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.

      Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
