Is the Haney Woods swing so bad?
Is the Harmon Woods swing so bad?
Is the Original Woods swing so bad?

Tiger won with all the swings. So what is his problem with mechanics?

The Tiger swing in college thru '97 was incredible. Rory has the swing I wish I had though.

The "original" Tiger swing was more or less a Harmon swing. He worked with Harmon as a teenager, but he didn't really overhaul his Harmon swing until after he won the '97 Masters.

Technically the Harmon swing involved a lot of translation off the ball, and lot of wrist and hips timing, and while he could do it them he probably couldn't now.

The Haney swing involved being off plane and a lot of mid-swing corrections.

His "problem with mechanics" is the will to get better.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
