Mike Schy delivers one of the most candid and entertaining presentations at Open Forum 7, sharing the full 13-year story of coaching Bryson DeChambeau from an 11-year-old junior to the PGA Tour.
Teaching from a tent for 17 years, Schy describes himself as severely dyslexic with a high IQ — "the only guy who can mess up spellcheck." He walks through Bryson's development, the single-length iron concept, the struggles of traveling with a player missing cut after cut, and the emotional highs of Bryson's breakthroughs.
The presentation covers Schy's coaching philosophy of working primarily with kids, Bryson's exceptional abilities with long irons, the infamous "longest guy on tour" phone call, and the reality of life as a traveling coach.
