Why? Because if you don't understand them, you give the student the wrong "fix."

It's that simple.

Sorry. That's fixed. I meant to choose unlisted (for now).

I liked John Graham's question to him on Twitter.

@chambleebrandel If we assume that iron shots r hit on the way down (ie path going down) why doesn't the ball go into the ground?

So... The solution is?

1) Boycott Golf Channel because they obviously hire know-nothing idiots.

2) Call Aaron Rodgers and give him the correct info.

3) Forget about it because it's no big deal.

Sorry folks, I'll opt for 3).


4) perhaps Brandle will sneakily study what's referred to as the D-Plane and see the light ?

naah, forget it

Yeah, I was wondering about that Chamblee tweet.

Forget Big Break Ireland.

I would much rather watch a "reality" show where he explains himself or tries to prove he is right. That would be more entertaining.

I kinda figured you'd take that approach. But this advice may have done more to harm a golfer's ability to improve more than anything else.

I care about the golf games of others. If someone's out there spreading non-truths - particularly from a platform like Brandel has - then I'm going to take option 4) Spend at least a little of my time trying to counter the misinformation with the correct information.

P.S. You didn't choose 3. You posted.

Harmonious is still being a hater over the correct information. Why?

Agreed Iacas.

I would certainly prefer he take note and maybe research a little and then discuss what he found. His opportunity to help many more golfers than we'll ever see is great.

So frustrating trying to convince someone that what they heard Brandel say on TV is incorrect. Makes our job much harder.

Rogers shot after the help is just perfect.

PS Thanks for all the twitter followers out there.

I was going to post something similar. I don't understand the reply either.

I was thinking of David Graham when I read "John Graham". I'm not joking.

I have to admit to avoiding "new" ball flight laws discussions. Well, at least now that I've proven to myself why what I was doing that worked was working. Now I just keep doing that. So, yeah at some point they're important, but it's not like a player needs to think about them on every shot. They just don't.

Nobody's saying they do, my man.

    • 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.

    • 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.
