On XM PGA tour radio, the commentator has said:

'David is having trouble hitting it in the fairway'...that says it all.

DD- my advice to you is take some anti depressants and get your head in shape.

'David is having trouble hitting it in the fairway'

Yep. If you go on pgatour.com and follow his play by play you'll see a lot of things like, '273 yards to tree outline', or '286 yards to native area'. The native area is my personal favorite. Seems he's bring Retief Goosen down with him, although that's not all that hard to do these days.

I'm a big fan of Double-D, but the roly-poly I'm looking at on TGC right now just ain't gonna cut it, man. I'd love to see him whip himself back into form & actually compete out there, but it ain't lookin' good... -LBB

there was an article on yahoo about dd and it indicated that he's like the rest of us. he realizes he needs to lose a few lbs.

Duval is trying to eat his his way in to contention again. Duval finishes virtually dead last at the AT&T-; very disappointing. He looks like he's doing ok and then he throws and quadruple bogey in to the equation. Perhaps he should get a decent instructor like Butch Harmon- i feel that he does not want to put the work in any more though .


Duval was even par today after 11 or 12 holes. Then he made a quadruple bogey and bogey to finish with a 77. He is actually pretty close to getting things together, but one or two holes a round gets him every week it seems. That's not good enough when it comes to professional golf.

He needs a head coach.

I'm sure everyone saw the extensive coverage of Craig Perks at the Players. Seems to me there are many more players like him that lost their heads, and never came back. A la Baker Finch syndrome.

Only guy I can think of that totally lost his mojo and came back was Scott Verplank. But even then I think he had an excuse which was that he finally figured out he had Diabetes. Stabilizing that helped him feel much better and get back to respectable play.

Can't see him getting the fire back. Quick fade out.

David Duval will be gracing the Memorial tournament this week and today he tees off with Luke Donald and Daniel Chopra. Lets hope the European contingent will support him and hold his hand and coax him to a first made cut!

Duval will be attempting to qualify for the US Open in Columbus, Ohio today (June, 2nd). I wish him luck. Check the site in my signature.

You'd see a lot about Baker Finch if he wasn't part of the broadcasting team at CBS. Poor fella.

Anyway, David Duval is almost 1000th in the world rank. I find that funny. Let's take bets on when he actually falls the last 22 spots.

but world ranking is not always a great indicator of somebodys talent.

A lot of people say Phil has more talent than Tiger, a lot of good that's doing him. I'm really excited for when Phil wins his 19th major. Or how about when Phil wins his 83rd tournament. Good thing he has a solid 9 point lead over Tiger in the world rank. Talent gets you nothing, playing well gets you everything. World Ranking indicates how well someone is playing, good players that stick around play well. Duval isn't playing well, and is probably done.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
