Ha ha, this is where I got it from, probably the guy who took the video.

:offtopic:

FB used to have a straight up url of the video in its page source, you could easily download the video just by opening the vid url. Now, the whole url is encoded. If anyone knows of a way around this (w/o doing any fancy perl/sed/awk tricks), let me know!

Great find. Thanks for posting. The angle isn't great but would be interested to hear @mvmac 's thoughts.

Swing looks pretty good.  Not too much difference from the Foley swing but his hands are certainly higher at the top and it "looks like" he is hinging his wrists later in the back swing to allow, I guess, the back swing to be wider / longer.  That's what it looks like but I could be wrong plus, the camera angle isn't the greatest.

Maybe it is the clothes, but he looks like he's dropped some weight.

He said in the presser he lost weight due to a flu or bug or something. The guy is always getting sick. The pants are not his usual MO - baggy-ish. Maybe he lost a bet with Vonn. :-)

Looks pretty similar with a higher left arm and slightly longer swing. Arms also seem less deep at A2-3 which I think is a good thing. Almost a hybrid between the Foley and Harmon swings. Look forward to seeing it with better camera angles ;-)

Cadillac Championship on the left from last year, not exact camera angles. Slightly wider stance, some right foot flare, longer arm swing, less "handle dragging" on the downswing.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
