He never closes off a game.

Hope you don't mind me defending Dustin Johnson. It's not an easy task to close out tournaments. Tiger was the best at it but most others struggle. This year especially was a tough year where a lot of the players went into Sunday with the lead and faltered. Dustin Johnson happened to be in contention more often this year and it was unfortunate that he did not come through in the last round of the majors. I don't know if he really tries to overpower the course, I don't see him swinging out of his shoes like Phil or Bubba who I both like. Not his fault if he's naturally long.

I'll end on a tribute to Padraig:

Even without his comment, I think it's pretty obvious none of us are rooting for the guys we're voting against. Why don't you root for Luke Donald? He seems like a nice guy.

Does he? I wouldn't know since I haven't watch much of him. I think the only time I saw him on TV was when he went on fire at the front 9 of a tournament this year. Luke Donald is my least favorite on the list, could very possibly root for him if he's playing well.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
