I dont know about everyone else but Im still buzzing from Sunday. These 3 guys are going to be fun to watch. Maybe a little less dominance from Tiger this year?

From what I've seen Howell and Mickelson have risen above the rest. Maybe not every tournament but they are playing very close to Tigers level. We saw Howell come up just short to Tiger already. Both are crushing tee shots as long and straighter than Tiger.. Phil's short game speaks for its self. Howell's short game has improved dramatically. And both seem to be putting well but of course not as well as Tiger. Any predictions for the season? Is Tiger's dominance going to remain or will these 2 take over.. or someone else?

Finally someone who's not immediately writting Mickelson off, but I don't know that I'd be so quick to start hopping on Howell III's bandwagon just yet. I hope he proves me wrong but we shall see. It's just that there have been people talking his game up for so long and he has not proven himself worthy of the accolades yet. 2 career wins is not what I would call someone who's ready to challenge Tiger, Phil and company for the big gun on tour reputation yet.

Chuckie was absolutly awesome on Sunday and this will be a major stepping stone for him for the rest of the season. You really dont see anything going wrong with that swing, sooo solid.

Phil is carrying a serious monkey around with his driver. Very negative swing on the 18th in regulation and again in the play off. It really shows just how much Phil relies on the short game. As soon as his very high standard slips even slightly he puts himself behind the pack. You have to love the chiili dip from on the green though, made me larf!!

      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.
