What's really amazing is the virtually identical position at impact between the "normal" swing and the "Happy" swing. That's pure athletic ability!

Wow...That was really amazing. The fact that his position while running and standing still were almost the same is just unbelievable. I guess pro's really have their swing ingrained into their head!

Their mental image of them probably doesn't differ a whole lot from my mental image of me. However, in reality, they can implement it as opposed to me looking like I'm trying to smack bees off my left calf.

Would it be allowed on the golf course? I went to the range today, and I was killing the ball like this, and hitting it straight. It probably went atleast 250 yards, which at 15 is my best driving distance... Not trying to lie about distance, * I think* it went that far... It went 100%, and I mean 100% straight. I would take the laughs just to get the reward if it would be allowed in a tournament... So is it?

No rule against it. Break it out. Let us know how it goes

Sometimes my "real" swing feels like it has that many moving parts. Unfortunately the result is usually teeing up a provisional. Love to see Paddy launch one during a round.

That's really cool. I've seen the little 3 second clip on youtube before but it's way cooler getting to see him do it like that. Gotta love how he was the only one who would do it (or maybe just the first one who said yes).

That clip was great. Really amazing that his swing at the top with both swings was identical.

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
