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.

As Mike said, they've basically gone their separate ways, with each having a group of regular PGA Tour players.

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

I'll just say: "He's coached a lot of PGA Tour players."

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

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

Well, if Grant worked with Tiger, and Mayo came as part of the package, I bet that Tiger would beat Joe with his 9i to shut him up.

:-$

But they split up some time ago.

He only said it once, there's no harm in that.  If he says it three times, though ... I think that's when we have to worry. ;)

I'd like to see him pick somebody not on the media radar. GW sounds like a good choice, but it would be more interesting to see the whole golf world react, who? I don't have anyone in mind, it's just to antagonize the preconception that anyone good is in the media radar. The press though they all act all like they're experts, is just that. For the most part, an act.

Erik, might be off topic, but could you explain the difference of being a (good) coach for Joe (the HackerStacker) of the tour pro? I mean, you might well be a greaat coach for the weekend golfer, but not for the pro. Do you need extra/other qualifications? In technical terms? Would there be a difference between a tour coach or a non tour coach.

If I may throw in my two cents, a good teacher is a good teacher, but someone who teaches pros and the like, I would guess that the psychologist part is much more for the pros.

Of course you would because then all of you SnT clowns could try to take even more credit for it.-Just like you do for anyone regardless of who they work for What they Teach or WHo they learned under.[quote name="Bob Grissett" url="/t/76778/tiger-fires-sean-foley/162#post_1049821"]I would love to see Tiger work with Grant Waite [/quote] Oh look- Another Tour player with a stick ageainst his head! PARADIGM SHIFT!-Please child. Edit: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/65681/s-t-2-0-dvds-and-pressure-weight-forward-an-examination layout=inline]​[/CONTENTEMBED]-At least Sean and Grant know thats a joke.

I think the coaching is unnecessary. If he can't play by now, he never will. How many coaches does Bubba have? How many coaches did Sam have when he fashioned clubs from tree limbs anf developed his swing from there?

The game has moved on from the times of Sam Snead.

Bubba has coaches. Heck, one of them is the topic of the top story on the blog: http://thesandtrap.com/b/throwing_darts/talking_to_bubba_watsons_coach_andrew_fischer_of_fishfit .

Also while they may not have had "coaches", players would regularly ask other players to watch their swings and give advice.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
