I don't follow the PGA Tour that much, but to get myself better acquainted with the game I love so much and its Pros, I am entering into a Tour Pool this year. The entry form shows last years earnings, but rather then use that as my guide for selecting the best players, I thought I would solicit the help from you knowledgeable people. Please Pick one player whom you think will earn the most from each group.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Group 1: S. Stricker, P. Mickelson, V. Singh, K. Perry, or J. Furyk

Group 2: Z. Johnson, S. O'hair, G. Ogilvy, L. Clover, or Y.E Yang

Group 4: M. Weir, T. Clark, J. Leonard, L. Donald, or E. Els

Group 5: S. Ames, S. Verplank, A. Kim, R. Allenby, or C. Villegas

Group 6: C. Howell III, C. Campbell, D. Love III, B. Snedeker, or B. Watson

Group 7:
J.B Holmes, S. Garcia, W. Austin, B. Weekley, or K.J Choi

Group 8: A. Cabrera, P. Casey, I. Poulter, H. Stenson, or R. Mcillroy

Group 1: Age has caught up with Vijay, and who knows when it's going to do the same to Perry. It's hard not to go with Mickelson in this group; an average season for him is a career year for even players of Stricker and Furyk's caliber.
Group 2: Neither Glover nor Yang will be able to top their 2009 seasons. Johnson has become a remarkably steady player; choose him over the streaky Ogilvy and the inconsistent O'Hair.
Group 3: Goosen and Harrington are not going to compete in as many PGA Tour events as the other three. Mahan has the most potential to do big things this upcoming season.
Group 4: Not a sexy group. Again, Els will not compete in as many Tour events as the rest. Clark and Donald are two players who find themselves on the leaderboard on Sunday, but haven't won as many tournaments as they probably should (in the U.S., at least). I've already predicted that Donald will win a major next year, and I'm standing by that call.
Group 5: Two young, explosive players looking to prove something after mediocre years versus three older guys doing more or less the same thing they've been doing for over a decade. I like Kim, but Allenby may be the steadier pick.
Group 6: Campbell has the best standing in the World Golf Rankings (62rd) of the group. That's not saying much, but it's the best rubric I can muster out of five players coming off of unremarkable years.
Group 7: Garcia's got a lot to prove in 2010. The other four players are going to play in more Tour events than him, but I don't think that's going to matter in the end.
Group 8: The Part-Timers Club. I can't stress this enough: McIlroy, McIlroy, McIlroy.
Group 9: I'm still not sold on Scott, and it's still not clear whether Immelman is back from his wrist injuries. Appleby is the safe choice.
Champions Tour: Lehman and Couples may spend more time on the regular tour next year. Langer is the dominant player on the senior circuit.
LPGA Group 1: As good as Shin was in 2009, Asian players tend to burn out after big years in the States. I don't want to go near Ochoa after her year, either. Creamer looked much better in the second half of the year.
LPGA Group 2: For everyone's sake, it had better be Wie.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Group 1: P. Mickelson - Have to pick him since he is a sure bet to win multiple tournaments.

Group 2: Z. Johnson - He is a very consistent player.

Group 3: H. Mahan - I am betting that he will have a breakout season.

Group 4: T. Clark - Not sure if he will have a breakthrough victory, but he will have a lot of top 10s.

Group 5: A. Kim - Betting on his potential here.

Group 6: C. Campbell - Not really all that confident in him, but I think he is the best player in this group.

Group 7: S. Garcia - The best player in this group.

Group 8: R. Mcillroy - This kid is amazing, I think he will win a major pretty soon, watch out.

Group 9: A. Scott - Not very confident in him, but he is still better than others in this group.

Goup 10 (Champions): F. Couples - He can still finish in the top 10s in some tournaments.

Group 11(LPGA): L. Ochoa - Betting that she will bounce back.

Group 12(LPGA): M. Wie - I am from Hawaii, so I will pick Wie here.

    • Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.
    • Gooch ended up getting the invite...
    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
