I'd sure like Tiger to be able to do that.  But as long as you swing right handed you're going to stress the L knee some, albeit some swings might stress it less than others.  Just how damaged the L Knee is and how much stress it can take, is the question and I doubt anyone knows the answer today.  But time will tell.

I saw a high-res copy of this photo on another board yesterday. Doesn't appear to be doctored.

this is a real pic but they cut off arjun atwal who was talking with them too. He has him for a coach. Im sure Hunter Mayhans driving stats last year had a role in Tigers decision to pick Foley as well

Tiger may have to wear a heavy brace to support the knee until he decides to go for the surgery to repair his MCL and any other damage he's done to his knee.  My knees are pretty beat up from years of playing football and racquetball.  I'm into long distance running now and they never bother me during or after a run, but if I spend too much time at the range, my right knee will get a little sore.

If looking to copy the swing of a player that makes it look completely effortless and stress-free, one needs to take a look at the move of Steve Elkington....just seems to me that Elk will be playing great, competitive golf late into his 50s with that swing.

just my humble opinion......

TW needs a head coach...and to start bangin HO's again....for real

dude was more than likely stressed about getting caught that he has to much time for golf!! LOL!

I dunno, not much of a stats or technical guy or even know much about the swing in general....so i can't comment on what hes doing right or wrong

and i bet most of us on here don't know on here either, other than repeating whats been heard on TGC or TV in general

I think Bubba is on to something tho

stop thinking about it so much and just play by feel

concentrating too much on stats and mechanics can make you forget about the task at hand

maybe im wrong...... ???? who knows.....

    • 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."
