Thanks. That was probably 8" of water, or more! Looks like we all owe an apology to @MS256 , and $10 a piece. That would be close to $300?

Using that ruler, @Lihu , John Holmes has got nothin' on me. Sheesh.

Yeah that's not 8" of water. You can still see the top of his ferrule.

It's a bunker so I was assuming that it is hovering over the ball. The ball could also be sunken below his feet level which look to be 6"-8" deep?

Maybe that IS @MS256!

Ha! Possible. . .

The guy in the picture looks to be something like 6'4"-ish with size 12-13 feet.

At least he remembered not to ground (water?) his club like that other clip going around...

Yeah, how does the 'can't ground your club in a hazard' rule work in the case of ball being in water.  Is it not grounded until you are actually touching ground (i.e. touching water is okar)?

That's what I "assumed", but you know how that goes. . .

Can we get a ruling from one of the rules guys about putting your club in the water in a bunker?

Touching Casual Water in Bunker with Club Q.A player's ball lies in casual water in a bunker. The player elects to play his ball as it lies and touches the casual water with his club prior to making the stroke. The player's club does not touch the sand in the bunker except in making the stroke. What is the ruling? A.The player incurs no penalty as he did not touch the ground in the bunker with his club prior to making his stroke - see Rule 13-4b. (Revised) Sorry, but when I first viewed that video and commented on it, I didn't realize it was in a Bunker. I watched it on a phone screen. I assumed it was a greenside stream or lake... As for "casual" water? well, that looked pretty non casual, that's for sure. And it's hard to tell if he grounds the club..

No. It's not 8" (or even 6") of water. Nobody owes anyone anything.

Yes he probably was but you don't hover the club that far off the ground.

Yeah, possibly 4" of water, which was still pretty good. :beer:

Casual water in the bunker doesn't count.  In a water hazard it would be a 2 stroke penalty.

I think that's a still from one of those high speed shots. The stripe would show the spin put on the ball.

      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).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
