Oh bull. Your own stupid theory was shot down so now you're trying to act as if you were secretly looking to prove something else? Get real.

Honestly, if he's doing some good for the game, I fail to see why you're getting your panties up in a bunch about him being on the cover of a magazine. I also read the article, and it has a lot to do with golf, so I don't understand why you're being such a snide jackass about the whole thing.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said so far.

However, it's been mentioned a couple of times already and I'll repeat it:

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS HOSTING A PGA EVENT LESS THAN ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.

http://www.jtshrinersopen.com/

That was the main reason he was featured in the magazine. The added benefit is that he, himself enjoys playing the game and is rather good at it. Beyond that, as others have mentioned, he's pumped millions into bettering the game.

This was not an attempt to bring young people to the game through JT, this was simply interviewing the celebrity host of an upcoming PGA Tour event.

Plain as day.
In the bag:
Driver: `09 Launcher (10.5º) w/ Fujikura Fit-On Red Stiff
3 Wood: `09 Launcher w/ Fujikura Fit-On Red Stiff shaft

JYB, mang you've got some pretty strong anger about 'things' and I think you are aiming it in the wrong direction. You need to chill out out and reassess.

Seriously.

Justin Timberlake on the cover of GD is not a symbol of everything that's wrong in the world.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW

Whether intended or not, it's hard to dispute that JT gets kids to the golf course....

FAR more interesting than the Justin Timberlake story were the two golf architecture related articles by Ron Whitten in the same issue:

"Bunker Mentality"
a pictorial essay on various bunker styles.

"Big Mac, Little Greens + Wide-Open Spaces"
A look at modern course design and its links to the past with emphasis on the pioneering style of C.B. Macdonald and some of his "template" holes.

This statement is an attempt bailing out on the discussion because you have realized you have lost this debate and look like a complete jackass.

Who does she love?

My guess would be Adam Scott, but the answer remains shrouded in mystery.

Well, shrouded by something. . .

Let's stick to topic or, if it's run its course, just let it die a slow death, ok guys?

Perhaps a visit to the "Secret of Golf ..." thread might lift the mood a little.

We're all friends here (hopefully)

great, go ahead and keep sucking celebrities off in this bullcrap american celebrity driven culture.

Wow, such vehemence. Probably just a troll, but I'll take a bite.

Yeah, he's more talented, rich, good looking, etc. than I (and 99.9% of the world) will ever be, but he loves golf, just like all of us here. He knows the elation when you pure a shot and feels the frustration after playing poorly. If he wants to make golf cool, than I'm on his side, not on the side of a seemingly bitter golf crony. BTW, his real name is "Justin Randall Timberlake". Have fun, JG

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
