Could this be the great rivalry the golf world is crying out for?

I'd love to see them go head to head.

The Ryder Cup could be the place.

Not to... whatever, but who cares about a rivalry for anything but first place?

I suppose it'd be something to look for in the future, but its hard to tell if they'll keep it up for the rest of their careers...heck for the rest of this year!

But I will admit I do enjoy watching them both! My father was born in Germany and my mother was born in Korea (I know, I know - AK grew up here, but still ).

It is an exciting prospect, they are both brilliant players.

On a side note if your looking for young british talent to start challenging in the next couple of years search "oliver fisher"

Martin Kaymer's mother died of cancer yesterday.

I wish him all the best and hope this doesn't effect his future, and he can use it to spur him on like Rose and Woods have done previously.

I'm sure it will effect him over the remainder of this season though.

I like the look of Fisher, he was unlucky to loose that play-off to Levet but he did blow it on the 72nd hole.

Sad to hear - hope he takes his time to handle his loss and comes back strong. All the best to him and his family.

Regarding Rory McIlroy - a lot of people expected more from him at the beginning of the season but so far he has been quite average. But only time will show how these new talents like Kaymer, Kim, McIlroy will develop over the medium timeframe and give a clearer picture where in the world of golf they can establish themselfs. Look at Immelman - how many predicted a great season for him after the Masters win - didnt happen - like so often in golf, dont get confused by shortterm events. If we could make the same topic next year again then their might be more value and certainity to it than today.

Tbh, how many people hit a 275 yard 3 iron on the 72 tee, he hit a 3 iron to lay up short of the water and just nailed it, and made a really good 5 after dropping from the water, to be honest I wouldn't call that blowing it... pure bad luck (imo).

Kaymer and Kim have both won twice this season, I can honestly say Immelman does not ever look like he is a 2 win a season (on a regular basis)golfer.

Kaymer and Kim do not live in fear of Woods as much as Immelman and Co.

Oliver Fisher does look like the proper prospect mentally he is better than alot of the other youngsters and has had to live with alot of expectation after becoming the youngest walker cupper at 16 and the youngest to win his card but has shown a consistant improvement. I think McIlory is showing that improvement after learning to live with it just needs to sore up his putting stroke but he is working on it and had a decent showing at the London Club last weekend.
For Kim he has shown constant belief in himself after I think he left Oak. State to get his card - i think that he will push on to become a world top tenner but more is questionable. The same goes for Kaymer but he does seem to struggle a bit coming in when in the position - BMW and last years French Open

DAAAAMN GINA!

But since we're talking about youngsters, we ought to throw in a few more - Sean O'Hair and Nick Watney to name a couple.

I will enjoy watching that match. I like how they play and their swings. Sorry about the mother of Martin.

True - was leading the Scandinavian open at the last hole at that time - par would have been enough on a par3 - and completly butchered it.

Both of them are young, and from what I've watched of Kaymer, he seems like he's got a lot of distance, but finesse can get the best of him down the stretch, hence the 74 and 75 finishes in his two European Tour wins. Albeit he had those shots to give up, but what about the 1 stroke leads? Kim, on the other hand, has played his way into wins with a 69 to finish with 5 strokes ahead and a 67 at the AT&T; to win by two. They are both 23, both are talented, and they have won multiple times at a young age. Hopefully they can keep it going and I think that both have to grow into their game a little bit, but they are definately two promising young athletes.

As far as the Ryder Cup goes, I believe that young guys going at it would make for great TV.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
