i tell myself to swing like Zach Johnson as one of my many swing thoughts. No one's ever mistaken me for him, though. :)

so do you "double pump" your driver follow-through like her? I think that's a cool stylism she has.

That's great!! HAHA

There's a kid at my club that thinks I swing like Geoff Ogivly. I dunno though. He's the only one that has made a comparison recently.

Wait a minute...you don't count, you are a Pro!!

Me on the other hand...I have been told I play like Crap, is that a Pro??

My swing has never been compared to a pros. My swing is pretty traditional and boring. Pretty much just back and through. There isnt any style in it..lol.

Ok, I've researched it a bit and heres my whole swing:

-Phil Mickelson at setup

-Tiger Woods at impact

-Justin Leonard through impact

-Arnold Palmer Finish

And a little bit of a head dip during the backswing- I forget who does that. If I get any of those guys as a compliment, then I'm all set ;)

I've been told I look like particular professionals. See my signature for an enumeration.

I was once joined by someone for the 18th hole, a reasonably long par-5. I had already hit my tee shot, so the guy joining didn't see that I hit from the white tees. My drive was in the fairway, and I went on to make a tap-in par. He saw my hat and asked if I was a "USGA Pro". I told him no, I just like the hat.

i've been referred to as john daly a couple of times by less than stellar players. i'll hit a drive that isn't even hugely long, maybe 280, and they'll be like, WOW! john daly over here! i've got a bit of a similar build to daly, unfortunately (trying to work that off currently), and i live in arkansas, so i guess that's where it comes from.

thankfully i don't share daly's penchants for drinking and gambling.

I once dated a girl people kept telling me was a pro. Does that count?

As far as the look-a-like: with a little effort I could win a Chevy Chase contest (it couldn't be Brad Pitt or Carey Grant, nooooooooooo.) Last week (just last week), someone said to my wife: "Aren't you the woman married to the guy that looks like Chevy Chase?" Ugh.

My wife's sister has had people ask for her autograph, thinking she was Kim Bassinger.

I got 63 stableforth points on my first competition match at the age of 15. (3 weeks ago). And I'm NOT on the first, but the second golf team although it's still all stableforth.
