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.

      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.

      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.
