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.

Since there was not a past, or current  specs in the question, I would have to go with Moe Norman as my first choice. Even the PGA back then recognized it as a viable swing. The fact that no one (probably even Moe him self) could not teach it correctly was the swings liability.

Today, I would probably go with Tommy Watson's swing. A long, successful career, and little, if any back issues sounds like a pretty good, long term swing to me.  I thought Annika Sorrenstam had a pretty easy swing too. I'd also throw that young lady Ochoa in the mix. Easiest swing I ever saw for the short time she competed.

I like Moe Norman also. Tiger did too! Lasted 4 decades as ball striker. Two Master appearances in his early twenties.

Probably Ben Hogan's swing - or Jack's. Both got a lot of their games. But Adam Scott is  good choice - I recall when he, Charles Howell and TW all had very similar swings years ago - but Adam seemed to keep his consistent over the years. Thank goodness he didn't meet up with SeanFoleyHankHaney to botch things up for him.

Yeah stupid Tiger. How dare he win all those majors with Haney while Adam Scott took forever to win ONE-and how dare he win almost as many times the PGA Tour in two years with Sean Foley than Adam Scott has won his entire career. Stupid stupid Tiger. Rick-Can you make a post without talking about Tiger? Inquiring minds want to know. ---- I will take my swing by the way because I know how it works and I do pretty good with it.

I forget what I previously wrote, but now I'm of the opinion, any. ANY of them is fine by me. They're all pretty darn good.

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
