Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm not getting anything other than a blank screen.  Ah...there it goes.  The guy maybe threw the discus, or the hammer, in his younger days.

His priority is finding another sport. Maybe table tennis?

He's just missing the scream after the release. 😀

I got tired just watching that...I can't imagine doing that for the entire round.    Wonder what his putting routine looks like!

Yes I think he is on to something. I may start incorporating something like that, but is it more like a pre-shot routine, warm-up swing, or enhanced forward press?

I only swing like that after a bad shot and am aiming for a tree... 😁

On this subject, I am just about to make you all feel real fed up. My best friend played off of scratch at the age of 14, a few years after picking up his first club. At 16 he won the junior British open. That said, he still never made it to tour pro standard. I once asked him why golf was so difficult, and he replied, "I have always found the game so easy". I wanted to punch him 😒

Sorry, I would not even consider doing that, and for obvious reasons. He is about 50 now, so perhaps you could research it

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.
