2. Introduction
 A former Town Council Member and Mayor in Los
Gatos, California, Stephen “Steve” Rice is also a
longtime financial advisor at Rice Financial
Consulting, Inc., also located in Los Gatos. Steve
Rice has balanced his professional and
community responsibilities with interests in travel
and golf.
In a recent Golf Magazine article, Colin Swatton,
who coaches and caddies for the well-known PGA
player Jason Day, explained some of the
techniques Day uses to execute flawless shots on
the course. For example, Swatton states that Day
maintains a pyramid-shaped body formation on
the backswing.

 Swatton explains that the pyramid shape
restricts knee and hip movement, which is
essential for a strong swing. Instead, Day uses
a large shoulder turn to create power.
Swatton also explained that Day achieves
maximum power by combining a strong
backswing with proper sequencing on the
downswing. To ensure that the club is moving
at full speed when it impacts the ball, the
golfer’s hips should move first, followed by the
torso, then the arms, and lastly the hands.
