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.

Closing an event is never easy. Kaymer will mature and be able to do that in due course. Look at veterans like Cink who have a terrible record in closing out the win.

I don't know about you, but I'm still waiting for Scott vs. Garcia to finally materialize. You would think these two enormously talented players would learn to how to close the deal on a 2 foot putt much less an entire tournament! I watched Scott blow yet another crucial two footer yesterday in Scotland when he was still very much in the hunt, absolutely pathetic for the supposed 3rd ranked player in the world!

In regards to Kim and Kaymer, I think Kim has the goods to be an absolute superstar, and I'm still not sure if I could pick Kaymer out of a line-up at this point, but I've heard some great things about him. Will be interesting to see how those two progress in the coming years.

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.

Immelman was in a playoff in the st jude championship. That's pretty close to 2 wins. He doesn't strike me as a regular contender every week but I'm sure he could be a multiple event winner

In my opinion Scott versus Garcia is a no contest, the only thing they have in common is that they don't have a major. Garcia is 10 times the player Scott is. Scott gets into so many good positions after 3 rounds then just folds. I like him but just do think he's a run of the mill golfer who has benefitted in the Tiger era of massive prize money for top ten finishes more than actually winning events.

      Day 283 - 2025-07-10 Got some work in while waiting for someone to show up for a GEARS lesson (they did not, and haven't reached out in 24 hours, so I'm getting a bit worried). Also recorded a video for @saevel25.

      I agree. Personally, I've been watching the LPGA for a couple decades. My wife and I attended the US Women's Open in Edina, MN way back in 2008.  Two comments:  1 - I also enjoy another women's sport; Softball. The College Softball World Series is a big event in our household. Interestingly, my niece plays softball and my nephew plays baseball. Often we go watch them both play the same weekend. Both games will have the same start time. I have to say I enjoy the softball more than the baseball. The women are on a 20 second pitch clock. Yeah, you read that right 20 seconds. Plus, the players stand in the dugout the entire game and sing and/or chant stuff the whole time. Tons of energy. The game moves along at a fast pace. We often watch my niece's entire game and then go over to watch my nephew and they are in the 3rd inning. The baseball seems to move at a crawl after coming over from the softball game.  2 - My daughter and I have taken to watching the youtube channel "The Golf Girl Games". Great content. Very entertaining. If you haven't watched them yet, I recommend them.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      It's not too far off, Scott. You can probably let the arms go up earlier in the backswing so the change of direction isn't quite so dramatic.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.
