According to John Cook, Tiger's swing was "clicking" on Tuesday: http://progolftalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/17/woods-friend-john-cook-says-new-swing-clicked-on-monday/

Then Hank Haney commented: http://progolftalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/18/observations-from-hank-haney-on-tiger-woods-progress/

Just thought it would spark an interesting topic.

I heard the same thing from someone in Foley's group on Tuesday before I'd seen any of this John Cook stuff. So I'm inclined to believe it, but...

John Cook said something similar last year before the Masters, so... we'll have to wait and see.

At risk of getting flamed, Twitter sounds lamer and lamer every day. I haven't seen such a blatant cirlcle jerk like this since the Bridgestone ball fitting "round table" ad I saw on The Golf Channel yesterday. I wanted to smash my dad's TV. Anyway, this story reminds me of that commercial.

Clicked on the course or range? His swing has been a work in progress for some time now, he will have times where it feels perfect and times where it doesn't hold up. Tiger saying it clicked won't make me bet large numbers on him, but I do hope he'll get more consistent with his new swing.

Haney didn't have much to say. But you wouldn't expect him to do so. He's probably too busy with the young wife!!

From Cook:

"Ever have one of those perfect range sessions? Apparently, Woods had one when Cook was there.

“He was really feeling something special on Tuesday,” he said. “[J]ust to stop and watch and see the excitement he had on his face and the flight of the golf ball as to what he was explaining to me what was going on in San Diego and Dubai.

“He said it’s way better and way different. And this only happened on Monday and Tuesday he was just feeling it even more.”

Maybe Tiger found something.

But will it go back to the Lost and Found?

That's the question.

I think the easy argument would be "they wouldn't say anything."

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
