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.

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.

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
