This week the tour stops in Memphis,Tennessee for the St Jude Classic. Yet again there is another pretty strong field here this week (but you'd expect that the week before a major). phil's back and raring to go but so are people like garcia, stenson, harrington, goosen, clark, toms and leonard. this week im gunning for camilo as he has got a little run of made cuts going and when his game is on, it is on! who's gonna win this week?

I really do hope Phil does decent just for sentimental reasons but I like Stenson this week. He's obviously a great player, just to do what he did at the Players against the best field and a very tough course...I'm sure he'll have his game face on with only a week before the US open. I'll be looking for him on the first page come Sunday. I'd also like to think David Toms will be up there in contention on the weekend. He won this event in '03 and '04, add in 6 top 10s and he's looking solid for this week.

I hope Phil does well to get prepared for Bethpage. He likes to play the week before a Major, and it seems to be a good plan for him. By the way, the LPGA is holding a Major this week---the LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock, a Pete Dye course in Maryland. That should be interesting, and I hope an American wins---Paula or Natalie or Cristie, or even the Great Gray Hair---Juli Inkster.

I admire this tournament, a good cause. Have friends who have won it, and the Texas-Tennesse connection is real -- good guys. Few years ago, I got to play in a Texas-Tennesse Ryder Cup match against the Tennesse guys -- great fun.

I know I'm going to watch, but I have more of an 'eh' attitude. The US Open is the next week and it will be my first US Open that I can watch and appreciate. Before a year or two ago it was one of those things where I would catch highlights of it or give it an 'oh, ok its a pretty big golf tournament' if it happened to be on where I was.
Now I just can't wait for it to come on. I tell my other friends about it and they think I've lost my mind.
So I am excited for this tournament to be over and open week to start!

I think the St Jude will be good...I think Phil might revamp his course management a little and play smarter...just my hunch. I think he always tries to bomb the driver, seems like he swings out of his shoes (and when he does he smokes it right up there with JB, D. Johnson and Bubba) but it gets him into more trouble when he doesn't hit it on the screws.

Of course the US Open is "holy week" at my house

Phil just might do that in gearing up for the open. I am glad to hear he's back to play in it. I hope he plays really well.

I agree with you. The US Open will be super is we can see Phil and Tiger battle it out.

I see Jose Maria Olazabal is doing well. That is great, and I wish him well. While Seve always had intensity, Jose Maria was the cool dude who partnered well with the Hot Head during the Ryder Cup matches. I thought he was an old guy, but he was born in 1966, so he is only 43 years old---a "youngster".

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
