She hits it pretty good, but. . .worse than Barkley, maybe she's his partner?

I've actually met and played golf with a guy who WON the worst swing in America award, I think from Golf Digest.  I was at the country club, warming up for a round with my Father in Law, and I see this insane person on the range, I asked and was told, "don't laugh, don't say anything".   All the members had to go through the same, it was really funny and stifling at the same time.   Then it turns out he was in our group.   He was an old man at the time, probably dead by now.  Head strong guy, for sure.   Successful at some business, dressed like Doug Sanders.  Red sweater and matching shoes.

I suspect we all have that , or a similar swing in us, but are afraid to use it in public. :-O

If I tried that, I'd probably wind up in the ER with some stuff seriously wrong.

Thirty years ago I was pitted in the first round of my club's match play championship against old Doc Volmer.  Guy in his 60s, weighed about 120 - 130 lbs.  He was Barkley, except in his backswing: He could swing the club through the ball without hesitation, but his backswing was in three parts.  He'd get it back a few feet, then stop for a moment, gather his energy, then heft it up a little more, then stop again, then with one final mustering of effort, he'd get it to near parallel. Like it was some heavy thing, took him three tries.  Darndest thing ever.  He developed no momentum at all on the downswing, and even though he seemed to make maximum effort and finish on his tip toes, he never hit a drive over 175, 180.  

Punch line is even though I was outdriving the guy 50+ yards (and I was no long knocker) he closed me out something like 5 and 4.  We finished up the 18 just because and when done tallied up his scorecard: 4 over for 18 holes, that old fellow didn't miss a single fairway and must've had 10 one putts!

I've learned never to judge by an ugly (or beautiful) swing.  A lot of ugly swings are awfully effective.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
