So basically this works for me. Fox works on IE on Win 8. USGA better on Safari on OS X.

Norman's ok so far, not saying anything out of left field or talking about himself. Nice hearing someone other than Faldo or Miller. Hearing them for too long.

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Looking at pace of play, the morning guys look to be heading around at least a 5 hour round...probably a bit more. Rory's on his 9th hole of the day and teed off just over 2.5 hours ago. Phil's played 3.5 hours so far and is on 12. That's not great for the morning wave. The afternoon groups usually finish 20-30 minutes later because the course plays tougher and you tend to get a few more backups. I don't think we'll a 6-hour round, but I think they could get close. Tiger may be finishing right at 11pm tonight. EDT.

He's making me very angry.

Colt Hammer's bunker shot was gorgeous, almost identical to Rory's except Hammer's rolled to like 4 inches and Rory's to 4 feet.

Pro-tracer from the middle of the fairway? Has that been utilized before? I swear I've only seen it from tee shots.

Joe Buck just called Chambers Bay a links course about an hour after Tom Weiskoph did a segment on how it's not a links course.

There was an article on Buck the other day that I read and he admitted his golf knowledge is not spectacular. He's kinda learning as he goes. At least he's honest. I remember when Musberger did it with ABC at first and he admitted the same thing.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
