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.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
