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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
