do tour pro's even have time to lurk on an internet forum?
i know on myspace/facebook... most real celebs have 'ppl' working for them managing their profiles and the ones that actually use their accts have very few 'friends' and are prvt... just as a means of keeping in touch with 'real life' ppl...
it would be really cool if a tour pro checked in once in a while... or if someone on the forum isnt a pro yet... but becomes a pro...

as for the OP... i have no clue who the best is on the forum... we need a sandtrap tourney with rankings... hahaha... j/k

There are a number of Tour pros on here who pretend not to be because they imagine that they'd be swamped by annoying questions and whatnot if they told you who they were.

I agree with their assessment.

And no, I'm not telling you who. Most just lurk anyway. Some ego surf.

I believe "onthehunt" was a +5.1 or +5.3. I remember that because he started every post with what his handicap was. But if I was a +5 I'd have it tatooed on my forehead!

I suspected that might be true, for this reason: many golf pros are "golf nuts"---they like to watch golf, read about it, and talk about it. Some of them may want to see if their name is mentioned and what is written about them.

I have a question for you: how would they know about this forum? I found out about it from a fellow poster on The Golf Channel Discussion Board who told me this one is much better than TGC. He was right, and I thanked him for letting me know about it. I do not use Google search that often, so I do not know if I put in the words "golf forum" if this website would come up.

wouldn't it be great though if one of the pro golfers on this forum revealed their identity and just spent some time answering some of our questions on the swing tips section :)

It's definitely not me either!

We are ALL driving range pros, AND legends in our own minds.

It's what gets me thru the day sometimes...

It would be cool to have the ear of a touring pro on this forum...

maybe we already do..... who knows?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
