I saw the Payne Stewart 15th anniversary special on his death on Golf Channel the other day.    He was one of my favorite players and I enjoyed seeing his "knicker" outfits.    Time has gone by so fast.     A damn shame that faulty maintenance on the aircraft caused the death of all the passengers on that flight.

i too, watched it on TGC, and thought it was done very well..   i can still remember the day it happened cuz it was on the day of my bowling league, and almost everyone on said league golfed, so everyone was talking about it..

i even remember my step father telling me the navy or air force sent up a couple jets to check out the plane and to possibly tip it off course if it happened to nearing a city near the end, so it wouldnt crash into a highly populated area..

when i was watching it, i honestly wonder how Payne would have done for a career, cuz he was still playing at the top of his game..

It is what it is

I hadn't thought about Payne much lately which is a shame. He was a good guy, a character which the dull PGA has badly needed and of course a great player. He died around the peak of his career and we lost out on seeing him possibly win another major or more at a time when Tiger was becoming dominant.

We stoped at Pinehurst on the way home from Myrtle Beach, and there is a large Payne Stewart presence there. There is a statue behind the 18th green, the sleeves he cut off his jacket, along wih the scissors, are framed in the learning center, and there are a lot of pictures in the hall leading to the pro shop.

Before that day with the sleeves cut out of his rain jacket...I don't ever remember seeing a short sleeve rain jacket or a rain vest.  Now, I own both.  Knowing it or not...Payne was definitely a trendsetter.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
