A little bit about Derek, he is the director of instruction at the Forty Niner Club in Tucson Arizona where he has been for the past 16 years. He teaches all parts of the game but has found his niche in the short game where he teaches a few tour players, such as Erik Van Rooyan, Michael Thorgbornsen and Matt Wallace and alot of really good college and amateurs as well. He is on the Ping advisory staff and did some really cool research on how the high launch, high spin shot is produced. When I saw that video a few years ago I was amazed at what Derek can do with a wedge which is what makes him so special as he is still a fine player himself. In this conversation we get into everything short game including his framework for assessing whether to use the ground or hit the ball first on your shots around the green to the different pieces that are necessary. We also discuss some of his work with a few of his players and some of the common mistakes that amateurs make around the greens. Finally we cover a few of his favorite drills and how to practice your short game and much more including some personal growth tips and how he stays sharp everyday. This is the first time that I have met Derek and I really enjoyed his caring personality and you can tell that he has intentional passion or golf and for people which is why he is one of the most sought after coaches in the game.
