I've always been a huge fan of Davis Love III's swing.

Love III for me too. Fantastic fluid swing and a stylish guy.

Also when coming down the stretch I like to try and think like Faldo in his pomp. True grit, determination and the ability to hit solid shots when it counts.

Tom Watson has always been the golfer who I most identified with - great temperment, great competitor, one of the best scramblers ever and a nice, classy guy as well. I love to watch Freddie swing the club and I always enjoy watching Phil, never know if he's gonna do something spectacular or horrific. The people I like are usually the quite guys who go about their job and have great short games (such as Tom Watson did 15-30 years ago).

As far as modeling my game, I'm probably closer to a trying to emulate Fred Funk than anyone else - he hits it straight (but not overly long) and has good short game and great attitude.

Funny, being the biggest Hogan Fan ever, I always think Ernie Els when I'm playing. I try to emulate his swing tempo.

For me I would say Jim Furyk. Cool, calm, and collected. Also he just finds his way around the course, he is a strategic player, not the longest, but still scores out there. I am definitely not a long ball hitter, and I play target golf.

Here's what I play:

I swing like Moe Norman. I have been modeling my swing after his for just over 10 years. I Learned my watching him live in Florida during the winters, then on video and trying to copy the feelings he was describing. It took me two or three years to really learn the right feelings in my swing. Now I can hit it where I'm looking 95% of the time, and when I'm on, I feel I can hole just about any shot.

But more importantly, I model his attitude. My golf did not start to get real good until I let go of all preconceived expectations and simply hit the ball. Moe's attitude was always go hit the ball, go find it, and then hit it again. After all the only thing you have to lose is a dumb little ball.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee
