Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
Troof. As my first boss told me decades ago: "Young men, there are women you date and there are women you marry. And never the twain shall cross." TROOF. [Reply]
Tiger's intentional popping of his lead knee to add speed to his swing is what ruined his body. That started the disintegration of his base of support that has continued to this day.
He may have played the best golf of his career with the perfectly parallel swing he had with Harmon, but, IMO, he should have stayed with the swing that was more across the line and upright. It was easier on his body and he was longer because he used gravity and leverage and not merely the unwinding of a top to generate speed.. The one area it hurt him was distance control with his irons, but even as a 20 year old, he had a great knockdown action. [Reply]
I had my son take a video of me swinging yesterday. It looked pretty good. I get the club parallel with the ground on my back swing. The problem is that it's only parallel because I apparently only bring my club back to about a quarter swing.
