He’s apparently made changes since this, but here’s a swing video of the guy that just shot 57:

 

Wow, that's wild. Made some good changes since then.

Is it me or does Knapp look like Joe Dirt?

Aside from not being a Wyndham fan and maybe tired of  Scheffler, I can’t imagine any true golf fan not seeing the superior product we watched this weekend to any LIV Tournament.    Who watches

Is this meant to be ironic? He shanked that first one somewhere past Juneau.....

He didn't. I know it looks like that, but that's what you get with a super zoomed camera. That's one of the more extreme looking ones I've seen, but… that's not a shank. He hit it good, and didn't have to watch it since it just ended up in the fairway (he made birdie).

Not to downplay the round as a 57 is a 57 and you have to hit the shots....but it seems odd that the tournament was held on a course playing from 6,200 yards at 9,000 ft elevation.  Course shows as 68.8/123.    Seems that course would play like an executive course to these guys.

It's played over 2 courses. The other course is a 1000 yards longer. That's a big difference.

@colin007 Yea, I believe parallax is far worsened by the zoom of the camera. It's a reason pros care a lot about camera positioning when filming the golf swing.

Amazing round, but 57 on a par 70 is the same number under par as 59 on a par 72.

I really wish that explained it for me. It doesn’t really. It still looks like a cold, brilliant shank to me. I mean damn, it literally appears to go 90* right from the flag. And viewpoint A and B? Our viewpoint is between A and B so what does that do? F*** me….frustrating.😂

That's crazy wow, I watched it a half dozen times and even the reaction seemed to verify the shank but ig not

One thing  i have  noticed  is  Justin Thomas seems afraid  of Tiger Woods. When they play together Justin shrinks. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

Charlie has a tough road ahead of him as far as constant comparisons go. Time will tell if he makes it on Tour or winds up like Kevin Tway playing in Monday Qualifiers. One thing for certain, the media will hound him every step of the way, along with some a-hole moaning about how he's not as good as his dad.

I literally spit out my coffee on that one laughing. Thanks LOL

Fact 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      Whoops! Yep. That’s what I get for posting first thing in the morning. Anyways, Day 82: did my drill swings outside with foam balls for a solid 15 minutes. Still need hands down before turning.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I don’t have much time to practice beyond indoor putting, which I do most days.  Lately, I have been trying a variety of methods against my normal claw grip (which I changed to in 2016, or so, after developing the yips).    - Utley method - soft elbows that starts back with right elbow sliding and then uses gravity to let putter head drop and left elbow slides along left side. Great accuracy and start line, but distance control varies. - Stockton method - start with putter a little more vertical. First move back is forward press and then draw club head back. Maintain wrist angle and drive back of left hand towards target. Likely need more loft on my putter, but this has been very accurate and great distance control. Works well, for me, with both claw and index fingers pointing down the shaft.
