I have gotten a few emails the last week or so basically saying this…
“Monte, I would really like to hear more stories about your career and life on the tours…told through the eyes of your sense of humor.”
I wrote a book on just this subject.

One good week with the putter and Tiger gets the best odds to win at Augusta.
I’d like to see Sergio have a hot week with the flat-stick and see if it improves his personality.
I’ll be rooting for Luke and Lefty.
Monte’s book is really good. I’ve read parts of it a couple of times now.
Monte’s book is great. The best 10 bucks you’ll ever spend.
monte – good talking to you on the phone yesterday. this comment isn’t related to your latest post, but i just wanted to let you know i took a couple of your swing tips to the range yesterday – 1) right shoulder tugging rubber tube away from left toes, and 2) rotating the shoulder 90° to spine angle. both tips helped me achieve a better shoulder turn which resulted in better ball striking. now i need to work on translating that move to swinging my other/longer clubs.
Hi Monte, another unrelated note. I just watched your “Bump, Dump, and Turn” Video.
2 questions, is this a slight departure from “Everything turns in sync”? and can you set up in a “Pre Bumped” position so all you need to worry about is “Dump and Turn”?
Jason.
It is not a departure, it is a clarification. The bump is a timing mechanism that allows everything to turn in sync, creates tilt behind the ball and shifts your weight to your left side…and more good things than I can list. This whole “don’t slide” and “turning in a barrel” is just nonsense.
Presetting the bump as I described in the video “Proper Tilt” can be helpful, as your body will want to return to that spot…but no, you still need that bump.
Thanks Monte.
