He's a super technical golfer.  The way he finishes shots with the club perfectly over his head and parallel to the ground is crazy.  I think I'd slice everything if I did that.

I like Dustin Johnson, but my favorite PGA golfer will be Tom Watson as long as he's still playing tournaments.

Ryo Ishikawa.  Its crazy how far he hits the ball considering how small he is.  Also, the fact that he is donating all his winnings to the Japan tsunami relief effort makes me have a lot of respect for him.

I like him along with Rickie Fowler and Luke Donald.  I am amazed at Donald's short game, especially bunker play.

Probably Steve Stricker. Consistent and an excellent short game. Not very flashy, but he's good. Phil, DJ, and maybe McIlroy are also among my favorites.

Ricky Fowler is currently my favorite...followed closely by GMac.  As for Luke Donald I just love everything about his swing and really enjoy watching him play.

I like the Northern Ireland guys, Rory and Lee .  Tom Watson is my all time favorite and he's still giving the kids a run for their money.

My favorite golfer of 2011 Johnattan Vegas---I like his golf swing and character/personality. Jason Day would be my second choice. Golfers I have a lot of admiration for 2011 Steve Stricker+Luke Donald--ridiculously consistent Rickie Fowler--hasn't won anything, but always seems to be in contention Lucas Glover--Legendary Beard

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
