I'll go out on a limb (if it will hold me) and say that John Daly will shoot an 80 or better. I'll even say it will be this week at the pods.

Daly shooting an 80 isn't going out on a limb, it's a guarantee!

As far as choking, I'm going with Lefty. I don't think he's got what it takes. He's certainly had a good career, just like Davis Love, but it's not a great one, and I don't think it's going to be. He makes really bad, bad, mental mistakes. Case in point, the media totally missed the real reason he puked up the open. It wasn't the tee shot onto the tents on 18, it was attempting that fairway wood out of 8" rough a hole or two prior, when he advance the ball one yard. Without that brain fart, he's got another shot of cushion on 18, and he doesn't try to go for it from where his tee shot ended up. As far as ChasIII, he's still unproven. Can't call him a choker when he's not yet a contender, at least not regularly. But, I like the guy a lot. Tons of potential. I'm rootin' for him!

There definitely seems to be a fair amount of choking going on lately on the PGA tour, 2 straight weeks, Boo Weekley, now Heath Slocum, those both should rank up there a little ways. Had Calc ended up going to a playoff and losing he might have had a stranglehold on the Choke of the Year, but he got lucky.

    • 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.
