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.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

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.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
