When the sun emerges above the English Channel next Sunday morning, it will appear to be shining the brightest over the British Isles, as Britons and Irishmen will constitute the majority of the names

Something going on between Gmac and Paula Creamer? She wished him luck on twitter a while ago. She wished no one else luck

lol, I know. I think he did the ryder cup or something too. His voice is funny when he says their names





With comments like that, all I can say is Bubba, please come back! All is forgiven. Yes...the Ryder Cup "or something" and........37 Opens.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Wow a little sensitive, I can say he sounds a little funny with his pitch, he gets really high, nothing wrong with that. If it makes you feel any better, I make comments about Americans too,lol

Yes, but if ever there was a case of stating the obvious.....

You guys don't remember him from last year?  I could not get the way he announced "Oosthuizen" out of my head after last year's Open Championship.

EVERY single time I see Louis in any tournament, I repeat his name the same way the announcer did at last year's tournament.  At this point I cannot stop doing it.  In fact I've already said it 4 times while writing this post.  And then I giggle like a schoolgirl after each one.

To be fair, how would he know when you started golfing? And even if he did, how would he know that you only started to watch golf on tv at the same time you started playing it?

I'm digging the pairing with the two Toms. They showed a split screen slow-mo of Watson vs. Lewis, and they have nearly the same takeaway, but it really goes to show you what happens to golf swings with age.

Is Darren Clarke like Europe's Fred Couples?

yikes - the wheels have come off the Gmac bus once again after a good start.        Other notable derailures in the making include Calcavecchia (ouch - quad, double & bogey through 4 holes), Westwood, Kuchar.     Early projection ... Charl appears to have his game face on & is only going to get better

I'm very surprised to see Matt Kuchar +11 and 6th last. I thought he would do well this week.

Over par is going to win if the best they can do in the good conditions is -4

So, Glover's aiming to be the first bearded champion since the days of Old Tom Morris. Overton plays surprising well on the British Isles: he finished T11 at St. Andrews last year, played well at the Ryder Cup, and is right in the thick of things this week. Who cares about G-Mac, when Clarke is representing Northern Ireland with elan. The Mechanic has a peculiar warm-up routine; the cigar stays in his mouth the whole time. Chad Campbell and Anthony Kim both pulled 68s out of thin air. Welcome back, boys; it's been a while. Westwood is currently outside the cut line at 3-over, but he should be safe if he pars out. There's no way the cut stays at +2. Tougher conditions today mean the low round today is only 67, shot by Raphael Jacquelin. Jacquelin's swing is truly a sight to behold.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
