I may post this to the blog, or I may not... About.com: Top 10 Golfers of 2004 (and my thoughts):
  1. Vijay Singh - I think he'll have a good 2005, but not nearly as good as 2004. Almost all of his wins came at the end of the year. Something "clicked" and it won't last that long.
  2. Annika Sorenstam - I'd flip her and Vijay.
  3. Ryan Moore - I take back what I said about Els being in the top three if you include amateurs (Michelle Wie doesn't really count as an amateur, since she's won very, very few amateur events and is too busy playing in PGA Tour events).
  4. Ernie Els - disappointing year, but he was close about fifty seven times. I'd have given him a top three.
  5. Phil Mickelson - OK. Fine. But don't put me in Phil's fan club.
  6. Meg Mallon - Yeah, I'll give him this one, but I'd have put her down a few slots. Tiger had a better year.
  7. Tiger Woods - Duh.
  8. Retief Goosen - Yeah, OK.
  9. Kevin Stadler - yawwwwn. Apparently this list has almost nothing to do with skill level. Kevin's got a ways to go.
  10. Michelle Wie - "she didn't win a single tournament" is right. She nearly made the cut almost a year ago, but whoopty crap. I can think of a few golfers I'd put ahead of Michelle Wie.
What do you think?

Hale Irwin had one helluva year for a guy starting his seventh decade on this planet. I'd have put him in ahead of Wie. Maybe even ahead of Mallon. Definitely ahead of Kevin Stadler.

Todd Hamilton would have to go on my list somewhere. It'd probably be closer to the bottom, but how can you discount two wins in a year including the Brit. Open.

Grace Park too, she won a major on the LPGA, I'd definately take her before Wie.

Peter Jacobsen for winning the sr. open and walking 5 miles while still rehabing from hip surgery.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
