Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Doesn't that graphic kinda contradict the title of the article? I guess it wouldn't work if the URL was: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/11011019/Tiger-Woods-must-change-his-swing-and-take-pressure-off-his-back-plus-both-achilles-his-left-knee-his-left-calf-his-left-tibia-his-neck-his-left-elbow-and-oh-he-had-LASIK-eye-surgery-twice-so-make-sure-his-swing-doesn't-affect-that-if-he-is-to-save-career-claims-Sir-Nick-Faldo.html :-D

Don't see any contradictions. Tiger's swing is causing him medical issue, and the graphic illustrates his body is falling apart and that he needs to avoid further medical issues at all cost.

As a side note, what a pointed money line from Chamblee this is ...

“Woods reminds me of an ageing Hollywood actor who has had too much plastic surgery,” the Golf Channel analyst said.

Yikes!

Is it his current swing causing issues now, or simply old injuries coming back? That he gets hurt while playing golf doesn't mean it's because of a bad swing and that he would've avoided it with a different one.

We forget that Tiger has beens swinging from the age of three or even earlier?? small wonder he is having problems Check out roofers back or welders eyesight His father had him full time swinging long before his frame was fully developed and he has done brilliantly to get this far without serious long term damage

Ha ha. They just wanted an excuse to post the graphic.

I wonder how the graphic would look for JN, AP or GP. Player was in good shape though, I would think he had the least number of injuries.

    • I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
    • With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.
    • So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

    • Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
