JD continues to get exemptions because hes popular and brings crowds to events that normally wouldnt draw. remember that JD is the one guy capable of putting up 90 and then the next day shooting 63

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Butch-at least with the common courtesy and with his reputation should have had the repect and decency to call John Daly and tell him about the split man to man...Instead Butch decided to let loose his ego and publicly humiliate the guy...I dont know about you but if this happened to me i wouldnt want to find out by reading about myself in the local paper the next morning. I mean the least he could have done is texted J.D.

And I would suggest that a little public humiliation is, at this point, warranted and perhaps required. JD is surrounded by enablers who do everything they can to hide John's gaffes from the public.

And Butch has to look out for himself, too. Who knows what kind of B.S. would have spread had Butch not taken the route he took.

No, he's not, and lately he barely gets the chance to shoot the 63 the next day because he either fails to show up, he withdraws, or if that "next day" is on Saturday he's already missed the cut.

JD is a draw for negative reasons. He's a circus act. Hell, he's worse than inviting Michelle Wie to your event - at least she tried and didn't crap on sponsors by WDing, suing, or failing to show up for a pro-am.

Didn't Wie have one WD - and then showed up practicing a day or two later?

Still, it was - to the best of my memory - a one time thing and not a pattern of behavior. And I agree with the overall message: if you give Wie an invite, especially to a men's event, she's going to show up and give it her all.

On the LPGA Tour. I was suggesting that sponsor's exemptions for Wie on the PGA Tour were less of a waste than giving them to JD. And they were a waste on Wie, so that tells you how I feel about giving them to JD.

Still, it was - to the best of my memory - a one time thing and not a pattern of behavior.

Also true.

And I agree with the overall message: if you give Wie an invite, especially to a men's event, she's going to show up and give it her all.

Whereas John won't, and may even sue you a year later for it.

Right. I knew I was missing a detail. Thanks.

does anyone know what JD has been up to since the Arnold Palmer event?..where is he playing next?

Not Puerto Rico ; he was invited but declined? I'm not sure I remember the details.

Watching Daly play golf and live his life is a bit like watching the Jerry Springer show. You want to turn the channel but you also want to see what is going to happen next. Heck, he might be on one of these days.

Now THAT is rock bottom.

I still love watching Big John off the tee box. I just think he sucks with the putter. It almost looks like he could careless about that part of the game.

I dont think JD will make the cut...Although the Zurich is a tournament i thought he would have done well in considering his length off the tee

Can JD make the cut in New Orleans?

He hasn't posted a score for the 1st hole today (Friday) yet, so I guess it's fair to offer my opinion at this point.

Yes - he can make the cut, but, I don't think he will. After the 1st round he was T-73 (or something in that area) & was right on the "projected" cut line. It will take a pretty good round today for him to make the cut.

I have a hunch he will make the cut, looked like he had a double bogey yesterday on a par 3 though...

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
