Thank you for that information,I would have loved to see him in person -
I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green. Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy. As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that. -
A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us! that is why I stated "a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences" it is not all entitlement. -
Yea, it is a cult following. Especially with the YouTube golf personalities using them. They did great marketing in a space that not many other golf clubs are getting into yet. Especially for putters. I tried them out at Golf Galaxy before; I can't stand them look of them. -

Hit the driving range on lunch today. The LAB Putter Cult was going on and on at nauseum about that putt. They are 100% sure that the LAB putter is the reason he won the US Open. "When are you getting your LAB putter?" 😒 "JJ Spaun was unheard of before he got the LAB putter." "The LAB putter is the reason JJ Spaun won the US Open." "Just watch, by the end of the year every PGA Tour pro will have a LAB putter." etc... etc... etc... I haven't seen this type of unconditional devotion to a club that will clearly change your game and save you strokes since the original "Hammer" ... POW! ... BOOM! ... WHAM! ....
