Congrats to Joe Durant for
his 2nd place finish in Mexico. Good work Joe! From Yahoo Sports: Joe Durant
says a session with Jimmy Ballard last fall has helped him work out some kinks in his swing. Rocco Mediate actually suggested Durant go see the instructor and the advice has proven invaluable.
"I thought I was more of an upright swinger," Durant explained.
"I had really gotten flat and around, and Jimmy, he just kind of took a couple looks at me and said, hey, let's see you
get the club a little more up instead of around. I feel like I'm tracking the club down a much better plane now. I'm still
working on it, got a ways to go, but I'm hitting a lot better shots."Durant, who tied for second last week in Mexico, said he feels like he's on the
right track now. The four-time PGA TOUR champ spent a lot of time on the range during the offseason with a "plan and
a purpose" and the dividends show in rounds like the 66 he posted Thursday. "It does feel very familiar," Durant said. "I was getting
to the point where I was thinking that my body was starting to hurt. It had never hurt before, but because of the swings that
I had been making, I couldn't keep doing it. It feels pretty good."—
Nice mention in Golf Magazine's 50th Anniversary
Issue crediting Jimmy's work with Curtis Strange, "Applying Jimmy Ballard's connection-based teaching philosophy, which
stresses the use of the big muscles to control the little muscles, Strange built one of the most accurate swings of his generation
and bagged back-to-back U.S. Opens ('88, '89). . ."

his swing.
