I saw that Justin Rose has withdrawn from the Verizon Heritage.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 .

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...

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
