Darren Clarke looks like he has slimmed down (if that's him I'm seeing in the white visor on the range).

Yep he sure has.

Drinking game: drink every time a commentator says, "Kikuyu." So annoying lol

LOL.  It would also work (at least at Torrey and Pebble, and I think here too) if the game included "poa annua."

I think the announcers "Think" it makes them sound smart, or something. It is annoying. Oh...and Go D.J.

Thanks for posting Brian Stuard's golf swing. It looks a bit Dufner- esque without the waggle and with a longer backswing. And maybe he's closed at the top instead of square like Dufner? He seems to be another Hogan disciple with that Hogan Stance (left foot really flared out and right foot back and square-- for the driver swing). The finish looks identical to Duffs. I've been watching this guy (Brian Stuard) who seemingly came from out of nowhere  (obscure Oakland University in Michigan and then a brief stint on the web.com tour)  to come in with 4 top 10's in 2013, nearly shoot a 59 (he shot a 62 at the Humana) and already has 3 top 10's in 2014 and a 69 stroke average,  1.2 million dollars and has missed only 2 cuts out of 9 starts.  His name keeps jumping out at me from the leaderboards.

I remember back (in 2006 and 2007?) seeing this obscure guy named Lucas Glover who kept breaking into the top 10 every week and eventually won the US Open in 09, of course, having bested Duval and Barnes. So I'm predicting good things for Brian Stuard as well.  Thanks again for letting me look at this swing and another great example of maintaining that spine angle for most of the swing---except for the finish of course, when the body must eventually give in to gravity and the head must come up with the body and spine straightening. Flexibility- --that which separates the amateur from the world class professional--- allowing him to create perfectly repeating swings and tremendous clubhead speed in excess of 110 mph.

Driver: Taylormade Superfast 2.0.  9.5 Stiff Reax 4.8

Irons: Mizuno MP-64 4 iron. MP-69, 5-PW, DG S-300 Shafts. 

Wedges: Mizuno MP T-11, 50 (gap) and 56 (sand).   

Putter: Odyssey Two Ball putter (circa 2004)

Meh, Bubba Watson, Spieth, Walker, Schwartzel, and Dustin Johnson all have a decent chance to win today. Anything can happen especially with a leader that has NEVER won an event before.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
