A lot of bad play and a very notable temper tantrum on the course. That's about all I remember of him, although I was a fan of him in the beginning. I would like to see him straighten up a bit.

As for Pressel, I'm glad to see she signed with Callaway. I think it's good for Callaway to get the younger talent, but I really wish some would start playing to their potential. (CH3)

Here is a little updated info on Barnes.

"At 24, Barnes is not yet facing financial problems. He endorses Oakley, Ping, Callaway, you name it. He is tall, fit, photogenic, bursting with personality. But after contending - he finished 21st - at the '04 Masters, upon winning $78,000 in the '04 Phoenix FBR Open and teasing the golf world with his potential, he has gone surprisingly flat and has no real status on any tour. He finished 80th on the Nationwide Tour money list this year ($60,614). He sometimes went three weeks between tournaments, failing to qualify or receive an exemption. " "Barnes, also a former U.S. Amateur champion, is now 0-for-3 at Q school. After opening with an 81 at Bayonet GC in Seaside, Calif., the former Arizona All-American fought back with three-straight 70s, but finished two strokes from advancing. He should still get some Nationwide Tour chances. This year he was second on that tour in putting, fifth in all-around, and 22nd in scoring -- but 82nd on the money list." He is also listed as 61st on the australian tour order of merit earning $19,511 He has some conditional status on the nationwide tour but not full status. I bet callaway still shakes their head in disbelief over that mistake. He also signed with gaylord managment back in 2003. Callaway's year ended up with only six victories. One by olin brown, one from michael campbell, and four from phil mickelson. Thats not all that great considering they have 29 pga tour staff members. Maybe they will hit the mark with pressel. She definitely has the potential but so did many others signed by callaway.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
