I have never really had a favorite golfer or golfer I was a fan of but, I have started to grow pretty fond of Paul Casey. I watched a couple interviews with him and he seems like a stand up guy. Any other fans out there? Who are your Favorites?

Lol, its like you read my mind, being a Briton Paul Casey has been one of my (if not my actual) favourite golfer for quite a while!! Seems like a genuinely nice chap, lovely swing, hits the ball a mile, great iron player, and very gracious, fully deserves his world number 3 status!!

Another favourite has to be Adam Scott, he might be struggling at the moment but he is really a class act and has a great swing!

John Daly is my favorite. I like Woody Austin as well. They seem like real people and I kind of relate to that aspect of their appeal. Not to mention a ton of natural talent. I have enjoyed watching Bubba Watson recently as well. And what about Boo? Who doesn't like Boo Weekly?

Fred Funk and Fuzzy Zoeller---they have fun playing golf and show it. Golfers who are too serious, swear on TV, and hurl their clubs are not my favorites. Golf should be entertaining to the fans, as Chi Chi, Lee Trevino, Jimmy Demaret, Doug Sanders, Payne Stewart, and Fred and Fuzzy understood.

John Daly and Boo Weekley were the first two I thought of also. And watching Bubba Watson hit it a mile is fun also.

The way Rocco Mediate handled the US Open interviews etc last year made me like him a lot also

Anthony Kim, i just find him really entertaining when playing and i like how he always goes for everything (even though it is annoying when ive backed him and he then makes double by attacking everything), soon his game will turn around and he'll be back up there challenging!

The late Payne Stewart was my fav for as long as I can remeber. I really like Freddy his on course demener is so great and relaxed, love that swing to. Tiger has to be a fav as well because he is so clutch.

Anthony Kim and Lefty.

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.

Good choice. He was a great Champion, author, gentleman, and sportscaster. I still remember vividly when he was on the ABC team for golf tournaments. His comments were incisive, but never severely critical. His tournament is very special---the #1 fund raiser for years on the PGA Tour. You have to give a guy credit whose main goal in golf was to make enough money to buy a ranch, and then live there with his wife. That is exactly what he did, when he was still in his prime. And he retired from competitive golf. Nelson, Snead, and Hogan were all contemporaries (born in 1912), but their personalities were so very different.

Thanks for the quote. It makes my son and myself feel good that many people are like you and us, and still remember Payne. We all know of some athletes whose popularity fades after their death, which is to be expected. Payne is still popular with his fans, and it is great that the new golf course in Branson, Missouri is named for him. He was born in Springfield, MO, so he is a native son to that state. We would like to go to the Midwest sometime, and play at that course.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
