JM Singh shows there is more than one way to skin a cat

Funny, because it looks like he is trying to skin a cat with that swing......

I'll throw out Chad Campbell...for some reason, I just love that simple, flat swing of his.

That's to go with the see-thru pants he's so fond of these days

Camillo has one of the worst swings on tour

He does, lol. I do admire him however, in that he can play winning golf with it.

I would have said Ernie Els is the swing I most admire even before his recent resurrection.

Everyone swings so fast nowadays.

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

I like Vijay, Goosen, Sim, Scott and Els.
With regard to snide comments about the swings of Furyk and Villegas, there are no bad swings on tour. Some look pretty, some don't, but they are all good swings. At impact, the club is in perfect position with all of them, and ultimately, that is what matters.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He isn't on Tour per se, but can I nominate Jamie Sadlowski? If I had that length I would be satisfied enough.

    • There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please. 
    • Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).
    • Day 2 (3 May 24) - Played 18 with the Men’s group today….a fun round in which my elderly neighbor was part of the foursome I was in.  
    • You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
    • Did LIV pros cross ‘etiquette’ line at Masters? 3-time major winner has thought Did LIV Golf pros cross an “etiquette” line last month at the Masters? Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington has a thought. I do not mind cursing. I rather see some emotion on the course and honest reactions to bad shots or what not. I didn't catch it being a TON of cursing in this Masters. It was not noticeable.
