Couples = The silkiest power swing I ever seen. Saw him in play in person a few times, and the sound of the ball off his clubface would alarm you, because his swing looked like he was just bunting the ball. Especially in the balata ball era.

Nancy Lopez = (although not on tour) --------- Tempo Tempo Tempo

Jim Furyk = Im still trying to figure out how he doesnt shank it every time.

Steve Elkington has done more thinking about -- and messing about with -- his swing than most of us have had hot dinners. I like where he is now after starting to work with Martin Ayers. And man does he murder the turf.

No idea what he's doing with the right hand thought, though?

I really like Dustin Johnson's swing. Even though he's 6'4 and i'm only 6', I have the wing span of a person who is 6'4 and try and emulate what he does. We're both pretty long and ive had trouble finding my swing, but watching helps get a feel for how my swing should be.

Not sure if he's been mentioned but last night I watched an old episode of Playing Lessons from the Pro's with Jeff Maggert.

What a smooth swing! He emphasizes a lot on tempo on that episode and it shows. His swing is extremely smooth and effortless. Not the best distance wise but I really admire the tempo of his swing.

I just finished listening to Charlie Rose interview Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. Rose asked whose swing on the Tour they admired most, and Plummer answered, Tim Clark. He said, without elaborating, that Clark's swing doesn't look like a great swing, but it has all the elements a good swing should have, and he hits the same ball very time. He also mentioned that Tiger likes to play practice rounds with Clark, "Why?" "Because he [Clark] hits it straight."

    • 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. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
