Depends why you admire the swing.

For tempo - Couples/Els/Payne Stewart/David Toms
For textbook/technicality - Justin Rose/Charl Schwartzl
For working the ball - Pavin/Bubba Watson
For doing it my way - Furyk, Jeev M Singh
For lag - Garcia/Lucas Glover

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

Rickie Fowler's because if I tried to swing like that I would either fall over, need a trip to the hospital for some ungodly injury...possibly both...hehe

There are a few I truly admire, though...I like Robert Allenby, Boo Weekley, Luke Donald, Rory, Freddie Couples

Boom Boom without a doubt. He swings so smooth and effortlessly, yet PUNISHES the ball. I'd kill for that swing and length.

John Daly.

Ever seen him on 'playing lessons from the pros?'

The length he takes the club back on every shot, even partial wedges is insane. Then he just varies how hard he hits it dependent on distance.

Such a great player with really bad decisi123o

Very simple and reproducible under pressure (okay, maybe not alfredsson so much).

I admire any professional whose swing appears effortless. The Frenchman,

Have never taken notice of Jacquelins swing before, but sweet mother of all good things, that is a breeze of a swing! Easily one of my favourites now.

There's one on YouTube where he hits a driver in some Asian tournament and you can hear him saying: "Take that, bitch!" in French as the ball zips away. So I guess even smooth swingers like to rip it...

    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
    • 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).
