When do you see this happening? Also could you see him falling off and stop improving from this point? I played with a guy that was a monday qualifier on a regional PGA even and made the cut and got extremley cocky after that tournament. However I believe Tadds situation as far as not taking any of the money that he "qualified" for to retain his AM status will help keep him focused and driven to become a real force on the professional ranks.

What do all of you think?

Easy there big guy! Lets don't get ahead of ourselves. I mean sure it was exciting, and sure he is definately a talented young golfer but jeez a lot needs to happen before he is ready to take on Tiger.

Yes, I agree with the other previous comments.

The issue is not to become a good player or a champion.

The issue is how to keep your performance at a certain level.

That's why Tiger is outstanding and beyond all other pros' level...

haha nice flap

I asked this question because of Tadds age and the ammount of time it takes for players to hit their "Prime" on the tour. The one thing that amazes me the most about Tiger is how dominant he was on the tour so early in his career before he he matured and got to his "Prime" and who knows if he has even gotten to his prime as of yet. Tiger is such an amazing student of the game and he tries to perfect a motion that really has no perfect solution. The things that he critiques in his own swing are mind baffeling to say the least. I just wonder if he will realize he has over critiqued and over worked it if that ever happens.

not going to lie...but I don't believe this kid will "wow" us in the future like he did a few weeks back. Honestly, it would be like the tour coming to your own course, where you know all the tricks...

sure, he's very talented and the story was good for golf, but we can't judge much about a 16 year old that has played little. After a few years, we can have this discussion again. Unless of course he shows up and wins a tourney this year on tour...I will be eating my words then!!!

      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.
