Yea AK really wasn't much of a teacher, but I still thought he was pretty funny. I still learned some pretty good stuff from Tiger though.

Kim is one of the top players in the world. So he doesn't have a systematic way of playing, who cares? You weren't watching some tutorial online. Kim's basic advice is you aren't a pro because you know where to put the ball in your stance or how your swing is picture perfect, it's all feel and practice. I liked his advice when he said if you're hooking right in practice, then you'll play to that when you get on the course and not try to force the ball to do something else. I think you can call Kim a joke when you make a couple million dollars from playing golf.

I notice a big difference from Anthony Kim and Tiger just on their ball position.

Tiger is within 3 ball distance for his ball position on all his shots, while Anthony could be front leg or back leg for his PW depending on how he's striking the ball. I impressed with Anthony Kim that he is able to adjust each day and play the fade all day if he needs to be as long as its not going left, I think this is very difficult for most golfers even pros to be able to adjust so much day in and day out.

chill out, bro. i dont have a problem w/ AK as a player. in fact, he is prolly the only guy on tour that has made me tune in to a televised event since tiger got hurt. what i was miffed about is that he is not a very good teacher, and i didnt learn anything from what he said. the advice that you quoted was nothing new for me, or anyone else who has some clue about what they are doing. the 3 shows were painfully disguised pitches for nike. nothing more. peace out.

sorry i wanst trying to attack you but you simply said he was a joke. So i took it how you said it... and yes i agree with you that the 3 shows were just long nike commercials for their new irons.

youre right, i probably should have been more clear about how i felt that AK was "a joke". i meant it strictly in that his insight on the swing, in the context of that particular show, was sorely lacking. JMHO. :)

that's what i was thinking. but i agree this show was just to promote the VR irons, and ONE's. i really didn't learn anything, even from tiger, and deff not from AK. the 2nd show was a complete waste of time out of my thanksgiving day. i do appreciate the effort from tiger and AK though.

I must agree it was a bad let down. I thought they would get to play a round with Tiger not just one hole but I guess since his surgery he can't.

Also, the show put an emphasis in showing that Tiger is not a "tool" rather he is a down to earth, next door neighbor type guy.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
