Welcome to Breakin 80 Golf! Why Breakin 80? For better than 20 years I carried a 7 handicap... (7+72=79) I broke 80!!! Now you know how the name came about... I believe if I can self-teach myself to break 80.... and with my experience in the nuclear power industry, I could help others reach that mystical score. How we do this is really quite simple: we take the four main areas of the golf game: Driving, Approach, Putting and Course Management, to improve enough in each of these areas to shoot 79! After 30+ years as an instructor in the nuclear power industry, 30+ years of playing golf, I have decided to help those golfers who are looking to improve their abilities. From all my years as an instructor in the nuclear power industry, I learned students learned best when they could feel what the are trying to do. This is true for golf students as well. My focus is to identify those "fatal flaws" in one's swing and make the necessary adjustments. The process is by using feel methods to make the corrections, the students feels and realizes what we are trying to do much quicker and with better comprehension. A "Fatal Flaw" is that one, two or three items that a student is doing that unless corrected... will prevent that student from getting any better. Remember: If you think you can't... you never will.... If you believe... you will achieve! Michael Orlando: An Introduction:

The Garmin Approach R10 is a portable golf launch monitor that provides instant visual feedback and stats for each club. Practicing the same golf swing over and over again can quickly get boring and static. R10 shows you the carry distance, swing speed, ball speed, and smash factor for each ball and club. 10 provides instant visual feedback and stores stats for each club in various modes: We work in different modes depending on what we are trying to achieve and to keep the training stimulating.
