Of years past

Bobby Jones, grew up watching his old golf instruction shows on TV. They were played on the golf channel for a while, early morning on weekends. Just loved his story, and how much of a class act he was.

90's

Greg Norman, i love sharks, shark week was awesome, so as a kid i just put two and two together, how fun a kids brain works ;)

2000's

Anybody but Tiger and Sergio, but i like good stories, so Phil winning his first green jacket, Bubba winning his. I like Rory alot, his swing is just amazing, i wish he would get his head on straight. I like Rickie as well. So I'm rooting for the young guys. Mostly Rory now.

You must be kidding? Watching that guy not only play slow, but all the twitching, fiddling, club spinning, evil eye tilt head look. Drives me insane, I can't watch him, I just can't.

I would rather watch Jim Furyk adjust his pants with each wrist during his preshot routine.

Phil - without question.  Absolutely love watching Phil play.  When the bigger tournaments come around my first thought is "where's lefty?" when I look at the leaderboard.  His mastery of the short game is a thing a beauty.  He'd probably have 10 majors right now if he could putt like he did at this years Open consistently.  His putting has always killed him, along with his "go for it" mentality but lets face it - a couple of those majors he only won because he took some risks head on without fear.  Gotta love it.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

Graeme McDowell. Needless to say I was not very happy last weekend

I really enjoying watching Adam Scott's full swings, I enjoy watching Tiger's all around game, and I like Phil's aggressiveness. Apparently these three might be paired up next weekend?? That's going to be amazing.

But yeah, McDowell just seems like a solid guy and when he gets on fire (rare) it's super fun to watch. He enjoys a good pint of Guinness too.

Lol, I do that ( the Jim furyk adjustment before every shot too.. I just think that he's really odd. He keeps it loose and keeps his body always moving, and I think that works..... yeah he plays a little slower, but I'll admit, I'm not a fast player, with a long pre shot routine.

Me, too. For that same reason. He seems like a cool guy, who just happens to be a great golfer, too. And I get a kick out of his pre-shot routines. I also really like Phil. It's really more of a tie between those two.

    • 39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.
    • Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.
    • First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos. 
    • At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass. 
    • Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
