According to John Cook, Tiger's swing was "clicking" on Tuesday: http://progolftalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/17/woods-friend-john-cook-says-new-swing-clicked-on-monday/

Then Hank Haney commented: http://progolftalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/18/observations-from-hank-haney-on-tiger-woods-progress/

Just thought it would spark an interesting topic.

I heard the same thing from someone in Foley's group on Tuesday before I'd seen any of this John Cook stuff. So I'm inclined to believe it, but...

John Cook said something similar last year before the Masters, so... we'll have to wait and see.

At risk of getting flamed, Twitter sounds lamer and lamer every day. I haven't seen such a blatant cirlcle jerk like this since the Bridgestone ball fitting "round table" ad I saw on The Golf Channel yesterday. I wanted to smash my dad's TV. Anyway, this story reminds me of that commercial.

Clicked on the course or range? His swing has been a work in progress for some time now, he will have times where it feels perfect and times where it doesn't hold up. Tiger saying it clicked won't make me bet large numbers on him, but I do hope he'll get more consistent with his new swing.

Haney didn't have much to say. But you wouldn't expect him to do so. He's probably too busy with the young wife!!

From Cook:

"Ever have one of those perfect range sessions? Apparently, Woods had one when Cook was there.

“He was really feeling something special on Tuesday,” he said. “[J]ust to stop and watch and see the excitement he had on his face and the flight of the golf ball as to what he was explaining to me what was going on in San Diego and Dubai.

“He said it’s way better and way different. And this only happened on Monday and Tuesday he was just feeling it even more.”

Maybe Tiger found something.

But will it go back to the Lost and Found?

That's the question.

I think the easy argument would be "they wouldn't say anything."

I thought he was already "clicking" on the range he just wasn't carrying it over to the course.

Its all moot until he wins something but still interesting to come out and say this I suppose.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
