OMG Just seen that my two favourites, Jason and Louis are saddled with Woods today. Having a donkey playing with you often pulls the play of the rest down towards his level. I hope their caddies have got horse blinkers in the bags so they don't need to see it..

Ben Martin's wife is not at the British Open, and the reason will make you laugh.  From golfdigest.com. http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2015/07/ben-martins-wife-is-not-at-the.html

Danny Willett? Marx Warren? What the hey? The wind is supposed to switch here soon so imagine if Willett gets to 12 and all of a sudden he's playing those holes downwind? Huge advantage for the morning guys. Afternoon guys are gonna get hosed

Hate to say it, but Willett may be this year's Oosthuizen......get in early at -11 or -12 and then the wind will like blow like hell as soon as he finishes and the rest of the guys begin to plummet.

The info I'm looking at is probably just the PGA tour then I'm assuming.. But at the same time we are taking about they nedbank golf challenge? Also, T57 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC? MC at US open, MC At players.. You have to admit the guy is virtually unknown..

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I guess I just happened to catch coverage of some of his good tournaments recently. He's someone I'm somewhat familiar with.

In fact I picked him in this thread--> http://thesandtrap.com/t/82680/pick-5-guys-that-will-finish-in-top-10-that-are-out-of-top-25-world-rankings/0_30#post_1155756

How wrong I was! Missed the cut, as you said. Lol.

Also, I wrote T6 Dubai, when I meant Irish Open! I watched him there and was impressed. Probably why I picked him in the US Open above.

Willett is not unknown for the European Tour followers. Having a good season, won a fairly big tournament

Agreed - definitely getting better and backing himself far more since the Nedbank. Played well in the Irish too, if I remember rightly.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Willett's an okay player. Wouldn't say he's great. More of a Webb Simpson type if you want to compare him to a PGA guy. Marc Warren is another guy I'm not too familiar with but he has the golfing physique and swing. Really think the afternoon guys may get screwed here. I have a feeling brutal winds are coming.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      More actual thoughts on the articles: Oh boy. I taught 5SK, and before that, I was S&T certified. Those experiences, for many good instructors, are additive. They're not "all" that they are. If I were to go through Scott Cowx's certification, or Dr. Kwon's, or James Ridyard's, or whomever's… I wouldn't be a "method" teacher any more than I am now. I'd be adding tools to the toolbox. He says there are "system" teachers, "non-system" teachers, and method teachers. Which one am I? A "non-system teacher"? So, I don't have any systems or structure? Or am I a "system" teacher with a bunch of branches and if/then/else statements? I don't know. The physics thing as it relates to S&T… yeah, that's already been discussed. Huh? Brendan, sorry, that part is bogus AF. Of course the arms go "around" somewhat. It's back, up, and in. Down, out, and forward. Plus, again, "energy can either be created or destroyed" isn't even right, as many of you have said. It's "neither" and it can be transformed, too. Plus, as others noted, that's typically a closed system: in our bodies we transform sugars and other things to create movement, energy. I'm going to move off this before I get totally annoyed… "These are the pontifications of a method" — no, the specific example he cited is the way everyone who has ever played good golf moves their hands - back, up, and in. The clubhead moves that way, too. I've seen this happen. This part might be the most accurate part of the article (it's no longer clear whether he's talking about this fellow or just talking in general here.) "Now here’s the sinister thing: The overwhelming information is by design." — If the instructor is as incompetent as he says, he's likely not doing any of this "by design." He doesn't sound bright enough to do so. WTF does that have to do with anything? Probably happens to some extent sometimes, but is that the instructor's fault? Or the student for not recognizing it? Also, again, this instructor doesn't seem to be bright (not that this article even really talks about the instructor anymore), so… I doubt he's doing all of this intentionally. People are found out eventually. I'm at a point where I get a lot of referrals from people who have noticed their friends playing better golf, and ask. Or people want to brag about their improvements, and that sells their friends. "As a result, these players couldn’t play golf." — Huh? I think he just observed when he was there. Not that he went out of his way to watch. 😄

      Is it possible that he writer is full of shit himself? "After months of listening and watching...". Yeah right, cuz that's so normal for writers do that just to get a single article out of the massive endeavor. I mean unless you are angling for a Rant-Pulitzer (Yup, it is a thing.. like, totally).
