yep, it seems that Phil is already back!

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

I loved seeing Phil's kids run onto the green on the 18th to give Daddy a big hug. That was great.

Well, I've been holding back for quite some time on expressing my opinions of Phil and not on here mostly but from my non Phil suppoter friends who all they can seem to come up with is the word choker. All of whom said after his blowup at the US Open may never win another tournament. First of all, in my opinion, I think Phil has the most God given talent of anyone on tour. How long is the list of players that have 30 tour wins and three majors. After all, he's a right handed golfer who chose to learn to play left-handed. Second, Phil has always played Phil's game. Sure he makes some unorthodox decisions sometimes but that's obviously the way he likes to play and he sticks to it, regardless of what the haters say. Phil also gets criticized for not playing much if at all after the PGA but if you follow him much you know that his family is number one in his life and that alone tells you what kind of man he is. For me, I just can't seem to find a reason not to like the guy. I can give you 45,000,000 reasons a year that says he's doing SOMETHING RIGHT!!! Just my 2 cents!!

    • 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.
    • 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)

    • 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.
