It would be funny if you could take a giant check to the bank as legal tender :P ... I wonder if the players get their smaller checks in the mail, or is the smaller check ducktaped to the back of the huge one... haha :)

They're perfectly legal checks.

You can write a check on a napkin if you want.

I suspect they have some form of direct deposit or wire transfer.

Couldn't they just tatoo "VOID" on it? Sure beats losing a limb....!

Iacas is correct; you can write a check on a napkin if you wanted to. You need to write in your bank's routing number (ABA#), your account number, and a check number (these are the numbers you see at the bottom of your checks).

However, I'm not sure those giant checks have that information on them. If they don't, then they are not legal tender. If they do, then you are good to go.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
