edhunter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I`d rather watch DeChambeau than the horror of Wolff`s swing - that`s the Furyk, octopus-in-phone-box thing all over again. Being fitter and stronger is now a reason to criticise? When I 1st saw that I thought my stream had glitched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I had started to develop a habit of not having my clubhead flat on the ground. My instructor helped me to fix it but I feel like it looks like DeChambeau. My arms are definitely straighter. I can't complain with the results though. While I'm still working on getting distance back up I haven't shanked an iron in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Goddammit. I was watching the HBO documentary Tiger yesterday and heard him in an interview about his chances of making the Masters after his back surgery, which seems very insignificant now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's obviously gone. You just have to hope with his back in a weajened state that paralysis doesn't come into.play...the injuries were said not to be life threatening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who I want to win majors when Tiger`s not in the field. Guess I`ll have to dust my own clubs off, try and get my game back, or Golf will be dead to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 He's done. I know he's considered superhuman by many. But he's 45. This and the back too? He's got a long recovery ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Eesh, a yale of two nines for Mickleson today. Phil drove the ball well all day and was tied early for the lead at -3, but missed putt after putt in a string of holes, making three bogies and sliding backward out of the lead. A late birdie charge (five of the final eight holes) got Phil a few strokes back to help him finish at -5, good enough for second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of movement late yesterday, pretty bunched up leaderboard -- could be exciting! C'mon, wind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I hope Phil can stay in contention today. I can`t count the number of times Freddy Couples led the Masters early as he got older. Phil`s looking sleek and that improvement in his fitness could give him the edge his game has missed in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
