Put all the great golfers of the past 30 years in one field and I would be absolutely torn between Phil Mickelson and Freddy Couples, so those two have to be included........

Moe Norman just has to be on my list just from a pure golfing genius perspective....

Hogan -- he's the first golfer I heard about from my relatives who golf, the first thing I did when I started was read Five Lessons, he's got a good mystique about him, and I bought myself a complete

Freddie Freddie. Couples that is. What I would give to have that swing.

Typical mindless Phil lover.  There isn't a phonier professional athlete, let alone tour pro in the entire country.  It's shocking people can't see right through his utterly manufactured "gee golly" b

I'd have to go with Tiger. When he had it rolling, he had everything.  Putting, short game, and mental game. He played the game with such ferocity that it was impossible not to be spellbound by his performances.

I believe I have answered this before on this site, and it's still Tommy Watson. I just like the guy, and his attitude. Yeah like everyone else there has been some negative issues, but I have also had the pleasure of a few extended conversations with him. Some were not even golf related. Golf wise, he has won his share of golf majors, and other tournaments. 

My distant second would be John Daly. Again, he's a pro golfer I have been able to converse with. 

As for the last 15 or so years, I dont have any new favorites. Although I witnessed some great golf being played, there has also been a lot of poor attitudes imo.

Joe Anthony. Not only could he hit the ball he was also a hit with the ladies. His "CADDY" Harvey Miller Jr really made sure he stayed on top ofhis game!  ?

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
