I saw that Justin Rose has withdrawn from the Verizon Heritage. Looks like it's a recurrence of his back problem.

What's he doing to strain it so much? He doesn't seem to swing as hard as some of them.

(Fuller details: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/7353735.stm)

Dougherty seems to be doing OK though - and Brian Davis, too.

Correct that about Davis - he shot a 74 in the second round!
Better than Ernie Els, though - he's missed the cut. Maybe he's got something going on at the weekend.

Davis Love? Says on pgatour.com's leaderboard he shot even par 71.

No doubt part of his "three-year plan."

J/K - I'll cut Ernie some slack. He's working with a new teacher.

I think you misread. According to the tournament's website on PGA Tour.com it is

under 7000 .

Fairways and Greens.

yep... it take driver out of many players hands on numerous holes.

As to JR... I can't really say why, but I just never really liked him... don't dislike him, just find him boring (whatever that means). It is kind of scary if he's already having back problems at his young age.

He's 28, though it seems he's been around forever.

Not sure exactly what his back problem is - does anyone know, precisely? but I don't think he's he only one and not the only one of his generation. Chucky three-sticks seems to ring a bell, for some reason.

Is it their musculature, or what? Tiger swings the club hard but he doesn't have the back probs - so far, anyway!!

Any ideas?

I had really, REALLY high hopes for Rose having a huge year for himself this year. I think those final holes in his second round at Augusta really messed up his mojo. He didn't recover in rounds three nor four, at all. I went on record here thinking he'd finish within the top 5 in the world this year. I think, hope, he'll pull himself out of this...

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
