Rose got influenced by a fan on a putt. Did not think these guys paid any attention to armchair warriors.

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

Chris, was it you who picked Jason Day to win and put $$ on it? Did you also pick Spieth for the Masters?

Yeah I have money on Day. Was actually pretty aggressive with it. Put 35 on him. I usually don't put that much on a player. I put $$ on Jordan at Augusta and Chambers. Also had Rory last year at Hoylake. So crossing my fingers for another pay day. Also had him in the contest here but only had him at -12. Not sure what others had.

Jason Day's 3 wood has to be one of my favourite swings in golf - would love to be able to have a swing half as good as that...

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

I just changed my post because I didn't want to jinx you. Hope you win.

Thanks. I hope so. I've had some really bad luck with car problems the last two weeks but this would balance it all out. So we'll see. With Spieth up there, anything can happen.

What happened to CBS coverage? It has gone to shit all in a year it seems. More commercials than golf. More sob stories than ESPN. More closeups of Nantz. More tech talk and science of the swing bullshit. WE WANT TO SEE GOLF.

Nah, he's got it. If he doesn't win, I'll change my picture to Robert Allenby for a month.

Looks like it'll be Rose if it's anyone at the moment - he's really finding his groove.

Whats crazy is if he was just a little better putter, he may be running away with this tournament. I've counted 4 putts today he should have holed.

Jordan's putting has let him down so far.

Looks like Day's day. :-D

    • 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. 😄 
    • I am dying..🤣 Can one of yall come and pick me up from the floor? 
    • If you can’t, attack it. That’s the new age ideology. 
    • 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).
