  1. Its more specific rapid fire type of exercise. I do lift light weights, but for example, one of my main exercises is throwing a 20 pd medicine ball into a wall or a buddies hands. You work the movement that way.
  2. For golf, explosion type exercises work best. It defiantly helps. You retain your energy levels much longer. So your swing at the beginning, is the same at the end.
  3. He traditionally does very well in match play, and if his game is back on form we will know there. He can grind his way to a victory.
  4. I agree mostly with what everyone else has said, but something else i would add is that you spend alot of time over the ball. And all the time you where behind it, you only quickly glanced once where you where aiming at. You need to stare that target down like it stole your girlfriend! Everyone is wired differently of course, but i tend to think once you step in behind the ball, it should be in the air less than 10 seconds later.
  5. Unless somebody else is paying, probably never. No round of golf is worth $500+ dollars, IMO. The only exception i might make is for the Old Course.
  6. I've never been a real big fan of these things. When i come around one, i use it for a day or two, and then forget about it. But one that has really stuck with me is this dave pelz putting tutor. I've been using it for about a month now. Im not really making any more putts than i usually do, but i am defiantly a more confident putter. My misses have become much more small. My alignment, face angle, and roll are also much much much better. Its a really simple device and easy to carry around with you. I highly recommend it.
  7. He'll win, but he really missed a chance to get some majors in his bag this year. the old course and pebble are not back for another 5 years, and by then the tiger we knew of will likely be gone. I think he will get a major next year (likely at the PGA or US Open) and 3 or 4 other wins. I like Tiger at the match play next year.
  8. I play all of my pitch shots with an open face. The type of lie i have depends on how much spin on the ball i impart. If i have a clean lie, i actually end up putting more spin on the ball with an open face than with the face square or closed. From greenside rough, i lay it flat and basically hit a bunker shot. When using the bounce on the wedge, this shot is practically idiot proof. An open face in the greenside rough also helps prevent the grass from grabbing the hosel.
  9. Tiger, Zach Johnson, O'Hair, Fred Couples
  10. No, i dont think so. Its a moveable obstruction not in a hazard.
  11. I dunno..it just kinda goes away on its own for me. But i guess practice hitting some chips with your weight neutral instead of all over your left side. When i shank chips and wedges, my weight gets so far left that i end up pivoting too much on that leg, then then i end up swinging out and over.
  12. I still do this from time to time myself. Chances are, you are swinging too much left (OTT) and and throwing your hands at the ball at the same time. Thats what i do anyway. I rotate left too fast.
  13. I dont think swing weight means that much, even to elite players. I would guess overall weight is more important. I have a roll of half inch lead tape at home, and a one inch strip of that is 2 grams i think. My pro says adding 4-5 inches will change the swing weight of a club by one point
  14. I hit alot of blocks myself (especially off the tee), and i will attest that they feel horrible.
  15. He likely gets a percentage of earnings, perhaps a fixed salary too. Last i read a tour caddie usually gets around 10% of his players earnings.
  16. I likley spend around $13-1500 per year for club dues, tourney entries, and other greens fees, but i don't replace equipment very often so it varies. Ill probably use my current set of clubs for the next several years, with only new wedges on the horizon. After that its just balls, the odd apparel buy, and gloves, which is probably around $300 per season.
  17. The golf golds are going to punish you, now. Youre a dead man.
  18. I was screwing around with the 3iron from my set, yesterday. There are certain situations where a 3i might be useful for me, but man, im glad i don't use that thing anymore..lol.
  19. Its possible, i guess. But ive never heard about shaft degradation before. Players don't usually keep a particular club (or clubs) long enough to find out.
  20. I agree. Whats tiger going to gain by switching caddies at this point?
  21. For me, i have come full circle. My quest of being the best 2 handicap ever is complete.
  22. Im the best 2 handicap in golf history.
  23. hahahahahahaha! oh man please.... i mean, they're going to get smacked by the euros anyway. Might as well have some fun!
