I’ve been training for speed in the golf swing for pretty much my entire adult life (27 years).

Padraig shot -23 to win the Portugal Masters. He is a great golfer as well as great person, and it’s great to see him get his 15th win on the PGA Tour. Padraig’s tempo is a super fast 18/6 on full swings. Hope to see him qualify for the Masters in 2017!
