Sorry to hear that. He hasn't really been a factor on tour for a few years now, but he was at one time considered one of the best in the world, at least to me. Here's to hoping he doesn't have to hang up his spikes.

Driver: Cobra S2 9.5 Fubuki 73 Stiff | Wood: Titleist 909H 17 Aldila Voodoo Stiff | Irons: Titleist ZB 3-5, ZM 6-PW DG S300 | Wedges: Titleist Vokey SMTC 50.08, 54.11, 60.04 DG S200 | Putter: Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5 33" | Ball: Titleist Pro V1x


His career was over the day after his 2001 Honda Classic win.

His greatest contribution to the game may be introducing Elin to Tiger.

What a shame that would be - a character indeed. I remember watching him (from up close) a couple years ago carefully practice - maybe 10 or even 15 strokes - and then successfully pull off a challenging little stab wedge shot from thick kikuyu, on a steep slope well below the 5th green (i.e. blind) on Torrey Pines South. Sometimes the stab is your best bet - I would have chunked it for sure. He made it look routine.

I never heard of him until the Frogger commercials. His caddy seems to be a tool, him dissing Tiger is a tool thing to do. So I won't miss him or the caddy that rode in on him.

My Dad has had that surgery and it didn't affect his game at all. Of course he is not a pro so it may affect JP more with his swing. He may be worring to much at this point....he could very likely come back from this.

Well unless you happen to know which vertebrae, and how many vertebrae, he is having fused I would suggest you are making a huge assumption.

as for his "dissing" of Tiger,, I thought he was spot on.

No assumption...I just said it could be possable to come back. Yes...true it depends a lot on how bad things are.

Agree with his dissing Tiger. After all he was very good friends with Eland long before he interduced her to Tiger. He is in a better spot to dis Tiger than anyone in my book.

Agreed. He took it somewhat personally, which is understandable. I guess anyone who disses the great TW is a tool in some people's books - no surprise there. I would suggest a candid discussion with Parnevik as part of Tiger's rehabilitation programme. Who knows, perhaps it will happen someday.

He was like Nick Price in swing tempo. I think someone else has to claim the fastest tempo on tour now.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Excellent point. The anti-Ernie.

hmmm, there's a young guy out there now with a pretty fast action but for the life of me I forget his name. Anyone help me with this?

[note: I might be thinking of the European tour. When you get to my age ......]

A Tiger dating an Eland....sort of like the lion laying down with the lamb?

I enjoyed watching him in the Ryder Cup several years ago. He was a formidable opponent! Come to think of it, that was several Ryder Cups ago!

    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
