Coston interviews his student about the victory:
Q 1) Are you a better golfer now than when you won your first tournament and why?
Burly: Yes. I have gotten way more accurate with my approach shots. I have also gotten more precise with my wedges after going to Camp Coston this summer. Jeff Coston and Mike Bender taught me how to perfect my short game.
Q 2) what are the strengths of your game?
Burly: Without a doubt, my drives, wedges and chipping rock.
3) Do you practice more effectively and how?
Burly: Jeff Coston showed me how to practice with a purpose by using routines, contests and drills – especially putting. Getting a shag bag has also helped me immensely.
