Wow - I'm a big fan of Rory but who is he trying to kid? I would of thought that queuing up with everyone else would of caused more of a fuss than taking the VIP treatment!

Not uncommon. I think a lot of stars just like to feel normal. I like that Rory isn't throwing around his star power.

Unlike Spieth who just assumes Under Armor will just send him cloths if he ends up in a playoff for the US Open. Sad sense of entitlement there. :whistle: (joking) :-D

He's trying to kid no one. You don't have to be cynical about everything Rory does. He's always seemed to be a very down to earth type of guy.

If he asked for the red carpet treatment, that would be more planning. Then he'd have to sign autographs, shake hands. This way, he doesn't have to plan anything, show up anytime and be left alone. For the most part. Now I've got Celine Dion going in my head. Doh.

I wasn't really shocked. He doesn't really seem to be the type that demands special treatment all the time although I am sure there are times that require it.

Yea he seems like a pretty down to Earth guy. I think places will ask celebrities to do the VIP treatment/private touring if their presence might cause a disturbance of some kind, like if Niall Horan showed up at Walt Disney World during high school cheerleading nationals competition week or something.

Me, neither.   I am just consumed with everything that is golf and have no time for anything else.   That's my Friday retort to @boogielicious . :-P

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
