who i think - tiger who i want - bubba or boo other picks for strong finishes, or at least i want greg norman to do well and freddie, ive come accross some interesting facts too, didnt realise rose has led the masters 3 times in the last 3 years after 1st round... and karlsson with the best average finish in all 4 majors last year.. i find it hard not to believe tiger will win, he can change gears when he wants to.... the masters will be his this year

I won my comp on saturday, i shot 50 points in stableford, 24 points going out and 26 points coming in, it was a bogey free round of 63 gross on a par 69 course, so with my handicap of 8 i shot 14 under net 55

With a tie for 5th at this weeks honda classic, scott piercy is proving why he is still the best rookie so far this year, i have to disagree with most of you guys but in my eyes webb simpson isnt even close, he did ok in 1 tournament and that was it, scott piercy is the best rookie so far!

Hey guys, i played yesterday and shot a 4 under 64 at my course, only holes 8-18 were open so played those and made up the rest of the holes by doing a few of them twice... my driving was excellent and didnt have a 5 on my card until the last hole, all 4's and 3's (out in 32 and back in 32 also) I was actually -5 through 17 holes, smashed a tee shot straight down the fairway on 18, punched an 8 iron just over the green and elected to putt the 3rd shot which was very good and left me with a 2 footer for a 4 and a -5 round of 63, what happened next was annoying but it was still a good round overall, i pulled the putt and made a 5 but 4 under i was very happy!

I dont want to sound like im spoiling the thread but in my opinion, how anybody doesnt pick Tiger as the best swing on tour is beyond me, he is world number 1, hes won the most tournaments, its the most effective swing by a mile! As far as pretty swing goes, then i like swings like Rory McIlroy but its still not "better" than Tiger Woods'... i cant judge on worst swings because i couldnt care less if i swung it like Jeev Milka Singh, if it won me the amount hes won then its all great! but his swing is not the most pretty swing out there by a long shot. I actually enjoy watching unique swings out there and seeing everybody competing with their own swings, its all about contact/strike.... i agree with people saying kenny perry, JB, jim thorpe have ugly swings but its great to watch them all. i wouldnt class them as "worst" swings though...

Webb is doing well but im still sticking with scott piercy, hes been the best rookie so far this season, i cant believe he did not even place in the top 5 after being solo leader after 10 holes sunday, i had a bet on him each way to win, i could have won about £480 but ah well, least he is doing well! he will finish the season the highest placed rookie on the money list im sure!

Yes i do hit it cross handed, and to me its far longer than if i used the "common" grip, but how can you say that my equipent does not match my distances??? i use a regular shaft in my driver and i DO regularly hit 350. jb1982 is totally right when he said he used to hit 340 with a $40 walmart driver..... who is to say what equipent is right and what felxes are right... whatever equipent you feel comfortable with, why change it, i played silloth on solway golf course yesterday and shot 69 gross, used driver once because i was getting 280 out of my cobra m speed offset 3 wood straight down the middle, i was outhitting my playing partner who plays to 5 handicap and hits it well, he was hitting 3 woods and i was 15 yards past with 4 iron on most tee shots.. i dont think you guys will ever believe me but why would i waste my time BS'ing on here about how far i hit it, im not even debating on here anymore, dont have doubts because your just jealous, have doubts because its pretty damn impressive!

Can you explain to me how the tour average driving distance is any relevance to disagree on how far i hit it? Those guys on tour have "ALL" the game needed to be a pro and dont need to bang it out there 350+ bec ause the rest of their game is excellent...... I am not a pro, i just hit it a very long way and i play off about 8 so why the tour average off 288 means that my claims of hitting 350 seem absurd just is beyond me, are you going to say that the long drivers of the world who hit it 400+ are lying because the tour pros average out at only 288?????? the big hitters like myself dont have quite the rest of the game that the pros do so no need to compare my distances to the pros

Everything i told you is 100% true, i dont lie, where does lying get you in life? i have only just got my first handicap late this year and our winter comps dont count towards handicap changes, its a really tough course too and if it was anywhere else im sure i would be playing to 2 or 3, im a very erratic player, sometimes i can go round in under par gross sometimes i can go to 10 over. maybe it is "correct" to have stiffer shaft the faster your swing, but the current driver i have now with reg flex and the ball flight and distance i hit with it is perfect, if i keep hitting it as good with driver as i do now then i "WILL NOT" be changing any specs on my driver, my launch angle is spot on and spin rate is low, i get lots of carry and roll and am happy hitting 320 regularly with the specs i have, they work for me and i wont be doing anything about it. i dont think random people would turn up to me at the driving range and golf course saying "are you the joe bloggs who i keep hearing about that kills it with a cross handed grip" if i didnt hit it that far. even the pros at my driving range ask me to enter long drive comps. i cant proove through an internet forum how far i hit it but if people have doubts then thats their problem not mine, i know i can do it and thats the end of it!

I have the m speed 3 wood because it is offset and the other 3 woods i couldnt find in offset. i have a draw driver because i hit it better than a non draw driver, i stated that i dont play to hit it hard all the time so no need for x stiff shafts, i play what suits me and the clubs i have do suit me, i played through the first 9 holes of my golf comp yesterday in 5 under gross with 100% GIR so i dont think my shafts need re fittings, just because a player hits it far doesnt mean he shouldnt have a draw driver, where did you get that from?? i couldnt care less if it hit it 500 yards with a senior flex shaft, if it works for me then i wont change that. who is to tell jim furyk that he swings it incorrect? if it works it works, you should never change what works good for you, i hit it good so i will not be getting re fits on any of my clubs, should hopefully make perfect sense.

Jealous! i think you dont like that word, thats what you must be, just to prove a point, i had a ping g5 and the club face smashed right in the centre after about 6 months..... so i decided to buy a g10 when they came out and after 5-6 months of that, it smashed once again exactly the same place but it was still under gurantee, i had it replaced and the face on my new g10 is starting to see wear on the face again after 3 months. If you dont believe me then i really feel for you, you must be jealous thats all i can say, im not proud of being long, its a nice feeling, but just because you may not be like that yourself, why the need to come on here calling BS??? if there is a need to say that, then i say and quote, that your last statement is BS!

WHOOPS i hope i didnt jinx him, his streak came to an end after 79 holes! still pretty good going!

i can drive the ball 350+ regulalry if i want to, but i play within myself and the stats i gave were the ones i play to on the course, i hit 395 yards last year in england on the 16th hole at my club, no elevation change, slightly up hill if anything, very little wind. thats what i am capable of distance wise but i wouldnt try that in comps unless i just hit a stupid bogey or something! haha Im playing Silloth on Solway tomorrow really looking forward to it, one of best links courses in UK
