Favorite Euro player.  I like the big german Kaymer and the Irishman Mcelroy.  I just like the way they handle themselves on the course and there swings.  I've seen the later in person and it was the most impressive move for such a little man.

Favorite american is Phil.  Wish he'd get his head out of his A@@ and play better.  I like his aggression and confidence.  Also saw him in person and very impressive.  Just a different sound than every other player.  Plus, i'm left handed and love the short game.

Euro: Poulter and Jiminez stand out for me, I like when the players are not plain and boring and are not afraid to be out of the norm...

Rocco!!!

I always really like watching Bubba Watson, Tiger, YE Yang, Couples, and JB Holmes since he is a Kentucky Boy....

As a fellow lefty and family man, Phil is my favorite.  I also like Bubba Watson, seems like a really good guy too.

Based on today's golf, if I had to play a round with JB Holmes, one of us wouldn't make it back alive. Bubba Watson is a saint.

    • Day 29 (31 Dec 25) - played a casual year-end 18 with a couple of friends.  
    • Day 457 - 2025-12-31 Stayed after some GEARS Hybrid stuff with my senior girls and got some work in. Also, kicked Tegan's butt at a chipping contest with a wedge that has a lousy toe profile.
    • Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left. 
    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.
