Or approximately 1.5 stones.

Quote:
After battling a neck injury throughout the 2014 season, Jason Dufner had a tough decision to make.
"If I didn't do it, I wasn't going to be able to play golf," Jason Dufner said of his weight loss last month. "I missed the playoffs, missed the defense of my PGA Championship. More than likely missed playing in the Ryder Cup because of it. So, not really ready to give the game of golf up yet."
And so Dufner knuckled down. He didn't really change his workout plan but he completely overhauled his diet, which he says is 80 percent of the reason for his weight loss. He went 11 straight weeks without any fast food, chocolate or peanut butter, and continues pretty much gluten-free nowadays: No sugar, processed foods, alcohol or soda. He lost 20 pounds in all.

You're not getting it. I wasn't offended by what you said and I'm 100% confident that steven wasn't either, and I also know for 100% that you didn't do it On purpose. All I'm saying is that you have

Wow that's a big difference in those two pictures. Good for him on loosing the weight. I need to take a page out of his book. I haven't been very on point with my eating habits lately.

Yea, I wouldn't have recognized him today at the Honda unless his name was written on his bag. Of course, after I saw him swing, I knew it was him, but he's lost quite a bit of weight.

I wonder how his game will be impacted losing that much weight over a short time period?  His body build looks different, but no one will ever accuse him of doing PED's that's for sure.

Now it is time for him to hit the gym. I'm happy for him!

I rapidly lost 30 lbs about 4 yrs ago. I was a pretty good stick then and I was concerned actually, that it would affect my game. On the one hand, I thought I'd be faster so that would help, on the other I figured I was not as strong so that would hurt. As it turned out, there was no impact either way. Didn't notice any change in distance with any club. Maintainted my short game. Total non-event. I gained back 20 or so lbs since, which sux, and I'm not as good as I was then but that's another issue altogether.

That looks like more than 20lbs off...and no, he doesn't look healthy

Agree. at least about the 20 pounds. That looks more like a 30-40 pound weight loss.

Most often when a player loses that much weight their game goes south.

Not to be snarky, but do you have any credible source for that info? I'm just curious. I know what Carl Petterson said, but that's certainly not enough data to classify as "most often"

Jack did alright when he slimmed down.

Well I'm sure not credible, but I've seen it happen a bit too, even with the pros. First time when I was a kid and Leonard Thompson lost a ton of weight, played crappy, gained the weight back and found his game. Petterson too. Monty another one.

My theory is that some folks have swings that generate distance mostly from shifting weight, esp when they are heavy. Lose the weight, they have nothing to shift anymore and can't hit it out of their shadow. Gain the weight back and the distance comes back.

More rotary swingers not so much of an issue maybe?

Guess its hard to distinguish the people like Jack or Duval that lost weight and got really fit, vs the guys like Thompson or Monty who prob just lost weight and didn't really get that more fit, just thinner :-) . Without much thought I'd prob lump Dufner into group 2, hope he is fitter now too.

Maybe it's psychosomatic? A small percentage of people can't curtail the appetite, can only hold it off so long, it affects their everyday competency in doing things? Once they've gone back to their usual eating habits, things are back to normal?

If usual eating habits means eating more calories than you burn, then yes you'll gain weight.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
