another missed cut this week at the Travelers, unfortunately im not too hopeful on him getting his game back too quickly, he's only really contended once this year with a few MC's and a lot of ~60th place finishes

Recovering from that thumb surgery is proving more difficult for AK than once thought. It's a real shame, because his game was really coming together last spring, just before he went under the knife.

Yeah, I guess all that thumb-usage when popping corks off $300 bottles of Cristal can have its drawbacks...

I'm not to sure if his thumb is the main issue.  Anthony has had a history of partying and drinking.  I think he has to sort out his priorities if he wants to excel on the PGA tour.  There aren't any "give outs" on the tour and you have to work hard and be disciplined if you want to succeed.

No one is saying not to have a good time but I have a feeling he takes it to the maximum.  Which is disappointing because I thought he made an effort to change that part of his life.

AK is *still* hanging out like that?  His partying was news 2 years ago (before the thumb) and he said he was going to tone it down. I wonder if rumor/news of his partying is based on his rep from then or whether there's new stories out there.

I would say the thumb IS the main issue.  It is the only variable that has changed. He was partying before the thumb and doing quite well for himself.

He admitted himself that he didn't know how he did it years past coming to tournaments hug over...Plus, there have been recent stories of his excessive partying.

It all catches up to you eventually...

i encountered AK out about 6 months ago and he was schwasted. he's a super nice fella, so i've got no beef with him, but he is wasting his talent out partying like he does. some friends and i were sitting on the patio at a local bar next to his crew and he bought us all multiple rounds of shots. what can i say though, he's obviously enjoying his life. maybe he just wants to play well enough to live comfortably and do what he does?

That's pretty cool/interesting.  I'm sure he spends a good amount of time partying in the West Village area of downtown Dallas.

Sounds like he's the man to me.  He's young he'll get himself together.  If not he's still going to have a great life.

I've been there!  Really nice place!  I love that whole West Village area (was there a couple of months ago).  LOTS of attractive ladies....

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
