I must I am not a big fan of his game but I would be happy to see him win a few tournaments and even one major (why not?!?)...
It's certainly not the new golf genius he was supposed to be when he came on tour but it's sad to see him play like this...

Seriously, does he

Saw the Title of this post and just new it had to be a british post. But in his defence, if you hit it like that and couldn't win how would you feel?

I know it can't feel good, knowing you could win it at any time, but it's the fact he's being like that, that's losing the competitions.

A little off subject here. How is it that Sergio is ranked 23 in the world with how he has been playing for over a year. Kenny Perry is 21 and has played way better than Sergio for the last year and a half. I don't know how the rankings work, but it seems that many players are to high or low on the rankings compair to how they've play over the last year. Anyone have any info on this?

Basically the ranking system works by averaging the amount of ranking points a player has gained per tournament over the previous 2 years. There is a system in place that rewards current form more but it still takes 2 years into consideration so that's why you'll get senarios like the one you mentioned.

You would think that a year would be a better judgment for rankings. Even at two years I still don't see how Sergio is ranked so high. The Players Champ. two years ago is the last tournament he has won and he's missed many cuts the last two years. Thanks for the info!

Ive been down on myself before, so i know where Sergio is. You just mentally paralyze yourself. I hope he finds his way through it.

He can be an entertaining player to watch, so I hope he gets his game together.

First of all, I think he needs to be happier and love playing golf again. He doesn't look happy out there. Also, forget about his putting, he isn't even striking the ball well. He can't win if his ball striking doesn't get better.

I think he needs to go back to the belly putter that gave him so much success back in ’07.

His putting is not the biggest problem right now.

Why is it that lately I find it fascinating to watch him. You are right, he rarely smiles or looks like he's really having a good time. When he hits it good, or when he hits it bad, I still love watching him.

Plus he makes comments like me:

"Only straight drive I hit all day goes right in the bunker".... yup...

I remember thinking "uh oh" when I watched the post-round press conference after he lost the British Open to Harrington when he said that he has to beat more than just the players, like he also has to beat the universe or destiny or the golfing gods or whatever.
I'm sure we all understand what he is saying, because it does feel like that sometimes, but it simply is not the case, and he needs to be pulled aside and told that that attitude is BS. Does he have anyone around him who would risk getting fired and do it? I know Tiger doesn't.

"That's Golf!"

Classic Sergio, that's his way of saying, "I got screwed".

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory.

      Enchanting Golf Traditions (From Around the Globe)

      By Nave ·

      Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.

      It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.
