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

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.

In terms of tempo, old school:

Larry Mize
Payne Stewart
David Toms
Steve Elkington

Everyone swings so fast nowadays.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
