It might be good for DJ to move on, get some new scenery around him, though he has bounced back about as well as one could expect after his 2 major debacles last year.

My favorite line from the article: "'They just decided to take a break for awhile,' David Winkle of Hambric Sports Management said in an email."

Funny, I just read about how his caddie's job was totally safe in the most recent issue of Golf Magazine, I believe.

Does the caddie get visitation rights to see the clubs every other weekend?

I read elsewhere that Brown was the one to initiate the idea of splitting....obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but very interesting if true (and I would give Brown props if it really is the case)......

Johnson and Brown spent most of their time together off the course, and Brown is dating the twin sister of Johnson's girlfriend.


Wait a second does Natilie Gulbis have a twin sister?

and I hope Gulbis is DJ new caddy.

Unfortunately, I don't think DJ is dating her.  But that was my first thought too.

Johnson has always denied that the two of them were ever dating.

Ok I was just wishfully thinking haha.  I didn't think she did but I thought they were dating as well.  As you can tell I don't keep up with gossip very well.

Probably for the best. His caddie didn't seem to offer much in the way of advice during his U.S. Open crisis last year.

Personally I think Rory needs a need caddie too. J.P is a nice bloke I'm sure but he doesn't seem very vocal at all, just seems to let him swing away with whatever shot he wants to hit. These are young, relatively inexperienced guys at the end of the day, they need someone more vocal.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
