Actually to me Watson has always seemed like a holier than thou prick. Like his shit don't stink.

I kinda agree...and he used to be a drunk that also supposedly dabbled in the Booger sugar back in the day, which makes him even less wholesome than he makes himself out to be. I like him and always felt he was one of the true greats but I don't always buy his goody two shoes persona he has been putting on lately. Though I do commend him for regaining his sobriety.

Great question.  Freddy is the coolest guy, with a sweet swing.  Such a shame his back prevented him from winning more.

I guess I like guys who play the game well with good humour.

I really like Jonathan Vegas.  What a nice guy he seems to be and he has the game. Hopefully he'll start playing more consistently to back up that win he got last year.

Luke Donald has managed to suffer through being world number one with no majors to his credit (read media monkey on his back)  quite well.  It looks as though that Rory (or Westwood) will supplant him as No. 1, but I get the feeling Donald will not get ruffled by this.  He's well spoken, humble and just goes about the business of playing solid golf without doing or saying anything stupid.

Ernie Els is another guy I thought has handled himself well, and he isn't shy about saying what he thinks.

Graeme MacDowell, Paddy and Darren Clarke all seem like genuine guys.

I guess my answer is, I like Irish golfers!  LOL!

Pretty hard not to like Freddy. Worst thing is, mere mortals like us can try to swing like him til the cows come home to roost, or whatever they say, and will probably have little to no results. It's so smooth and effortless looking, it's a joy to watch him swing. If he was playing a Champions tour event, I might spend a Friday or Saturday watching that instead of a PGA event, just because of Fred Couples. He's the man!

    • 70° today and sunny!  Use your imagination! Leslie Park #8 or #17!   
    • Yeap, tried a couple times but always ended with back pain after a month so I abandoned that route and focused on improving my swing to be more efficient in order to gain speed.  Yes, this is what I can't figure out. When I go after it with irons I can increase club speed (more ball speed), but with driver I cannot drive it faster than my normal on tournament speed.    In fact, changed from 716 AP1 to Callaway APEX pro 2023. The new ones are slightly softer in loft and a little heavier in shaft.  
    • Totally, but keeping the ball in line i will keep you a LOT more out of trouble.    I agree! but still, in average greens are more depth than wide so what you are showing are less normal in golf courses. Take the time and you will see that even on your own home course you have a lot more greens that have more depth than width.  So having less dispersion sideways is better than in depth just because of how greens are made in general.  Also average greens generally have more danger sideways than directionally so makes it even more important to keep it straight. Perception of reality is on thing, numbers that backup your ideas is another. 
    • I'm in a bit of a transition, at my home course I play the Blue tees most of the time, the regular men's tees.  But many weekdays I play with a group of retired players, and play the "senior" tees, close to 600 yards shorter.  I've set up two lines in the "home" compilation page, one for the regular tees, and one for the senior tees.
    • Stuck in Texas without my clubs. 😕
