Well, it’s a sad day to see Funky go over to the Seniors. That means we’re all getting up there. He’ll do good, in fact he’s favored to win the Ford Players Championship this week.

I used to put Funky in a lot of my action, but no more. He should dominate the Seniors for a while.

A lot of people putting there $$ on Ryan Moore and Zach J. at the John Deere. I like Billy Mayfair. He’s starting to look at the Seniors also, not much time to win on the tour.

Michelle Wie is -360 to NOT make the cut. I’d go against that just see her make it. Always go opposite of what I pick and you will become a millionaire overnight.

Rousch Racing is strongly looking at Danica. She’s a heck of a driver but needs good equipment and Letterman isn’t giving it to her. It’s the same in Formula 1, “he who has the gold rules”.

Golf is different, you can have all the money in the world, doesn’t help your game. Golf is the best game in the world,…………. it’s just you and ball.

Have you ever had such a bad golf game that on the last hole you told your caddy you’re going to jump in the lake and drown yourself and he comes back with, “you can’t keep you head down long enough”.

I figured ol Fred Funk will still play his fair share of events on the PGA Tour much like Jay Haas has for the past few years. Haas has finally slowed down now and concentrated mostly on the Champions Tour, but he kept his focus on the PGA Tour a few years after his 50th birthday.

Fred Funk still has enough game to contend on the PGA Tour, and we will see him more often than not.

It was weird, however, to see his name on the leaderboard at the U.S. Senior Open. I had to take a second look just to make sure I saw it correctly.

He is a good guy, and I wish him all the best on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. Funk and Jay Haas will rule the roost for a few years.

    • 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.
