Dallas.

Orlando.

I've got it! Tiger's next coach will be from… somewhere east of Orlando! The pattern is clear!

Rest assured I had to bring up a map to confirm this first but ...  are YOU going to be his next coach?!?!?!?!

I think Chamblee should become Tiger's next swing coach. He seems to know EXACTLY what is wrong with Tiger's swing.

And the next instructor Woods is hiring is... me!

And you're missing mine. Designating someone as a mechanic or an artist is totally useless because it means nothing. Literally nothing. One mans artist is another mans mechanic. Once again, Ben Hogan

That would certainly lead to a lot of discussions here on this forum. :beer:

I wonder if Tiger would blog here or have someone do it for him? For sure the "MySwing (Tiger)" thread would be full of responses. He might even get kickstarter of the month award with 10's of thousands of posts. ;-)

Grant is definitely on the short list. Tiger loves his swing, knows Grant is very knowledgeable and has picked his brain before. Grant being a former tour player probably doesn't hurt either.

I think this would be a great fit. Trouble is I thought Sean would be a great fit also.

Grant might not be enough of a change from Sean I guess would be the only negative I could think of.

Ha ha, dunno where Waite is based but NZ is certainly east of Orlando. Way way, way way east. :-) http://i.stuff.co.nz/the-press/sport/10430339/Grant-Waite-stuck-between-Woods-and-the-tees

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

So says the imaginary International Date Line.  I would disagree though.  PRACTICALLY, NZ is west of Orlando because that's the direction you'd fly to get there. :-P

Would be neat to see Grant as his coach though.

Grant is an interesting choice. I know he works with Joseph Mayo in teaching; does Mayo come with Waite? Would be an interesting bit of work to see those guys work with Tiger.

It basically has evolved to where Joe has his players and Grant has his players. Grant also teaches Baddeley with Chris Como.

Makes sense.

Regardless, I think Grant would do good work with Tiger. Also, a little different. Going to Harmon, or McLean, or someone like that is kind of meh.

I can't imagine Tiger going to him. Tiger knows better than that, right?

It's funny how life works.

Guess who had a front seat view of one of Tiger's greatest shots ever (the one from the fairway bunker on #18 at Glenn Abbey in the 2000 Canadian Open)?

Yup, Grant Waite.  He finished second and was paired with Tiger in the final round.

Guess who was the new up and coming brainiac instructor at the Abbey during that time?  Sean Foley...

I've been seeing and hearing some chatter about Chuck Cook, too. What is he like, in terms of instructor quality?

      My Swing (klineka)

      By klineka ·

      Yeah I was equally surprised at both how much it had reverted but then how quickly it came back.  I know it's not fully "fixed", but I now know how much I need to stay on top of it to keep it from reverting back that badly again.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Shot a lousy 53 on 9 holes. Took 4 drops on the 1st 4 holes.  Two drops on a single hole! 🤬 Did get my game back for the last 4 holes of it could have been worse. one highlight was #8 Par-3 playing @ 190 to the center with a back pin. I chose to play my 5 which I consider my 190 club and I crushed it 205 and was on the top tier pin high.  2 putt for par and won closest to pin on that hole. i could be wrong but I feel like I am taking my eye off the ball prior to contact and that is hurting me.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 579, June 4, 2024 Practiced on the Quad for a bit. Adding a little of the "push hard with the left side" stuff to help the lie angle at impact numbers. Doing this in early 2020 strained something in my left side, I was doing it so aggressively, so it's not new.

      My Swing (klineka)

      It was like 80% reverted, huh? 🙂 (But yeah, it's easier to get it back than to do it the first time, fer sure.)

      My Swing (klineka)

      By klineka ·

      Go figure. Within 2 filmed swings I was able to get back on track with my full swing priority piece and the ball-striking immediately improved.  More mirror reps, more static holds as part of my pre-shot routine, no excuses for me to revert now.    Got some solid short game practice in too, focused on shorter backswing and letting the clubhead fall into the ball. Ball popped up high and soft out of the rough when I did it right. Also practiced bumping my 54 into an upslope and letting it release onto the green, just learning how to hit various trajectories to the same flag. Going to keep making incremental improvements with the short game and building brick by brick.
