So if he breaks a window, big deal, he pays for it, but fun to try. 3 iron. I don't want to think about what would happen should there be a bad rebound.

Looks like something Joe Walsh would have done. But he would have kept the window closed. :-P

I just realized that the drapes hide how wide the doorway is.  Could easily be a sliding glass door that's completely open, with just the drapes drawn to give the impression that there's more at risk than there actually is...

It kind of looks like a hotel balcony to me. I'm assuming there is nothing out there to be hit by that ball.

Was there really a chance that he would miss?  If there was what percentage would you put it at?  2%?

Total jerk move, disrespectful to the hotel owner and juvenile. 

 

Disrespectful to the hotel owner¿ How about what I did to my wife on top of the bed spread at the last hotel we went to? I can assure you that it was much more egregious... :whistle:

Actually, this is a really cheap version.  I can't find a video, but does anybody remember Vaughn Taylor's 2nd shot yesterday at 18?  He was about 30-40 yards behind that tree in the fairway, and he chose to hit a low hook under and around the tree.  He executed it perfectly and put himself in perfect position to wedge it on and nearly make a birdie.  Had he screwed up and hit the tree, who knows what would have happened, but the difference in prize money between 1st and 2nd yesterday was $504,000.

Pretty sure that that sliding window is a little less than that. :-P

Let's say it goes 200, that's about how long the lines in the photo are, assuming they're facing the ocean, no one jeopardy. I'm guessing they checked beforehand no one's out there. Also I think the tweet said the shot was hit 3AM. If you look around, there's lots of open low/no traffic pedestrian space. I personally wouldn't do it even I could pull off the shot 95/100 times, but imho, it seems there's a very low risk of hitting anyone.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
