Monty didn't finish first or second, won't break the top 50, and thus won't be at the Masters or the Players. Oh well.

I think he's a solid player, and underrated. But that having been said, he competed solely (primarily) on the weaker European Tour, never won a major OR a US event... and is well past his prime now.

And hey look , Paul Casey won. But in China, not the US.

Monty is/"was" more than solid ! He won European order of merit for 8 ? years on the trot ! Sadly he's on the slightly rising crest of a decline at the moment..... The old guard of Monty,Langer,Faldo,Woosnam etc etc are all passed it now in my opinion,and the new guard like Paul Casey,Ian Poulter and of course Sergio Garcia are more than starting to take over.I would agree he "probably deserves" a start spot though........

Related i guess (as he IS in),and i am,and since he won at Crooked stick in 1991,always have been a HUGE fan of John Daly.Amazing guy with sublime short game to counter his sometimes wild driving.He "seemed" to be controlling his mental powers too and i think im right in saying he has had of the greatest upward moves in the World rankings in recent times.But i dont like the look of his 18th hole at Bay Hill today - it was actually his 9th by the way.Lets hope the "dont care",possibly alchohol fuelled atitude isnt returning.

John Daly and Colin Montgomerie in one post. Never quite sure I'd see that day...

Didn't Daly get an 18 one year at #6?

18 !!!!!! - CRIPES .......... wouldnt surprise me though.

As gifted,talented,humble and generous (to charities especially) as he is, what really narks me is when he just makes the cut and then shoots 79,83 at the weekend and reportably does the last 18 holes in 2 hours 37 minutes before fighting with his pro-am partner in the car park or something equally silly.

I just wish he'd show a little more respect to the fans and himself when all's not going 100% for him.

Regarding Monty and Daly in one reply.I agree they are at opposite ends of the spectrum....Monty - methodical,a planner,makes the most of what he's got and a calculated risk-taker and despite his "grumpy" appearance gives every shot 100%.Daly - one of life's risk-takers,a gambler (yes,literally ),will go for anything,definately more talented than Monty on a per shot/per round basis but unable to keep it up for any length of time.Sure some of that due to the shots he takes on relentlessly with such short odds, and an inability to control his temper (with himself normally) or his emmosions.

I know which i pay to watch though and which i wouldnt

Yeah, John Daly did indeed take an 18 a few years back. Actually, it was in 2000 I believe. That was not up in the top 10 greatest "Daly" moments. But nonetheless, the guy just keeps bouncing back.

Now onto the topic at hand, it is a shame we won't see Colin Montgomerie at the Players Championship. I know he isn't in the top 50 world rankings, but he is definitely one of the top 50 players in the world at this moment. There is no doubt about that. I have always been a fan of him, even with all the American hatred the guy has gotten over the years. I liked his methodical game.

Would he be an alternate for next weekend by any chance? There are always a guy or two to withdraw, and I would imagine he would have to be one of the 1st alternates.

I don't think he's an alternate. They give those spots to PGA Tour members, and he ain't one.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
