The short short sleeve looks like something that shrunk up big time in the dryer. I know Tiger looks ok in them but he is in great shape, Phil is not. Better than he used to be, but not a Tiger body. He just looks silly in the short short sleeves to me. BTW, he is stinking it up at the FBR today.

Phil doesn't look comfortable or healthy in his body. His "barely slide a credit card under his feet" leap at the Masters a few years back reflects his overall poor conditioning.

I don't understand why a lot of people seem to single Mickelson out for his "poor" conditioning? The guy looks in pretty decent shape to me compared to the average person. No he's not ripped, and no he isn't carrying a lot of muscle on his frame, but neither do most of the other players on tour. Tiger and Villegas are the rare exception on tour. More guys on tour would do well to improve their conditioning but the truth is golf isn't a sport that requires outstanding conditioning to play it well.

That was probably true ten years ago, but conditioning is key to any perennial winner on tour now. You don't see too many Craig Stadlers anymore...

Well, Phil may be the next "Walrus". Maybe his too tight shirt was messing up his swing. He sucked yesterday (Thursday) and all he could do is SMILE!! Wassup with that!?!?!?

I like the guy. I hope he does well. I want him to challenge Tiger. I know we all don't have the same body we had years ago, but Phil seems to be on a steady decline, and if he wants to continue not showing up at golf tournament at the beginning of the year, he is gonna have to get on the stick!

i think he's carrying more muscle than it appears, it's just sheathed in a fairly solid layer of fat. he's trying to portray a more athletic figure, nut I'm not sure it's working.

I bet he weighs a good 30lbs over his late 1990's weight. Of course this doesn't have anything to do with his weight, but his driving is awful. He hit 3/14 fairways the first round and 5/14 in the second of the FBR. That is pitiful. TGC blames it on him not having a new driver approved by the USGA. That is even more hilarious. You can stick a fork in him when the 'V' groves come back. Next year, I think.

He's about 50lbs higher than his mid nineties weight. I watched a mid 90s Shell's wonderful world of golf. He was thin, collar up, looking athletic. He is a great talent. I just wished he took his fitness more seriously. He is a professional athlete. To be the world's best you have to be in great shape these day. Tiger, Singh, and Duval have been number one for the past decade. When Duval lost his fitness due to injury, he hasn't been the same.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
