Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Doesn't that graphic kinda contradict the title of the article? I guess it wouldn't work if the URL was: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/11011019/Tiger-Woods-must-change-his-swing-and-take-pressure-off-his-back-plus-both-achilles-his-left-knee-his-left-calf-his-left-tibia-his-neck-his-left-elbow-and-oh-he-had-LASIK-eye-surgery-twice-so-make-sure-his-swing-doesn't-affect-that-if-he-is-to-save-career-claims-Sir-Nick-Faldo.html :-D

Don't see any contradictions. Tiger's swing is causing him medical issue, and the graphic illustrates his body is falling apart and that he needs to avoid further medical issues at all cost.

As a side note, what a pointed money line from Chamblee this is ...

“Woods reminds me of an ageing Hollywood actor who has had too much plastic surgery,” the Golf Channel analyst said.

Yikes!

Is it his current swing causing issues now, or simply old injuries coming back? That he gets hurt while playing golf doesn't mean it's because of a bad swing and that he would've avoided it with a different one.

We forget that Tiger has beens swinging from the age of three or even earlier?? small wonder he is having problems Check out roofers back or welders eyesight His father had him full time swinging long before his frame was fully developed and he has done brilliantly to get this far without serious long term damage

Ha ha. They just wanted an excuse to post the graphic.

I wonder how the graphic would look for JN, AP or GP. Player was in good shape though, I would think he had the least number of injuries.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
