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."

      My Favorite Putts

      By jsgolfer ·

      I too, like @GolfLug, remember great wedge, iron shots, or my missed putts, more than my made putts. My most memorable recently, would be: #17 Old Course St. Andrews (last year) I had been putting awful all day (I started 3 putt, 4 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt), but found a putting stroke on the back 9 and was 1 under on the back going into 16 and of course I 3-putted it for a bogey. Got to 17 and my playing partner just hit it into the hotel, so I went a little more left and decided to not try and hit it over the hotel.  And as soon as my ball was in the air, I heard one of the other caddies do the chicken noise.  LOL My shot was a little more left than I wanted, about 185 yards, I hit a 6-iron and it was drawing right at the flag.  The pin was just to the right of he bunker and towards the front of the green. My ball hit short (and just missed going into said bunker) and stopped about 15 feet left of the hole. Had a little left to right break and as soon as I hit it, I knew it was in.  Birdie on the road hole, looked at the caddie and said not bad for a Chicken.  Parred 18 (missed 10 foot birdie putt) for a 35 on the back 9 at the Old Course. #18 Springfield G&CC Last year while playing in our season long match play event, my partner and I get the 18th hole needing to win the match to move on into the knockout round.  We are tied going into 18.  A tie and we lose on overall points by .5.  Our teaching pro is on the other team (very good golfer), so we were pretty sure we needed a birdie to have a chance to win the match, I hit on of the best drives I hit all day and had about 135 yards to the pin, but it was in a place where you didn't really want to be long.  So I hit a PW and it landed just short of the flag but released about 12 feet past the hole, so have a devilish putt coming back down the hill.  Our competitors were away and the pro missed his birdie putt by inches, I thought it was in when he hit it.  So after reading the putt, which probably had a 2 cup left to right break, I made the putt to win the match.   #15 Springfield G&CC A few years back, was playing in the first round of the Club Championship (against the previous years runner-up) and my putter was balky all day.  Got to the 15 hole, 2nd Par 5 on back, and was 3-down with 4 to play.  We both hit good drives, both hit good second shots and we both hit decent 3rd shots.  I was about 15 feet and he was just a hair longer.  He missed his putt, I had another slider putt down the hill, with about a foot of right to left break and made the putt.  I birded the next hole, to go 1 down, but not a memorable putt as I only needed a bogey to beat him on that hole, he had all kinds of issues going on.  Lost on 17, as he birdied it, right after I missed mine to lose 2&1.

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      By billchao ·

      Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.
