During our last round..my buddy and I were behind a guy that had a pretty flat swing so we got to talking about them.

We both said Kutcher was the flattest but then my buddy mentioned that there was another guy who also had a pretty flat swing but couldn't come up with the name. Well a week has gone by and now its bugging the crap out of me to know this name...for no particular reason, lol

Who has a flat swing on tour?  I already guessed a million names that he said wasn't the guy...so help me out to compile a list so this doesn't drive me crazy!

his description of the guy was "he has hair on the sides but is kind of bald on the top"..and thats about all I got to work with.

Oh and he said he's not a "super recognized player" and has won maybe 3 times on tour and is American.

Charlie Hoffman kind of fits that description although I wouldn't say he has a flat swing my any means.

I asked if it was Charlie..he said no...that was at the point I was just throwing out names(don't think he has a flat swing, either)
I guess this kind of thing bugs you guys, too?  I can't stand it when someone goes to tell me something and then they are like "I forgot what it was"..I have to know!
Jonathan Byrd seems like a good candidate.

Sounds like a good description of Matt Kuchar.

How do you define flat? Hand position? Shaft position? Shoulder tilt at A4?

the golfer that caused the conversation had a very flat shaft plane.  Stayed under his shoulder level the entire time.

I don't know which player you're thinking of. But Davis Love III's son, Dru, has a really flat swing. Also senior tour player Bobby Clampett has a very flat swing. In fact, he said in a documentary that he quit the regular tour because his swing was getting flatter and flatter and because of that he couldn't play well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
