The guy isn't too flashy, and not the greatest looking swing in the world. But, he's held is own on tour for a long time, and looks as though he's found himself another groove in his game. I really want to be the type of player he is, under the radar good.

Honestly man, those are words i never thought i would hear. I dont hate him but i dont exactly like him as a player. I respect the fact he's found longevity in his career.. even as a short hitter. But he's not someone i find myself rooting for. Thats just my oppinion, lots of people dont root for Mike Weir but he's one of my favorite players.

I would have to say that Justin Leonard is one of my top 5 favorites, he's on the short list of guys I'll search the leaderboard for each week. Last year was disheartening finding him below the cut line almost every week, but he's really got it going in the right direction this year. He's sitting great after 2 round at the Byron Nelson.

He's an enigma to me. I thought he would win more when he won the British Open in '97, then fell off a bit. He had his memorable putt at the Ryder Cup, but really hasn't done much to warrant superstar status. He's steady, not long, decent putter, and seems to always be around, but that's it (all my opinions of course). He isn't someone I overly root for.

JL is the perfect example of a guy who plays within himself and doesn't try to be something he isn't when he plays with the big hitters.....I've always liked JL

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • 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 🙂
