| Kyle and Coach Jang at Hank Haney Golf Ranch |
Kyle is currently coached by Coach Suckki Jang at the Hank Haney Golf
Ranch at Vista Ridge. Coach Jang has worked hard with Kyle and Paul, fine-tuning Kyle's golfing game with great success.
Using the latest in video technology - Kyle sees immediately what is needed with driving, chipping and putting. Coach
Jang made Kyle a member at the Golf Ranch and his support and encouagement have been a wonderful motivator. He has incredible
vision and passion and we look forward to many years of tutelage as Kyle advances up the ranks of Junior Golf. The video
monitor shows Kyle with perfect swing plane. The computer progam allows them to analyze Kyle's swing and show him exactly
how his form is throughout. It has been invaluable for Kyle to see exactly how his mechanics should be. It is
also used to time Kyle's swing and measure the tempo at four different points in the swing. Kyle's tempo is at the same
level as professional golfers.If
you watch the Hank Haney Project on the Golf Channel, you can see Hank use this with Charles Barkley and Ray Romano, with
Coach Jang in the background running the computer.
You can see more of Kyle and Coach Suckki Jang at the Hank Haney Web Site. Check out the Junior Development
as well as Blogs/Forums. We're also proud and excited that Kyle's coach has another student - PGA pro Danny Lee.
Way to go, Coach Jang!!!!

THE
INSTITUTE FOR GOLF FITNESS Where Golf and Fitness Meet
In 2009, Kyle began working with Chris Owenby at the Golden Bear
Golf Center. Chris is the Golf condtioning specialist. and he is certified by the Titleist Performance Institute
and combined with his own education in nutrition and health, and his understanding of the specific needs of the golfer, he
is the perfect addition to Kyle's training. Chris provided
Kyle with a safe array of exercises and stretching routines designed to increase his strength, flexibility and improve his balance. The improvement is visible and
since no fancy equipment is involved, it is easy to continue the workout at home and when we travel to tournaments. Thanks Chris!!!

When Kyle was only 3, he began working with Coach Wesley Francis,
when he was the golf pro at Riverchase Golf Club in Coppell. Wesley's unending patience with junior golfers is one of
his strengths and he has been not only Kyle's coach, but I am honored to say Friend. He has supported Kyle at every
level, including travelling with Paul and Kyle to his first World Championship in Williamsburg, W. Va in 2005, where he was
the highest ranked 5 yo in the 6 & Under Division after only 2 years of coaching.
Wesley continues to
train junior golfers and knows what it takes to get them tournament ready. US Kids allows golfers to begin competing
at age 6, getting invaluable experience and the sense of accomplishment that will last a lifetime. Check out his
website for more information. Coach Wesley can be found at the Golden Bear Golf Center in Carrollton, TX.
