grip looks perfect. It was long overdue!

Did you use the tyre drill to make him swing like that?

He liked the tire drill a lot, actually. Showed that to him in the parking lot.

It's not "how golf is played." Therefore, I feel it should be banned.

I played with a gentleman last year who used this grip for all shots driver down to wedge.  I never asked him why.  He didn't hit it any straighter than anyone else.  Looked painfully awkward.

Look's like he's hitting a tennis forehand with a two-hand backhand grip. Seriously what is Mike trying to achieve?

Foley will see it, make a slight modification to it and teach it to Tiger as a new method he dreamed up.

If we can learn anything from this it's that no one is a robot and we shouldn't expect to swing like them.  Golf is awkward.  It just so happens we can get our bodies to do it, amazingly.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

      By DeadMan ·

      A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
