Mike Boyko played drums in sold-out arenas and rock clubs around the World. He has a world-class resume for a musician, playing with Two Skinnee J's, Ram Jam's Howie Blauvelt, John Waite and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. As a musician, Mike performed on the same bill as Outkast, Ludacris, Jurassic 5, Incubus and 311. As the drummer of the UK pop-rock band FAT, he toured with such bands as Smashmouth, Third Eye Blind and Sugar Ray. Now, Mike is putting his drumming prowess to good use: he's helping golfers lower their handicaps with his "Tempo in Motion" music downloads.

"I was in the studio, playing with 'Fat,' and was drumming to a rhythm track in my headphones," he begins with some nostalgia. "I'd listen to the beat in my head, then I'd take my headphones off, and I'd be rock-solid playing the beat. Then I had an idea: maybe this can translate to the golf swing," he finishes with a flourish.

With that, "Tempo in Motion" was born. All Mike needed to do to lower his handicap was to translate his natural rhythm as a musician to his golf swing. Boyko simply played and recorded musical tracks that had beats mirroring the tempo of his swing. He calls these tracks "click patterns." He then plays the tracks over and over again on his portable music player to groove the tempo of his swing.

"I was in my studio, which is now my golf lab, and would write a track, then I'd put a click pattern within the track - beat that mimicked the speed of my swing - and then take it with me to the range or to the golf course."

The results were astounding. "I got instant feedback. My swing became solid," Boyko exclaims. His tempo became self-actualizing, second nature. "I got amazing response at the range. I was hitting the ball a lot more solidly, because I wasn't thinking about my mechanics."
