  1. Like Craig Mac said, SEE A DOCTOR!!!! Lots of good info is passed on these boards, but when it comes to physical pain and the body I highly recommend you just go see a professional. Nobody here can determine what the problem is online, and you could hurt yourself more by swinging a club. See a doc and feel better knowing someone who knows what they are talking about determined your problem.
  2. I think this settles the question of whether or not Tiger is black http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/...videoId=162807
  3. What does income have to do with race? It has absolutely nothing to do with it, period. Let me tell you my story. I'm white. My mom and dad are both white. My dad was a blue collar worker before he retired. He made a good living, but we never had luxuries. I made good grades in high school and was fortunate enough to be accepted to a good college. Unfortunately I could not get a scholarship. Were my grades bad? No, but my dad made “too much” money for me to get any scholarships. But the black kids who had worse grades than I did got scholarships aplenty. As a matter of fact, they had everything paid for. Me, well, my mom’s job helped pay for my college. What about the black kid in my high school class? Well, his parents made much more than my parents did. How do I know? Well, he drove a much more expensive car, he wore much more expensive clothes, and they lived in a very, very nice neighborhood in my town. If they didn’t make more than my family then I’d love to know their secret! I’m pretty sure I’m right. So, fast forward…..The black kid got scholarships to exclusive colleges. His grades were below mine, yet his parents made more than mine. He had full rides, and I didn’t get crap despite trying very hard to get anything. I was told more than once that my parents made “too much” money. That didn’t stop me. Today, my black classmate is well off. Me, well, I’m doing fine, and I play golf at good courses. As a kid, however, I played at crap courses because I couldn't afford it. My black classmate had many more advantages than I did. Hell, I had to fight just to graduate college due to finances. In the end, I graduated, with honors. Blood, sweat and tears baby!!!! Oh, and no excuses. Bottom line is that I’m sick of hearing the race card being played. That’s just a big fat excuse. It’s America, so stop whining. Many blacks have broken out of the hood, so it can be done. Again, stop whining. Why aren’t there more blacks that are successful on tour? Because there aren’t enough blacks that WANT to be successful. It’s not discrimination. Think I’m wrong? Well, tell me just HOW blacks are discriminated against in golf. Seriously, if someone out there is making sure blacks cannot play or succeed, give me the proof. Tiger is playing and succeeding, so that argument is null and void. Tiger wanted it, and he made it happen. Other blacks don’t want it bad enough. Is that wrong? No, they just want something else.
  4. sandtrap podcasts are quite boring. It's Eric and then some other dude that chimes in at times. It's quite funny listening to it actually. This dude starts talking, Eric interrutps, then this guy agrees. Gees, I wonder who's in control here
  5. I just remembered something that helped me when I had the same problem. Try this: Take your normal stance, and then move your hips about 2 inches towards your target while keeping your head and feet in the same place. That will angle your spine a little away from the target and result in a more shallow angle into the ball. My pro had me do that and I have had less problems with elbow pain since then.
  6. If I practice a lot and hit fat shots, I have the same feeling. Ice works for me to help the pain. I put a bag of frozen peas on my arm after the pain starts for about 30 minutes. I then go 30 on, 1 hour off for ice for about 3 cycles. It seems to help. As far as the cause, I think it's the same reason you are thinking, and that's a too straight left arm.
  7. Yeah, but how does that tell you what distance you hit your clubs? Do you have a great driving range with some very specific targets? I practice a lot too, but I can't tell you how far I hit my clubs.
  8. Holy smokes! How much does it cost to hit at your range, and where is it?
  9. Good grief, could you guys stop trying to hijack this thread? Good pics. Sad, but I'm glad you showed them to us.
  10. all of you are on crack!!!!!!
