Regarding Tiger at the Cialis Western Open……………….

Well, anybody got any salt, pepper and Tabasco and I’ll start eating my words. At least I’ll make them edible.

Tiger did well, and he will probably do well at the Open.

This week we’ve got the John Deere Classic with Michelle Wie vying for a position. Will she make the cut? Odds are she doesn’t but sentiments are on her side.

Since you all know I like Notah, I’ll put up Notah against Wie in driving distance and give Wie 10.5 yards.

If Wie makes the cut, I like her chances of ending up in the top 50.

Another woman making news is Danica Patrick, thinking of going over to the NASCAR side of racing. Hmmmm, ain’t been a women in the Cup Series yet. The good ol boys ain’t gonna like this….

All Men Are Created Equal......Until They Play Golf

I'm trying to look past the John Deere Classic for the British Open next week. However, it always catches my attention whether I like it or not when Michelle Wie plays in a men's tournament. I can't say I cheer against her, but I can't say I want her to make the cut either. Yeah, that was confusing.

I would like to see Zach Johnson win this event and keep his good play going. I also want to see Camilo and Ryan Moore play well and contend. We need those two to be in the thick of things every week.

Agree w/ the last thread. Pulling for Camilo, JB Holmes, Bo Van Pelt, and Bubba Watson. Would like to see a big finish from one or two of these guys.

I will always follow Davis (SI had me pulling for him early in The Open) and Freddie (has been doing well in recent matches) and I will always follow Phil. How could you not?

Other than that, these younger guys catch my attention and I really enjoy watching them play. Some of them have some growing up to do in reguards to course management, but they will come around.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
