My first post here. Had to say something. I like the picture, might make it my wallpaper. I believe Camillo is a cyclist and I am too, so I like following his game. Nice to see a picture of a guy, with an outstanding physique, instead of always seeing the ladies scantilly clad. Thanks for posting it. Bet there are other ladies on here that don't mind looking. Hey, I may be middle aged, but I'm not ready to be put out to pasture, LOL.

ha - that's a funny picture just begging to be photoshopped. I have to side with the "looks kind of gay" group because well . .it does to me. Not that I think Camillo is (have no idea) nor do I think that was the intention of the photo . . but it is what it is (which is gay).

I disagree with these types of photos for PGA or LPGA. A shirt-off pose to show physique is fine but this sort of staged sillyness just cheapens the athlete, in my opinion. Looks more like a Chippendale's flyer than a sports magazine cover.

And the photoshop job on the head is strangley bad. I'm contacting my lawyers even as I write this because I'm pretty sure that's a photo of me but with Camillo's head pasted on. Hey, I like to play natural - what can I say?

Perhaps I and a select few others are off base here, but let's grow up a bit guys. Sports Illustrated runs these issues to illustrate the peak physical condition that the worlds best athletes are in. Sometimes it's easy to watch them on TV and forget the incredible amount of training and conditioning that it takes to make these guys what they are... and for that, I like the bodies issue. Anyone remember the shot of Dwight Howards back from a few years ago? I felt like an absolute idiot the next time I was in the gym.

As for this photo of Camillo... his spider pose is weird enough, seeing it naked certainly ranks among a short list of things I could die without seeing. Am I a homophobe? Probably not. Can I appreciate how fit Camillo is? Hell yes... just shoot him next time when he's not about to make love to the rough.

Other than Serena Williams, those other pictures of dudes are UGLY. Diana Taurasi? No thank you, that dude can beat me in basketball...that ain't cool, bro!

How did they manage to make Taurasi look attractive? The ESPN pic makes her look downright HOT. Real life, not so much...

Not that she would have any interest in someone like me anyway (not that there's anything wrong with that)...

another pic I wish I had never seen...

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

Wow! That's a Scotty Cameron Black Baby T grip on that putter! It has a normal profile from back to front, but from side to side is a little fatter than you would expect. I had a red one on my Cameron for a couple years (with several wraps of tape underneath) that I took off for a Studio Design grip (Cameron's slimmest).

One of the great photos of the Black Baby T grip of all time, this.

OK. Thanks for that. I just died a little.

Also, a NSFW warning in the title would have been a good idea

i think everyone is a little jealous of the big issue here.. his body. who cares if its "gay". point is the man is ripped, and you would probably do the same pose if you had his body

Not sure how to respond. There are a lot of ripped people (including a crapload of athletes) who wouldn't pose like that. Did everyone who reads putts for a living adopt his goofy 'spiderman" pose?

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
