Graham DeLaet's beard is no more

I guess he now endorses a white shoe law firm or something

I can't imagine it feels good in summer heat.

It's a shame we've lost another habitat for wildlife.

That's a huge misconception.  It actually keeps my face cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  :)

Where's he going to hide his snacks?

Did the Forestry Service need to approve the shave?

Guess he realized he didn't have the most popular beard in golf anymore. I think that honor's been passed on to Beef.

It seems to have thrown off his timing too.

He has had the Shanks and chipping issues ever since he shaved it off. i think it is throwing off his balance. Coincidence, I don't think so. .

I expect a detailed analysis from both of you on how the mass of his beard changes his center of mass and affects his swing.

This is like Cookie Monster without cookies...

Okay so he's used to compensating for the beard weight and is too far back on his heels exaggerating an in-to-out path. Or it may be optics related where his framed view of the ball has been altered (beard as built-in alignment device) so his feel for contact / low point is thrown off. 

In reality, I'd expect loss of sleep from newborns is a more likely culprit.

I think that Graham had the chipping shanks prior to shaving his beard.  I think that as a golfer he shaved is because he is a golfer looking for any cure for the shanks.  As golfers, we are all somewhat crazy when it comes to trying anything.
