Im sure you all heard he's practicing, working on his putting and hopefully putting some of that natural talent to use. Does he win one or more and get his card back.. or slip back in to his old ways? I guess if you're a Daly fan you cross your fingers.

JD has always had good touch with the short game, and hell most weeks when Tiger and Phil aren't entered, just about everyone in the field has a chance to win.... Hopefully he does win one, regain his card, dosen't remarry or fall into old habits and let his natural talents shine instead of waste...

C'mon JD git er done!

Maybe this the wake-up call JD needed, I hope he sticks around for a while. Although with all the exemptions that he will and may get, I'm not worried that he'll disappear.

I just hope he can get into contention a little so instead of just seeing one or two monster, dog-leg-cutting, 400 yd drives and an occasional putt for eagle on the highlight reel, we can watch more of the purest, most complete game since Ben Hogan.

Okay, maybe that was overdoing it.

But yes, I am a JD fan

Well that is the first time I have heard of JD being compared to a leopard or zebra... usually it is buffalo or rhinoceros.

Hehe.

What if JD does not win this year? Will he likely be able to crack the top 125 money list with his limited exemptions simply by "playing well"? How well?

Although I am a fan, I am not sure he has the stuff. I think his best chance is to play often and well anough to get into the top 125. The unfortunate part of JD is his awesome "wasted" natural talent. I love the guy, but I don't think he has the drive or good enough work ethic to be what he can. I do believe he has the ability to be an awesome contender, just not the patience.

He has enough that he'll be able to earn his card. If his showing at the Sony was any indication, he can only improve the more he works on his game. With distractions like his (ex)wife gone. If he makes a few top tens, some top 25's, and has a couple really good showings there is no reason to believe getting his card isn't realistic.

Hi

i agree with Clubswinger21, he should get into the top 125 if he keeps his head screwed on tight-but we know what happens when JD gets a big win, its party time.JD should stop this and keep focused.

If JD doesn't do so well this year he will still get invitations because of the media hysteria that surrounds him and who he is-whether you think this is fair is another matter.

I think JD must hire a new team who can prepare him better in every aspects of the game (marketing, management, mental and physical, etc. etc.)

He must understand that he is no longer just a golf player. He is a brand. Thus, he needs to elevate his game to a different level than in the past.

Younger and more fierce players are coming in the Tour every year. If he wants to compete against them, he really needs to "upgrade" his game (both physical and mental).

Good Luck JD! We love ya!!!!

      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.
