my list of favorites in order:

1) can't be any prettier than Fred Couples swing. Hands down, THE most prettiest swing in the universe.

2) Tom Purtzer......how can such a nice swing not win more tournaments??

3) Davis Love.......i heard his swing is the most technically sound

4) Ernie Els ........smooth as a dove

5) Jeff Maggert.....the swing i try to imitate....his my size.

  1. Davis Love III
  2. Ernie Els
  3. Annika Sorenstam

There's my list. Freddie's may be smooth, but that big reroute and all, eh, I'll put the more technically sound swings above those that just look pretty.

Did anyone catch Retief Goosen's swing in X-mo on the ABC coverage? I used to think his swing was right in line with Ernie and Freddie, until I saw that flying left elbow. It's amazing what those cameras can show you about someone's swing.

Well, if you list Ernie, you should also list Retief Goosen. His swing is also very smooth to say the least. I love watching both of those guys swing the golf club.

Fred Couples looks effortless as well, and it hasn't gotten any worse over the years.

I also think Tiger's swing along with Adam Scott's swing are both perfect almost. They aren't near as smooth, but they have perfect rhythym.

And one of my favorites to watch is Zach Johnson just for the fact that he swings 3/4 just like I do. His backswing is so short and compact, and that is alot how I swing the club as well.

A guy named "thrash" isn't supposed to have a permanent 3/4 swing! It's gotta be against some rule!

Hey, my golf swing is definitely a lot smoother than my name. That is for sure. Too bad my short game isn't quite so smooth..

I prefer my own swing. It is so smooth. It's like a cross between an epileptic seizure and someone dry heaving.

HAHAHAHA. That's a good one!

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By Elmer ·

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
