I have always been a huge fan of Duval. Any thoughts on him this week.

It would be great for golf if he could make a comeback. He has made some big changes and his swing looks as good as I have ever seen. I wonder if he has the heart or passion to win again.

Yeah it would be great. I saw a show on CBS about a month ago where Duval and his Dad played golf with two special olympic kids. It was a great show. The kid Duval played with was a soft spoken person and he made the comment that at least Duval would not out talk him. David even gave the kid he played with his M-Frames.

I'd love to see him do well, but when was the last time you saw someone come back from a prolonged slump that was as deep as his?

Wow, and I thought I'm the only dreamer who put him on the list ;)

He showed some signs on the end of the last season and I read an interview with him during the PGA Championship - he said, that he didn't realize before how much did he miss to be "in it". I think big problem last two years was the lack of "willingness to be in it" (is that english???). Even though looking like he was trying to play hard - he was absolutelly not focused on succeeding. I think that's over.

oh boy... Erik, we might have to revise our fantasy picks.
From "some other" messageboard:
" I walked 3 holes with him tuesday at the Buick and he was all over the map. Right and left. On #10 he hits 2 balls off the world right, I mean like 40 yards. Then on 11 he snipes a hook 100 yards left into the canyon and proceeds to say, "have not seen one of those in awhile."

and

"...after watching him hit it poorly in practice on Tuesday, and then reading in the local paper that he only played 5 holes in past two weeks, and then shot a 6 over (on the south course) in yesterday's practice..."
hm... maybe we should give him few more weeks to shake off the rust? ;)

He's cheap. He let me pick a higher-powered #3 player. If he contributes 3 birdies I'll be happy. The thing about players that hit it all over is that they usually score really well on the few holes per round where they find the fairway.

I guess you're not happy

The only problem with it is, that if he doesn't make the cut you're playing with 3 only (or 2) last two rounds... That hurts. I guess I can't make fun of you, since I picked even worse and I'm playing with 3 all 4 rounds !

      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.
