You're already sounding like a salty ol' veteran.  Lol.  Regarding Player- did it have anything to do with the [S]Playgirl[/S] ESPN spread? a2_wink.gif Dislike Ian Poulter.

Go to who do you hate on tour? This thread was my introduction to this forum...wasn't pretty!

He takes way too long on the greens. Lines it up, backs off, lines it up, backs off, repeat. Then you go out to a public course and see people doing the same thing. I hope they implement a shot clock like your boy Colin Montomerie said.

Ok, I can understand that. Just seems like a nice guy to me. And I doubt most people who take forever on the greens are doing it just because Furyk does. 90% of pros take way too long on the green.

This guy! Come on, seriously his attitude generally annoys me, Jimenez, i think youre stuck in the past!

(no offense to any smokers) i think it should be completely ban at sporting events, give the wrong impression to young kids IMO!

He might well be, but i doubt it, but its terrible promo for brands (On course, etc)

Note (This is my opinion)

I do know this, when I play perfect greens it is much harder for me to pick a spot then when it is a little chewed up and you can say " I want to hit it at this mark".. those guy play on greens with not too many marks on them. I think that would be harder.

Lol. I like the story about Jiminez showing up on the range for some practice post round at the Open with a bottle of red wine and a cigar. The guy knows how to have a good time. :-)

Don't think we need to protect kids from seeing a guy smoke a cigar... Besides, I doubt Jimenez is the guy most of the kids are idolizing.

And they come packaged in a box made from the skin of baby seals.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
