Don’t cheat.

He once took a tee shot to the eye that required 30 stiches.

He went to Wright State University.

He won the 2001 Buick Invitational.

He worked for ESPN.

He was the great grandson of a pirate.

His wife’s name is Selena.

He penned the book entitled, Pro.

He won the Chrysler Classic in 2003.

He won the American Golf Classic.

He finished best of the three in the MASTERS.

His wears a Rolex, primarily.

Guessing Lickliter.

I vividly remember a playoff in the Buick involving

Lickliter

and Phil Mickelson where Phil hit his tee shot into the canyon and then some "Good Samaritan" found it for him after he didn't want it found because his provisional was in good shape.  Then he had to trundle back to the tee and hit again, and I don't remember what happened after that.  But I'm just gonna guess he lost the playoff, and I'm gonna guess that may have been 2001, so I'm going with

Lickliter

I've been trying to pass that coupon off on someone for 2 years now. It doesn't expire. Maybe they could do a scalp massage, buff and polish?

I would have guessed Nobilo. I had a (very short)  meet with him and his wife Selena at a charity function. Even in person It was hard to understand him.

No big miss on my part as I don't have that much hair to cut anyways. :-P

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
