What is Tiger Woods's profession? Answer: he is an entertainer. That's how he makes his living. The entertainment he provides is playing golf, very well. Somehow, society has determined that playing g

I find it very strange -  and I doubt that I'm the only one -  that you seem to see anything that Woods does as a personal victory for you when it doesn't live up to the hopes of others. My hunch is t

After hearing that comment about Zach Johnson and how well he plays the par-5s, I cannot help but think of the title a chapter of Erik's book didn't end up getting. 

That line has always stuck in my head as well. It's a great on-course mantra.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Tiger's driver has been one of the most impressive things over the last two days for me. Seriously good distance and he looks confident hitting it.

Tiger got his driver working this week, but lost the irons in the process.

Unfortunately his iron game went in the opposite direction.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Rory, Spieth, Leishman, Hoffman, Fowler, DJ, Rose, Stenson. This is good stuff.

Well if Tiger and Phil have both blown it the next best thing is a potential Rory-Reed-Spieth-DJ duel on Sunday.

Realistically, that's all people could have hoped for before the tournament began. They could have wished for Tiger/Phi, but really.....

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Would've been interesting to see where that putt by Tiger ended up if he didn't hit the hole. It had some speed.

Tiger is grinding out some pars, showing some class. Amazing how the par 5's have hurt him.

You may still get it as a Saturday pairing!

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
