"I was introduced to MJ from a young lady who sets up golf tournaments for corporate events all over the U.S at first I was just looking for some guys to play with because I had just move from San Francisco and I wanted to stay sharp so my intentions was to whoop up on whoever I played but to my surprise that did not happen as of yet. MJ Hit his ball with such pinpoint accuracy, and distance I was truly amazed, we played almost everyday for a week. We played on a variety of courses to the point that I thought it was on purpose, a different terrain different looks different hazard and in all cases he shot extremely low consistent Golf. I was amazed one day he shot 77,76,then 72 another day then it was 71. The next day it was 70 and then he put three rounds in the 60s I said to myself who is this guy T Witty one day even having four birdies on the front four birdies on the back. I’m still trying to recover, but I will see him again next year but truly he taught me so much, had some health issues and had lost some lust for the game but training with MJ quickly, rekindled my love for the game he showed me his infamous knockdown shot that has brought my scores all the way down and now I have better course management and with no stress on my body Thanks MJ But you know I’m coming for you!!
