Indeed. That's what I like about Phil - he seems very grounded (family, community, friends, charity ....). He doesn't mind taking a few chances and can live with the consequences when it doesn't pay off. And when it doesn't, next week he's back in the running at some other track. He knows that when he DOES win big, it's because he's taken a few (calculated) risks to put him on top. Not a bad way to earn a living, true to your own way of doing things.

We were talking about Scott - my bad. He really has the most gorgeous looking swing, and what balance at the end. Good to see him back in form.

Everyone who plays on the tour wants to win, especially a major and Adam Scott has all the tools to do that. Adam Scott, like all pros want to play to the best of their abilities.

In my opinion its the mental aspect of the golf game for Adam Scott and his putting.

Anthony Kim has the game to win Majors and every announcer at the Kiwi Open predicts that he will win several majors including Steve Williams, Tiger's caddie.

Adam Scott is what happened to Adam Scott. He has not been playing in many tournaments (only exclusive ones) and that has hurt him. I mean he has a really light schedule throughout the year and that hurt the man. He needs to play more tournaments and grind it out-and stop playing just the exclusive events

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Guy isn't even in the running anymore it seems.

Has any player who was in the Top 5 a year ago fallen so quick?

I imagine David Duval did. It is very frustrating to see Scott like this, he is an amazingly talented player but seem to have a lot of issues up top at the moment.

I heard Scott & Harmon have been making adjustments to his (Scott's) swing, making it a more flatter plane, but I agree with you - there's a lot more than just this going on.

This is not rocket science. Adam Scott, AK, etc, all of a sudden have way more money than they ever imagined. Couple that with much more high-quality poon, and you can see that a loss of focus is possible. They were golfers, they are now "celebrities," with all the good and bad that comes along with that.

Most pro athletes can get through this, but it does require an "adjustment" period.

I don't understand why he's making swing changes. His ballstriking isn't the issue, it's his putting, and overall short game. He has a great looking swing and great ballstriking everytime I watch him.

It's whether he gets the ball up and into the cup is the question.

Scott has been on the PGA Tour since what, 2003-2003(?) and has been earning

plenty of money throughout, so no, it's not rocket-science at all to suggest this has affected his game in the last 6-8 months. Both he and Kim were/are in steady relationships so the 'poon' comment is also way off.

There was an interesting article in the Australian papers today saying Adam has gone it alone in order to get his swing back, he said it had all got too complicated getting advice from too many people so he was alone at the range in London trying to get his swing back... will be interesting to see how he goes over the next few months... good luck to him i say!

I think both Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia are playing marginally better at this event then they have in months. Both in the same boat right and both have too much talent not to win something big.

      2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst

      By iacas ·

      Still not happy with Bryson's lies. For example, just yesterday: The hat was because of Payne. Years ago he was on record as saying it's because of Ben Hogan. The wall at SMU for Payne Stewart that he says made him decide to go there… didn't exist until after he'd begun taking classes at SMU. Both lies feel awfully "convenient" because he won at Pinehurst.

      Launch Angle With Driver

      By saevel25 ·

      Launch angle is a mix of dynamic loft and angle of attack. Dynamic loft including the loft of the driver and how it is influence at impact by your swing and by the golf shaft.  Odds are you have a negative attack angle. Yes, hitting it low on the club face can decrease launch angle to. Unless you can get the full set of stats, hard to tell what is going on.  Depends on the width of your stance. Rory has a super wide stance, so his all position is inside his lead heel, but it is forward in his stance.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 592, June 17, 2024 Played 18 holes pausing near the top of the backswing (may not have actually looked like a pause if you were watching me). Hit a 6I about 195 (flew the entire green) and a few other shots long, but… overall, pretty happy. Occasionally was lazy with the arms.

      You are absolutely right he never mentions LIV in his videos. The only reason he has his LIV team's logo on hat and shirt is a contractual obligation. And there is nothing phony about his fan interaction - one only has to go back and look how he interacted with fans at the President's cup and Ryder Cup. I hope the President's cup captain has the "presence of mind" to select Bryson as a Captains pick.

      Sounds to me like you’re still swinging in and you’ve learned to close the face a little bit more than you used to.
