Rory Mcilroy(sp?)

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

that one is cracking me up, he can surely golf his ball, but man, its hard to watch that ugly swing...

I've always liked watching Freddie Couples buttery swing when he's ballstriking

there have been many great suggestions here, but in an effort to be original, I will name a few more.

1) Hale Irwin (fantastic iron player)
2) Vijay Singh
3) Greg Norman...my all time favorite.

Thanks for the post. Payne's swing was a real "classic" and a joy to watch. If we can imitate his smoothness, balance, and rhythm, we will become better players. Payne, Slammin' Sammy Snead, Gene The Machine Littler,Julie Boros and Al Geiberger----the "Smooth Swingers Hall of Fame"

Hi Gang,
Well, he may not be the best known golfer on tour but after watching last weekend at the memorial I'd have to say the for purity in a golf swing, Johnathan Byrd was very impressive. One of the commentaters compared his swing to Hogan and I must say that it looked very close.

Duffy,

Striving every day to be the person my dogs think I am.

I was always partial to Annika's swing. Not always the most classic, as a taller guy I like Cink's follow through for that, but really smooth and simple. I swear it only has like three moving parts to it.

She seemed to take out a lot of the guesswork and complications.

Im a personal fan of Jose Maria Olazabal. Such a powerful rotation of his shoulders, it really fun to watch him swing when he was in his prime.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
