If you could pick any living athlete, who would you want to play a round of golf with?

 

Manning? Brady? Bob Knight? Michael Jordan? If you could pick any athlete, who would you want to tee it up with?

My initial responses are all immature:  Anna Kournikova, Maria Sharapova, Paula Creamer, Jessica Korda, that hottie in @Mr. Desmond's profile pic who plays golf...........

Lets see on the dude's side:  I know a lot of people are going to mention Tiger and Jack and that would be awesome but maybe for me I would take Mike Tyson.  There is just something about him, and I think it would be great to get to spend that kind of time with him.  Whenever I hear him in an interview anymore he is usually talking about the movies, and his past and the way it was.  He seems to have changed a lot and has just so many life experiences good and bad and amazing that it would probably just be a blast to ride around in a golf cart with him and not say a whole lot but listen to him and let him do his thing provided he was in a good mood.  Plus there is always the chance that something out of bounds crazy might just happen whenever Tyson is around, even if it would be nothing like his days of old.

Tough one.. 

I'd have to say my childhood hockey hero, Theoren Fleury.

I have golfed with the Maddux brothers before. Both are pretty decent golfers. That said, if I had my choice of any athlete to golf with, it would probably be Yogi Berra. We'd discuss his short putt quote. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like talking with that man while golfing. 18 holes would probably take 10 hours...........

Steph Curry plays alot of golf and is supposedly a low handicapper. Id tee it up with him. If not Curry then Id have to go with Tony Romo. Hes another good golfer.

Well, if we would expand this a bit outside of the notable atheletes.... Being a musician, I'd opt to play a round with Alice Cooper. I understand he's an excellent golfer.

Fame from sports does not really do a lot for me.

Not trying to suck up, but I would pick Erik or Mike.  I think my golf game would improve a lot more than if I was playing with Aaron Rodgers.

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
