I'll put this here, instead of the US Open thread

Combine this with his 3 wood on 18 and Nike can reintroduce the "I am Tiger Woods" ad campaign

That's one case where the crowd not being able to get close to the player is good. Not sure which is worse. Getting hit by bat and bat shards or a wedge and I don't want to know firsthand.

Horse$hit. He knows puppy would miss the cut in his next ten events anyway. The ACL surgery is a cover-up for crappy play and gives him an excuse to WD.

Our yorkie had to have the same surgery on both hind knees but our vet suggested that we do one at a time so the dog could still walk.  I'm surprised he's doing both at same time.

Maybe Dr. Galea will do some PRP for the pooch.

My Beagle had both done, one at a time.  He was able to walk pretty quickly. They use the equivalent of fishing line instead of tissue.

Sure about that?

It was not there on the tee shots I saw a minute ago. I rewound it a few times to be sure. I am not going to trouble to post pics with my phone though.

It's just about always been there, to varying degrees. He made swings in winning the U.S. Open by 15 where it was more pronounced than others.

It's an issue but nowhere near the issue people often make it out to be, IMO. He's always done it. Even when having arguably the greatest stretch of golf in history.

I just saw another tee shot and it is there, slightly but nothing like I have seen recently.

Okay. Maybe you should teach him next. What do you want me to say here? :-)

He's always dipped. To varying amounts over time, but sometimes that "time" is "from one swing to another in the very same round."

At the rate it's going, I don't think could make things worse

    • Day 14, April 22.  This morning, before going to work, I took the time to hit two dozen balls (indoors, off the mat, into the net), all with a 6-iron.  As before, this was focused on the pelvis separation and the length of the backswing -- yesterday's video view was encouraging that I'm making progress.  
    • Hey folks, Here's be a better video that outlines some of my challenges.  Any suggestiosn welcome.    
    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
