Kyle Thompson....simply a blur to me.

Alvaro Quiros. Back in Spain by now.

(Not meant to be critical. I like everything about him personally, and his length. Just sayin', as they say these days.)

I disagree with Rory having a fast tempo; he has high swing speed for sure, but he doesn't transition or bring the club back as quickly as Price. Very few players with really fast tempos make it to parallel or more, and Rory goes past at times. Price doesn't make it that far, his downswing is well in progress before the club makes it. Rory is solidly a medium tempo.

Hogan has a quick tempo for sure, and some consider Snedeker to be quick as well.

Also disagree with Rory. I think his tempo is something worth emulating.

Zach Johnson I think has the weirdest/fastest change of direction and downswing I've seen. His backswing is normal but than *BAM!* he's already hit the ball when someone like Rory or Ernie Else are still going back lol

    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
