I've been saying that for years! The "guy", btw, is Joaquin Phoenix. ;)

I thought it was Johnny Cash. ;-)

And it's "Gladiator", not "The Gladiator". :smartass:

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

Oddly enough, both men were born with a cleft palet (something I actually have as well and is not very common). You can see the scar above Phoenix lip. Johnson doesn't have one, but he's said in a few interviews he was born with one.

Joaquin Phoenix was born with a microform cleft lip. He does not have a cleft palate.

Sorry...cleft lip is what i meant. I have the same scar he does, although mine's more noticable. From what I've read, Zach had cleft lip as well, although he doesn't have a scar.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
