are you surprised?
he's worked with Leadbetter after his 1996 Masters collapse. he dumped Butch and blamed Butch for his demise and started working witih Leadbetter. He said then that Lead was an incredible teacher..insinuating that he was better than Butch

..
Well, a few years later when Tiger dumped Butch...guess who run to Butchie...looks like he's back again..the problem could be that lead is more accessible to folks living in Florida..

Led will have his work cut out with Norman's son. Good mechanical swing but doesnt look very athletic.

Does anyone know if Normans son can play, I mean really play at a high level, has he won any junior events or anything of any significance, just curious.

His son will be a good club/small college player. I think that is all he wants to be anyway.

I wonder how much Lead and Butch pull down a year. Must be huge. Lead has a bunch of schools. It seems like Butch has an incredible stable of tour players as clients. Butch had a line of players at the Masters who were clients.
Bob Rotella must do alright for himself as well.

hey all; Good move for norman since butch is having good success with most of his clients lately (daly excluded). On a side note didn't norman say at some point last year that he was giving up competitive golf so what changed? Thanks

Saw Norman and his son at the ATT this year and I would say the kid has alot of work to do before he should start thinking about golf seriously. Maybe I caught him on a bad day but I wish him the best.

He's just about to (if not already) graduate from the University of Miami. He plans on playing in some events as an am and then decide if he wants to persue a professional career. To the guy that said he's not very athletic, have you ever seen him? He was also a very accomplished kite-boarder. You have to be pretty athletic to do that.

Saw him swing it ... pretty stiff. Very average athlete at best ... better he goes into his dads business , no upside with the golf.

He's a +1.9 at Medalist Golf Club. I'd say he has some talent for sure.
