Here is my lame imitation. Next time I'll do the back arching and club waving thing. Post your imitation here! 😜

I wish I had seen this before I went to the gym. I would have made one!

Thanks @nevets88. It's good to have some fun during these cranky times.

Get off of my lawn~!    Sorry, I thought I was reformed...

I enjoyed seeing the videos and believe he will bring viewers to TV just to see something different.

His swing is totally standard until the finish. He has a Kenny Perry-esque shoulder-turn, then the downswing is straight up text book until deep into the follow-through when for some stupid reason he thinks it's funny to go insane with the drama.

Honestly, I think he's kind of a jackass.

Your impressions are hilarious though, Steve. But seriously, don't hurt yourself  :-D

 

Edit: I guess he doesn't straighten his trail leg/turn his hips enough on the backswing, but otherwise, he looks pretty much like every tour player until the ridiculous finish.

I don't really know much of his origin story, got a little ratholed into imitating the swing, how he keeps that trail leg so behind him is hard, those positions are really contortionist, but yeah, it is a bit much. Pretty sure it'll be like, enough... after awhile.

He did get himself a sponsor's exemption to a PGA Tour event, so it's definitely raising his notoriety. Otherwise he'd just be another faceless tour pro ranked between 150 and 500 in the world. 

It might be interesting to know how his swing came to be that way over time, what it looked like when he first started, etc. I assume he's self taught, unless like Groucho Marx is his swing coach or something.

Have you seen Matthew Wolff's swing?

Yes. Not as unusual as people make it out to be.

Nah. Across to under. See that all the time. Good way to get decent but not great players to hit draws.

Late roll lets him hit cuts.

I promise you this. You don't see his swing on tour -- maybe Furyk (kind of).  I mean, if it weren't so unusual, why would they be talking about it?  Anyway, it works very well for him.  He hit a 350 yard drive down the fairway today.

I didn’t say on Tour. A guy I taught yesterday had this move. 🙂

I was talking about Tour players.  So many ways to swing a club, though, that's for sure.  As a matter of fact, there's 6,000,000,000,000 (six trillion) ways to swing a club -- according to some mathematician writing in Golf Digest many years ago.  If you consider where each body part can be at any given time and their relationship to one another and the various angles you can use, etc. etc. etc., then that number is really is quite believable, when you home in on the permutations and combinations.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
