He's back, but he's not going to win The Masters - too far back, too many missed opportunities. The 3-putt on 16 today was ugly. You don't leave your lag putt 8 feet short. Easy birdie putt on 18 that he also missed.

he still struggles with the same damn problem... he just makes bad bogeys at bad times.  I feel like he hardly ever has a bogey free round.  I get that guys make bogeys, but he just makes bad ones, at bad times, and seems to always make at like minimum 2-3 per round.

The above could be about any professional golfer apart from Tiger Woods.

Spieth won last week, came in 3rd this week at the Masters. Pretty impressive.

It’s hard to win two weeks in a row too.

Spieth usually won because of his play around the green and his putter. This week it kind of let him down. With his strokes gained tee-to-green, he should have won the Masters easily. IF he can continue to drive it the way he has recently, I think he is officially back.

Well that would imply that there's more to winning than shots gained tee to green.

How many other players "should have" won the Masters "easily"? 15? 20?

It was said in context with the fact that his usual success is with his putter.

Except ...that’s not true. JS actually putted better in 2019 than he did in 2015. JS has made his wins based on his ball striking primarily.

But he has almost always been a good putter and scrambler, His putting stats in 2015 were pretty good, probably top ten and he was #1 around the green. His success has rarely been because of tee to green. You don't even have to look at stats to see that, just watch him play.

Well...stats are the truth. What we think we see can be deceiving.

They were better in 2019.

I don't think that shot was all that scary. When's the last time a pro golfer fell forward even two inches when hitting a shot off a slight downslope.

Jordan's caddie tried 3 times to talk him out of the shot.  One thing is for sure, we'll be watching replays of that shot for years to come, every early February.  And what fun to talk about that shot with his friends.

    • Day 332: worked on my grip while watching pasta boil. Then did some mirror work later at night.
    • You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.
    • 100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.
    • The bold is very late.
    • Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
