Someone posted this on Youtube in September of 2012. I had never seen or heard of this before, but in a late night search for celebrity golf swings (don't ask me why I enjoy watching those), I stumbled upon it. I greatly enjoyed it, and based on the Youtube comments, so did the others.

Synopsis: In 2005, an HBO camera crew followed Ray Romano and Kevin James in the days leading up to the fabled beast that is the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, including the tournament itself.

I thought a few other members here would get a kick out of this like I did, so it warranted posting.

Not bad.  Started dying laughing at the 15:00 mark.  Then later when Kevin James calls him a "f**kin idiot" I had another good laugh.

Then, somehow out of nowhere, about 50 minutes in, it started tugging at my heart strings.  That completely surprised me, because it doesn't even seem like a big deal at first.  Then, suddenly, I cared.

I finished watching it the other day. Same goes for me.  I feel where both Ray and Kevin are coming from, even though I've never played in such an event.  They wanted to do their best and wanted to make the cut so badly.  I think all us golfers on this site can relate to this video in some way.

Thanks for posting.

I'll add (on the note of celebrity golf swings):  when I've had a stressful day at work, I'll watch Charles Barkley golf swing montage on my iphone before bed.  Makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Anyone else questioning Kevin James' shot at 29:07?

If he cleared the lake and stopped on the green I'd be really impressed.

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
