I believe Ricky Fowler needs to make a move, OK I get the colorful youthful clothing, I get the X games, skate boarding and motor cross back ground, but sooner or later he needs to ****or get off the pot.  I am not convinced he has the strength and size to compete  week in and week out. I didn't pick him last year in my golf pools- never even considered him.

In a nut shell he seems to be moving down, fading into mediocrity,rather than moving up. His puma counter part Alexi is putting some wins together and competing.

Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are dropping like stones in the World Golf Rankings. Maybe their time is up, but either one of them could resurrect themselves with a good season and particularly a Major win. Westwood in particular could use a Major boost.

Fowler, Rory, Jason Day, Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson and Luke Donald all need to have big years in 2014.

I like this. All of these have a lot of star attention and did not shine so well in 2013. Rory and Bubba both have major notches on their guns, so if they win a couple of tournaments and contend in the majors, they are good. I would like to see Rickie live up to his potential. I am fine with the wild colors, hate the cap, but it appeals to kids and that is important for the future. I would not be suprised to see Jordan Spieth contend or even win a major in 2014. I don't think he has to in order to stay in the limelight; a couple of wins would be ok if he is at least a factor in the big events. I see him as a steady long term asset, though, based on his performance this year. Maybe not a Tiger, but at least a Phil or Freddie.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
