Michael Allen wins Senior PGA Championship


Just in....... Michael Allen wins the Senior PGA Championship in Cleveland and claims drinking 19th Hole wines is his secret!

O.K a little late for April Fools but I'm going to share in Michael's glory because we drank my wines during our "19th Hole West Coast Swing" at the Bob Hope Desert Classic, ATT and Los Angeles Open. I believe the wine takes a little time to kick in but when it does you'll win golf tournaments like Michael Allen. And yes he is a 19th Hole Wine Club member (and friend).

On a serious note Michael is truely one of the best ball strikers in the world and if you get a chance get out and follow him. Not only is a great golfer he is also a really cool guy and someone you want to see do well.

I think his swing may be one many other pros are going to try to emulate. His coach Mike Mitchell (Palm Desert) and him have really honed an awesome swing. It's very flat, as are his clubs (five degrees flat). He even flattens he driver lie angle which helps him avoid the left side of the golf course.

Watch for his name, because I think this victory is really going to give him the confidence he needs to win on the regular tour too.
