the sybase classic presented by shoprite, like all modern golf tournaments dressed in commercial corporate tackyness giving their fervent effort to hijack the soul golf, found its fun as a dance partner. "would you like to buy a time-share at your hilton vacation resort" and other barkings greeted one's entrance ...endtrance??? onto the course.

the golf course has a well-seasoned feel with the many trees of common and exotic varieties maturing along its fairways. i appreciated the efforts of the 1930's greenskeepers who took the time with the plantings to have them become the majestic beauties they are today. i hugged every tree on the course, in my mind in my heart.

lorena's iron play has kept alive speculation whether she is in fact the prophetic return of quetzaquatll, the ancient mayan serpent god who was prophesied to return at the turning of the wheels of time to timelessness of the millennial shift of the 2012 endtime. she embraced one of those majestic trees on #6, a par four where she was behind one from her drive on the right hand side. its was a big wow moment for the gallery when she put her shot to the green through a ten yard opening in the trees branches 20 yards off the ground. everyone assumed she was going to hit a low trajectory shot and go under the limb. it was a better shot than her one on 18 that has received so much press. her putting today suggested she may as well be a plenenary expansion of king kong.

Hmmm. I was thinking: "Good to see Morgan Pressel contending."

watched her hit a few shots, she's cute and also one of the more petite ones out there now, lost her baby fat she had last year, i heard she's a shopaholic and she looks the part, wore a big gaudy ralph lauren sweater with a rider and horse playing polo on it, not too long but accurate, not a comfortable swing for me to watch as she has a very strong grip and i can't figure out how those with them can be so accurate, boo weekley is the same with his grip

one thing i've been musing on is the "lift clean and place" rule for damp conditions. i think its a better idea to have a referee along with each group to decide whether a ball needs cleaning. for one, while it rained on friday, the course wasn't wet on sunday and players were taking advantage of the rule. one player had a side-hill ball below them fairway lie and lifted their ball which wasn't even dirty and moved it 1 club length so they were level with it which completely changed the nature and difficulty of the shot.

i feel the "lift clean and place" should only apply to plugged balls and if someone balls has a little mud on it, so goes the game of golf and the rub of the green

one thing i didn't like was on #8 green, lorena was setting up to putt and then comes charging onto the green these folks who turned out to be immigration officials checking out to see if lorena had green card and working papers. i thought it would of been more appropriate if they would of waited till she putted and left the green without making such a big fuss.

I didn't see the whole tournament, but I assume that you are kidding.

Lorena is Mexico's national hero so that would have caused an international incident.

    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
    • Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
    • The answer to this question is a very small change in impact can cause a BIG impact in direction. This is with the driver, but its similar with the irons... How much does an open or closed clubface affect your drives? | RoboTest Want to hit more fairways? The latest edition of GOLF's RoboTest highlights the importance of driver face angle. For a driver, 1 degree of clubface open or shut causes 10 yards of left or right. When you think the rate of closure for a golf club, how fast the club face goes from open (top of the golf swing) to square (at impact), 1 degree is a small quantity.  This means, when you are looking at video of your swing, you can see the exact same swing, but present the clubface in two widely separate positions. More so if you have swing faults. You can make the same backswing, but not get your weight forward well and hit a fat shot. You then react to this, try not to fat it so you thin it. Maybe the timing is off on the extension part of the downswing and you thin it slightly. Also, certain swing movements cause the wrists to flip at impact. The intent is still to hit the ball with the club. So your hands are going to adjust to find the ball. The more they have to adjust, the more difficult it is to repeat. Nope, it is way less mental than physical. If we could all think our way to a better swing, we would all be PGA tour players.  #GOLF IS HARD!  Beginners have repeatable swings, just bad repeatable swing. We all just need to make repeatable better swings.  The golf swing is a battle of making movements that allow the club to do good things. You results are from a bad swing that has a wider range of outcomes. Your outcomes are probably the following. Way more thins, fats, skulls than most. You hardly see PGA Tour players fat, skull or thin a shot.  The first principle of golf is FEEL IS NOT REAL. Meaning, we can feel things in the golf swing, yet it produces results or shows on video as something else.  You just set up to the ball. The club has a different length, so you need to adjust. For most your arms extend more out as you have a longer club. You also bend over less for longer clubs. It is just something you get used to. If you make a fist and stick your thumb out. You want that width from the butt end of the club and your belt buckle. Now, if you taller or shorter than most, then you may need to adjust the length of your clubs.    
    • At address? I think so. Downswing and through? IDK. I doubt if a whole lot of golfers, if any at all, deliberately think "I have a 9-iron so I need to bend half an inch more through the downswing compared to my 8 iron".
