4) A combination of different sources of information, mostly a lot of free weights

5) No

None of these were answered with regards to alleviating pain, only to improve to the swing, i don't have any significant body pain that limits my mobility in any way.

With the popularity of P90X I'm surprised more people here haven't tried yoga, it's one of the modules. That was my first experience. Far and away the most difficult thing in the program for me. It helps with flexibility but I had no unrealistic expectation I'd ever get yoga fit or anything. Requires a lot of dedication.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
