Surprised Paddy Power didn't mention Notah Begay. I'd put up $100 on none of the above.

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

I wonder what LaCava thinks about all this... maybe I haven't paid attention, but he doesn't seem to say much.

I think that's why Tiger likes him...

As for Butch, I'm all for it but don't see it ever happening....then again, I didn't think Lebron would ever go back to Cleveland.

At this point, does he really need a coach?  I would rather see him just get a video assistant to film his range sessions.

He should sign up with Evolvr.

The problem is, I don't know if Tiger knows what to look for on the video. He might see something, but it might not be anything he needs to worry about.

I think that's why Tiger likes him...

As for Butch, I'm all for it but don't see it ever happening....then again, I didn't think Lebron would ever go back to Cleveland.

I doubt  Butch would even accept him back. From what read, Butch's son said his dad was going to retire soon, until Ricky got to talking to him and helped rejuvenate his passion for teaching golf again. I don't think Butch wants that drama this late in his career.

He should sign up with Evolvr.

Send him up to Erie, PA! :-D

Um...yeah...I think the Erie guys would be getting on a plane to Jupiter, FLA and not the other way around...

Chuck Cook is the only one on the list that's a possibility but it's not a strong one.

I don't know him or what he knows, but I think pros are better off with a coach that can tell them do this do that, and let them do the thinking.

Woods hires... Chamblee and Nobilio They bicker and fight and Woods gets nothing done, in frustration, goes on to hire... Ghost of Ben Hogan Woooo..... The ... secret... is ... in ... the ... dirt ... Wooooo. Ghost of Ben Hogan dispels all the theories people thought he believed in. Golf forums impode on themselves. Woods fires him in frustration, goes on to hire... Anonymous Whatever the press does, can't identify the guy, Woods wins 3 majors, can't break JN's record, press loses interest in anonymous, no one ever figures out who he is, goes on to be one of the great mysteries along with who killed Kennedy, where's Jimmy Hoffa.

This is not a surprise. I now wonder who Woody's next victim will be .

Yeah, look at how working with Tiger has victimized Harmon, Haney, and Foley.  They went from household names to unknowns.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Pretty bad decision in my opinion.  Foley's other students have the best swings on tour right now and I think the only thing holding Tiger back from being on par with Rose or Mahan was his injuries

Right?! I mean guys are selling DVDs and books because of Tiger. And @2rakez Another thing Tiger has in common with other Foley students is lower back injuries.

Who knows but maybe Foley had something to do with this as well.  Maybe he told Tiger he is going to bow out to take some pressure off both of them and allow him to focus more time with his other students.  He already got the fame that goes with teaching Tiger so he can now move on to other things.  Tiger has a host of his own issues he needs to fix far outside anything Foley brought to the table or other instructors can provide.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
