Took a video of single length irons guy because the lead wrist bow is so noticeable here. You can really see the face hitting "down" into the ball here, a 200+ yard shot into a par 5 green.

SLIG is playing some great golf these days, but he's so slow. I heard the final group was given a warning about slow play.

No, Koepka is still a lock for the PGA of America POTY (decided by a point system), and probably also for the PGA Tour POTY (decided by a vote).

The only other player to win the first two FedEx Cup playoff events was Vijay Singh, in 2008.  And he won the WGC Bridgestone earlier that same month.  Under the rules of that year, he only needed to show up at the last two events to win the FedEx Cup, which he did.  He was also the leading money winner for the year.

In spite of that, POTY went to Padraig Harrington, who won two majors and nothing else that year.  In fact, he didn't win again, on either the PGA or Euro Tour, for 7 years.

And Vijay never won another official event on the PGA or Euro Tours, ever.

It's tough to stay on top.

The Mad Scientist has done it again!!! Geauxxx Dechambeau

He's been very impressive the past 2 weeks with 2 wins against the best of the best.

Carry on my wayward drive

Great video there! Thanks! It may be hard to tell since it’s DTL but it sure looks like he starts his arms down considerably before his lower body does anything.

I think his lead hand grip is pretty weak which is why it looks like there's so much bowing. I tried a weak grip it's a lot of force on that wrist or maybe I'm not used to it. 

Also I never noticed before his regular grips were so thick. It looks like there's like many pieces of tape in there.

Yeah they have his grips at my PGA Superstore here...they’re literally like a baseball bat handle.

The commentators today remarked on that. During one of those "super slo-mo" replays of one of his swings, they said that his arms "led" the swing. The shoulders, torso, hips, and legs seemed to follow. They also remarked on how he didn't seem to "release" the club in the traditional sense.

And the idea has struck me that the single length irons, and the more than standard upright lie, along with the single plane swing, might make it easier to achieve the forward shaft lean, bowed left wrist position at impact.

Will I try to imitate this? NO! I'm far too old of a dog to try learning this new trick!

Sure.  But still unlikely to beat two majors with what he's got here.

I suspect even winning another playoff event it would be hard to pass up Brooks.

But the kid continues to show he is the real thing.  Not some cliche topic for uptight announcers.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm really anxious to get a look at Aroniminck! I've been aware of it since I really started learning about golf, but only as one of those legendary, old, eastern country clubs.

As far as I know, I never seen so much as a pic of it!

So I'm looking at who moved into the top 70 and who is out of the top 70 after last weeks event.

And looking at players ranked before the event from 60-72, 6 moved on and are playing this week and 6 missed being in the top 70.
Only #70 Kevin Streelman missed the cut, all the others were basically in a shoot-out to play 1 more event (with a chance to move in to the top 30 with a top 5 finish)

BTW - DeChambeau is 2/11 of the way to tying Hagen's 11 consecutive win record, and 2/7 of the way to tying Tigers modern record of 7 consecutive wins
( I wanted to get in early on hyping this streak .... before it ends)

Players play, tough players win!

And just think, he can beat limited fields to get to five:

  • 100 (Dell Tech) - already done
  • 70 (BMW) - win #3 in a row
  • 30 (Tour Championship) - win #4 in a row
  • ~30 (whatever they call the event that only winners play in now) - win #5 in a row

Probably won't happen, but it's a little funny how the wins actually get a bit easier as they go along. 100, 70, 30, 30… 😉 Then they'd get more difficult again, of course.

I played there in a GAP tournament years ago. They've made changes to the course since then, but the 9th and 18th holes there are still among of the most stunning single holes I've ever played with that clubhouse as a backdrop. Aside from that, not much about the place really jumped out at me besides the impeccable conditions.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
