What happened to CHIII? seems like not so long ago he was getting top tens and victories and in the news - now no where.

Always thought his swing was awesome. loads of speed.

I remember a good while ago he was in an interview talking about how he's just trying to play golf and stop getting caught up in the technical aspect of the game so much.

Such a shame as he he's such a talent, Howell was always just greatness for distance considering his body size

He's probably still with David Leadbetter... 'nuff said.

Great point. If I remember correctly, he's been with DL since a young teenager. I wonder how much longer.

David Leadbetter's website has instructions on how to hit a draw and a fade by aiming the clubface at the target and closing or opening your stance....hmmm. Good way for your ball to start at the target and curve away from it.

I have been a huge fan of his since getting to walk inside the ropes with him during a practice round at the 2001 US Open. At that time he was just coming off of his great amateur career and looked as if he would make a huge impact on tour. One of the original "young guns". I'm glad he has made a good career for himself but I'd love to see him find "it" and make a nice run.

      -9 Day One at Arnold Palmer

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      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.
