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

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

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.

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'd suggest he hire Brandel, just to shut him up.

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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
