Who has the most best, beautiful, and ugliest swing on the Tour?

[Ogg]

Best Swing : Ernie Els (by far)
Beautiful : Steve Elkington
Ugly: Greg Norman - looks like a cross between Elaine dancing on Seinfeld and a robot.

Anyone who bothers to endure the early rounds of the AT&T; will find plenty of ugly swings along with the antics of celebrity golf buffons.

I will definately be "enduring" the early rounds... I love watching the Pro Ams. I used to volunteer at the Pebble Beach Pro Am while I was stationed in Monterey - good times. Good times.


I have to agree with Ogg... Ernie Els has such a smooth effortless swing - if I could emulate one pro's swing, it would be his.

I lived in Monterey for 14 years and the corp. I worked for was a sponsor of the AT&T; so I worked the ropes a lot of times. The fact that I was becoming very enthusiastic about golf at the time aided my distaste for the way celebrities treat the event and disrespect the game.

At the same tiime, I know that's why they are there and how much money they bring in, so I should probably temper my comments a bit. It's like anything alse; a handful of jerks (Bill Murray, Kevin James stand out) can ruin it for many.

Beautiful swings: Adam Scott, CHIII and Jason Gore.
Rivaling Barkley for horror is the obese slob Chris Berman who not only butchers a golf course, but makes an absolute mockery of the time he spends in the booth at the US Open by way of his ESPN contract.

best - gotta be tiger. he can hit it any way you want it. low, high, cut, draw - his swing allows him to produce whatever result is needed.

beautiful - fred funk. i love watching him play. he's got such great balance and tempo. really effortless, and it's a compact, controlled move.

ugly - alan doyle. no points for style, almost painful to watch. but the man can golf his ass off, so i give him respect where it due.
