Nice to see him come in comfortably under the cut line. 71/69 are both very decent scores at Riviera.

I hope he does well on the weekend. It's a course he knows well.

It´s been loooooong since i last heard something about him.

He's healthy. He is getting back into golf and his swing is looking good. Working with his teacher that he was successful with from college - not Puggy. He'll get better but he's happy regardless.

I always root for DD, but I'm afraid he has gone the same route as Chip Beck and Ian Baker Finch.

Sadly, I agree with you. We have always rooted for DD since his family is from Schenectady, NY, and his grandfather, "Hap" Duval was a lifetime member of the PGA. His Dad, Bob, grew up in Schectady, and played with and against Ron Philo in their junior golf days (Ron is the father of Laura Diaz, the LPGA star, and ran a driving range in Scotia). My son and I watched David play at the Seven Oaks Golf Course at Colgate University when he was on the Georgia Tech team and the NCAA Eastern Regionals were held there. DD did well, and the team won, but Jimmy Johnson was the medalist for the team in that event. David has been quoted as saying that he likes "being a country club golfer"---playing in a cart, play 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours and then go home. He has lost his desire----"the fire in the belly".

If this is true he should give up his spot on the tour to a younger guy who needs the money and wants to excel on tour.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

I couldn't agree more. Sounds like he'll likely be long gone after this year, so he'll have all that "country club" golf he wants.

I agree with you. Right now, David is trying to "hang in there". He is financially well off, I believe, so he is not doing it for the money to support his family.

Why should he... he's earned the right to be there, and this is his last exemption. If he didn't want to be out there, I doubt he would be using the exemption. If he has lost the "fire in his belly", then he will find out by the end of the season.

As for DD, I'm glad that he's very happy and has a good life at home, regardless of how he is playing.

Cheers, Allan

It's always interesting to me to look at his score cards (since you never actually see him on televised coverage). He seems to play 13 or 14 holes very well and goes AWOL on the remainder.

Just like me! Maybe when he figures it out, I will too.

There was a decent interview with him on the Golf Channel last night... He said the biggest key for him was regaining his confidence.

He tees off today at 12:51PM at Innisbrook. I hope he plays well.

He didn't play well on Friday. Blew up on the back and missed the cut. He started off 1 over - went down and then up to 6 over.

He made _some_ pretty impressive shots, though.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
