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?

S83 Mid-size Tour bag
910D2 9.5º Aldila RIP Stiff C.3 setting
909F2 15.5º Diamana Stiff
909F3 18º Aldila VooDoo Stiff
909h 19º Diamana StiffAP2 4 iron  CB 710 5-PW KBS Tour stiff50º(bent to 52º) 56º54 60ºStudio select Newport 2 Pro V1


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".

    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
