He's the number two player in the world; if he wants to play in any particular tournament, the organizers will allow him in regardless.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

my prediction for Westwood in 2011? He will drop in rankings quite a bit. he'll be the next Vijay Singh before even reaching the #1 spot.

If I was from the UK and had a chance to be a mulit millionaire in Europe versus the USA, it would be a fairly easy decision. It's not as if winning a boatload of tournaments would win him any respect among the throngs of Phil and Tiger fanboys anyway. What's he got to lose, really?

I dont know but he sure does have an open door right now to dominate the PGA tour. His game is the best its ever been. Im sure its a good decision though, I just dont see it that way right now. Im wonder if all the "european winning the ryder cup spirit" didnt sway him to make this decision.

I don't know why, but I don't really like Westwood. I can't say I hope he drops in the rankings, but I won't be disappointed if he did. Maybe there is a hint of patriotism (that might not be the perfect word) in that feeling though.

In my bag:

It's good for the European Tour to have more top players. If this catches on, perhaps more of the European players choose the Euro Tour instead. Doesn't have the same money and fame, but it is on the right side of the Atlantic.

Yes, it literally is on the right side of the Atlantic.

I agree. not sure what it is... he just seems like the 'flavor of the week' when he plays well. his game just seems to leave me a bit unimpressed. but being #2 in ranking, i'm sure he's doing somethign right.

i think westwood will be the next european to win a major. between the majors and wgc's he will play plenty of times in the US anyway

My money's on McDowell, Donald, or even Casey.

I'd put Westwood over Donald, Casey and McDowell winning a major. Westwood has got a really good game, he's a consistently good player. His tendency has been to lose tournaments on the last stretch, but he's been close for a while now, and playing well in the Ryder Cup give a confidence boost.

Of course we all know that play in the Ryder Cup is proof of nothing. Did you see Martin Kaymer get his a** handed to him on Monday? Do you think Stewart Cink will win his second major next year or in 2012?

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By yungbuck6 ·

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
