Tom Watson's because it has served him well and his turn means he can still compete in his 60s.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

The big Easy, Shrek or Luke.

Afraid mine is more like a combination between Furyk and Westwood (the lesser parts combined)

Duff Daddy!

I figured the question was meant for pros that are still alive today.  If it was ANY pro in the history of golf, I would go with Byron Nelson

Forgot about Oosthuizen, his for sure

I would take Zach Johnson or Dufnahhhs.  they have such a clean and efficient approach to hitting the ball, its annoying to see how easy they make it look.

if I just wanted to look cool and get the ladies wet, I would take Rory or Seung yul noh

I think for iron shots, I would love to have Adam Scott's swing. However when it comes to the driver and woods/metals, I would love to have Rory McIlroy's swing. For the short game and putting I like Mickelson's techniques and results. If I were to choose one player's swing for everything though I would love to have Rory McIlroy's just because I can't stand Adam Scott's belly putter and Mickelson is far too long in the backswing for me personally.

I am having an argument with myself between Robert Rock and Charl Swartzel. If I was forced I would go with Rock.

I am happy with my swing.  Not so happy where the ball goes after I make that swing.  So if I am going to dream of something, I want the ball to go where I think that I am aiming.

If I could "graft" something from the pro's into my game, it's the wedge and short game.  Putting / chipping / sand play.  That is really the biggest difference.

I am not saying that with a pro's short game I could be a pro, because I don't hit enough Fairways, greens, etc.  BUT that alone would probably be the biggest improvement on the score card.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Jason Dufner for that tucked right elbow. Awesome Hogan like position coming into the ball. BAM!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I wouldn't want Adam Scotts just simply because I can't STAND the guy.  Absolutely HATE Adam Scott.  For 2 reasons mainly - 1.  THAT PUTTER MY GOD!  2.  He has the BIGGEST douche of a caddy on tour.  Absolutely HATE Steve Williams I want to punch him in the face everytime I see him.

I love Dufners waggle, I wish I could do that like he does, 6 or 7 times and then just boom start the swing, I can't though.  I rest my club on the ground at address for a few seconds.

    • 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.
