Is it just me or does David Duval have a weird body?

[Dave H]

I always think his legs look really short. Then, with the added weight...yes, a penguin is the right description.

Duval should be ashamed. I don't care how content he is with his family/personal life, there's no excuse to let yourself go like that. It's certainly not going to help his golf game. Same goes for Tim Herron, Kevin Stadler, and John Daly just to name a few. These guys don't take care of themselves, and it's no coincidence they'll never win again on tour.

He does look a bit weird, yeah. There are lots of short, plump people, but they are usually proportionally normal all the way. Duval got some kind of reverse hourglass shape.

[sean_miller]

I made a comment on his very large shirt, because even though Duval is hefty, his shirt still looks too big.

He is who he is and by the way, I suspect there are more guys on this forum who look like David Duval mid swing (minus the solid positions) than Dustin Johnson any day of the week.

[Chas]

Seconded.

[FHopper]

You guys must never talk to women, the dude is long waisted with a very short inseam. That gives you the proportions of a dwarf, on a regular height person it is a very odd look. ... and gives him a torso rotation ability we would all like to have.

huh?  so dwarves can rotate better than we can?  how on earth would you know that?

[f5joe]

Tough crowd here!  I'd hate for you guys to critic my bod.

6'-3", 230 lbs., 38" waist, 32" inseam, 46" chest ........... and not so good looking.

Yeah, Craig Stadler sucked.

David should get shirts that fit, and pants that flatter. It would help. Even though he hasn't won in a long time, he can get his pants tailored. He's pulling in six figures. I'm in the mid 5's, and I get my slacks altered. I'm sayin...

All that being said, the last time I saw David's body, it looked fine. But, in that soft light....who knows?

[bcgolf]

Is it just me, or is it weird you notice all these things about a man's body ?  ;-)

[pusher]

This thread is really silly.

[alo1984]

I got a good laugh reading this thread.  I was glad to see the Penguin do well at The Northern.

[Old1964]

Short legs - long torso...some platform golf shoes should do the trick.

Or, better yet, one more win!

A la John Daly. I'll never forget his response to an Australian on-course commentators question.... "Whenever I drink a bottle of water, I make bogey"

Hilarious.

But that was before his lap-band surgery...
