Wow! I was wondering why he had to withdraw. First and foremost, I hope everything is ok with him and that he gets better quickly. That is so much more important than anything else right now.

Secondly, what happens if he can't go to the Presidents Cup? Do they go with Zach Johnson or another captain's pick?

Also, on a little sidenote, does anyone know why Sean O'Hair had to withdraw? Sorry sucker was on my fantasy team..

Scary stuff. I'll be surprised if he plays in the Presidents Cup. He should take care of himself first. I just hope that this is just an isolated event and not part of any bigger problem with his heart/health.

My guess is that his spot will be filled with a captain's pick.

Fairways and Greens.

Yeah, I agree Dave. I definitely don't think he should be taking part in the Presidents Cup by any means. His health is the big thing right now, and I think he needs to take a month or so off to run some more tests, etc. if needed.

David is a tough Louisiana boy, if he can make it through the hurricane he can make it through this. I had a conversation with him at the PGA Championship, he's got a great head on his shoulders. GET WELL SOON!

IF he can't play.... Go with Zach Johnson.

He can get the job done.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
