That couldn't be further from the truth.....

Did you forget Rickie's performance at all four majors last year? Try and tell me it was his looks that made him finish that high and be in the top 20 world wide rankings.


I love how people totally misconstrue what I say.  Rickie did have 1 very good year.  And has a grand total of 2 wins.  In his 6 years on tour.  That doesn't negate anything I said.

Rickie was hyped for the same reason Adam Scott, Charles Howell, and Aaron Baddely were hyped; he was a young, handsome, hardbody that the powers-that-be wanted to be good.  It was never so much about golf ability as it was looks.


Hmmm, I think you way underestimate Fowler's Golf Ability and that is ok, just saying.

I'm not sure where you get your facts from. Maybe the two wins you're talking about "you heard from someone". He does have one win on tour. He went through a huge swing change when going to Butch. And if you read what you posted earlier you basically said the "powers to be" only wanted him to be good because of his looks.

Dude just doesn't have it anymore. But you keep choking on it; its ok I won't tell anyone.

Aren't you so brave, being a jerk on the Internet. I'm not saying he'll break jacks record, but I think doomsday proclamations made because of 15 holes of one round after a nine week layoff is pretty damn premature. Back on topic: So glad to see Jason Day play well. Dude is one of my favorite players.

Fowler's a good player, but so far he's not produced the results that I think many of us thought he would get. We all thought him and Rory were going to be trading jabs at each other for years to come, but so far only one of them has been holding up the trophies.

One win was from an Asian tour.   Fowler had good showing in majors last year. That's wasn't shabby.   But unless something happens, I don't see him rising to the next level.  He should focus on golf instead of selling hats ... a low blow, I know.

Something to remember here, Tiger fans.  According to something I heard somewhere, no-one has ever won the Masters after being more than 4 shots off the lead the first day.

Tiger was seven strokes back after round 1 in 2005. Not to mention the fallacy that is the "it's never happened before so it can't happen" argument.

How can you airmail 17??? I've never done that in my life (and I have about 150 rounds under my belt at 17).

They'd better fix up the course for tomorrow's round.   Players are killing the course.   I don't want to see the winning score to be -28.

I heard Nobilo say yesterday the course is quite a bit softer this year than recent years and that scoring will likely be lower than normal. I think things will get tougher as the tourney goes on (as long as it doesn't rain too much) but I still think double digits under par for the winning score this year is very possible. That's the way it was back in 2009, 2010 and 2011 when the winning score was between 12 and 14-under par each year.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By roejye ·

      I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.

      A Year of GEARS

      By 11bravoveteran ·

      Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
