The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. Since its inception in 2003, TPI has studied thousands of golfers ranging from the top professional Tour players to weekend enthusiasts. An incredible amount of data on players of all shapes, sizes, ages, and fitness levels has been gathered during this time. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Additionally, TPI has analyzed how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. All this R&D means little to the average golfer if it can’t be put into practice in a simple and meaningful way. TPI Certified members are the delivery vehicle of all this knowledge to you. By working with a TPI Certified expert, you’re tapping into this vast knowledge base and taking the right

steps necessary to find your most efficient golf swing. TPI does not believe in one way to swing a club, rather in an infinite number of swing styles. But, we do believe there is one efficient way for every player to swing and it is based on what the player can physically do. The most efficient swing is not the same for every golfer, because efficiency is unique to their body. To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. This screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics and biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health and a client history. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. We offer home/gym programs with follow up consults, one on one and small group training. We have packages available for those interested in multiple one on one sessions.

Tailgating Is A Tradition By: Coach Andy Bryson For someone that has never been to a football game or seen the wild and crazy people painted in their team colors dancing and cheering for their favorite team, Tailgating would seem to be outrageous. But for one banker, it is a tradition. My friend and banker Matt Buuck is the branch manager at Iberia Bank on Acadian in Baton Rouge, LA. From Monday to Friday, Matt dons a suit and tie and proceeds to be a well-organized business professional. During football season however, on Friday at quitting time, Matt rushes over to LSU campus to help claim his group’s spot for the game on Saturday. Matt says he is a diehard LSU fan and has been one since he was a young boy. Matt belongs to a well-organized tailgating group called BATT or Big Ass Tailgating Tigers. This tailgating group was formed in the mid to early 1980’s. The original members of the tailgate included John and Marsha Sills, Mike and Linda Poor, Jim and Jane Thompson, and Bill and Jan MacNaughton. For at least ten years these four couples were the tailgate and then they added children and their spouses as they grew up and later friends of the tailgate group. Matt was married into the group when he married Bill and Jan’s daughter Jill. Jim and Jane Thompson were the favorite chefs for every www.LouisianaGridironFootball.com

Getting to Know Defensive End, Lyn Clark By: Coach Andy Bryson All photos in this article are curtesy of NSU Athletics

The coaches at Northwestern State University (NSU) are so impressed with Lyn Clark’s leadership abilities, playing abilities, and character that they wanted me to feature him in this months magazine when I asked who was their biggest standout. I went back to the film and watched him and learned why the coaching staff is so high on him. He is a furious lineman that has an amazing knack for finding the ball and laying a punishing hit on the ball carrier. When I spoke to Lyn, I learned that he is a man amongst boys. I say this because of his maturity and because of the personal battles he has had to overcome over his life. From a father that is in prison, to becoming a teenage dad, to being looked up to by his team mates. Lyn was truly a blessing to get to know. How did you get into playing football? I started young at 6 yrs. old. I would always quit and never finished because I would get into trouble and my mom would take me off the team. But as I grew up I matured, and I started watching football a lot. That was probably around when I was in middle school. I didn’t play, but I was watching. My freshman year I played, and then my sophomore year I had to sit out because I transferred to O. P. Walker High School. My junior year I started, and ever since then I have been at it. After going to a big school like Louisville why did you decide to transfer? I transferred because I needed new beginnings and new surroundings. That and I wanted to get closer to my family. My family is from New Orleans so Louisville was quite far away. Northwestern State is a lot closer. So, there are lots of schools you could have chosen, why did you pick Northwestern State? I looked at a couple schools when I was ready to transfer like University Louisiana Lafayette, but nowhere else had the kind of environment I wanted. Northwestern State has a family environment you can’t find just anywhere. Everyone cares and looks out for one another from the coaches on down to the players and fans. When you add in that I truly respect the coaches here, the choice was easy to make. Here is a tough one, last year you guys were the best, worst team in the country. I came up for your game against Southeastern, and that was just the impression that I got. I could tell you were a heck of a team, but for some reason you just weren’t getting the W’s in. Why do you think you weren’t getting the wins you deserved last year? In my opinion, we weren’t getting the W’s because of the lack of communication on the team. I’m not entirely sure why, but it just seemed like we couldn’t get everyone on the same page. The other major issue is I think we just weren’t prepared as a unit. I mean when you are going to be competitive, you need to be prepared to finish every www.LouisianaGridironFootball.com
