That's all I can think of right now. If you have any more, don't be afraid to post them.

How about "The man that almost beat Y.E. Yang".

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

"Pouty" or "Mr. Crankypants"?

When he won the PGA in 2002, he tried to dance rather than the conventional fist pump.

Thanks. I had a feeling that's what it involved. I haven't seen it, but I have a pretty good imagination. Must have been pretty goofy.

He was doing a dance inspired by something from Caddyshack. The gopher I think, but I never saw the movie. I tried but it was just too stupid.

Take it back.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

      That answers my question.  That feels more natural to me. I'll work on that. Thanks

      Complex question. Good players begin pushing forward around P2. Visibly around P3. They're well on their way forward at P4.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      Still plugging away with the teacher.  I do have a question after working on some drills last night. This is something I should know already but for some reason, I have gotten myself confused. It deals with weight transfer on the downswing. At what point, should that take place?  Should it be early (prior to reaching A4) ?  I ask because in one of my drills  I get to A4, I feel the weight transfer AS my arms drop, and then go.  Now this may be totally normal, but I "feel" like this gets me in a weird timing position and causes me to try and do too much at once.
