Socialists will love this golf course. disarm and equalize. plus save water for the environment. less chemicals. less fuel for mowers. all courses should be like this. easier to get a starting time. Horschel will lose fans for whining about USGA which should go the route of the NCAA plus a possible fine. The roster has been spoiled and pampered and now they're on a track with greens like many publix linksers face. Our greens have 4 kinds of grass and every turf disease known to man. But we pay and play. fortunately we don't have 60 yard run offs.

a help but you still hit the ball with the head, not the handle. -

better to end it now than getting married, having a couple kids and then breaking up. -
watch the movies, the security guard is always killed first. an unarmed guard is a car without gas.an invention of simpletons who think they are smart. more yearly stabbings than shootings but that's o k? right! Would you feel bad is someone took your gun and killed someone else? What a stupid question. Would you feel bad if someone stole your car and killed someone else in a car wreck? Would you feel bad if you found out that you bought someone a drink and later they caused the death of someone else? Would you feel bad if you were texting someone and they wrecked their car killing 4 people? if you don't like guns, knives, phones, alcohol, drugs, don't own any.

I have to have a carry permit but handguns are single shot target grade. I compete in sponsored matches. I would not use a handgun for home protection. I have 2 twelve gauge shotguns and a 410 shotgun. each loaded with buckshot or slugs. either load will do a job. that 410 with a slug load outhits a 44 mag. plus the carry range of a shotgun is not a mile like pistol/rifle loads.

You gotta like Bubba

Sam Snead's swing.

Don't know what Foley has done that is harmful by going to fade, but WOODS seems to hurt himself swinging a golf club. Did he ever hurt himself with Butch H.? granted he was younger but he won alot with that wirey draw.

Dufner is different and has had a lot of success. His demeanor is aloof and that maybe what it takes to not over torque. If I could look like that and get a woman like that, sign me up.

Here I go again stepping right in the poop. Iacacas is going to really tear me up. I am so stressed. Just listed to Nick Faldo's narrative about Tiger Woods problem with putting. (Iacacas said it was ok), problems with wedges. And trying different "things" on the course instead of the range. Listening to many of your writings, Faldo is without the "sandtrap" expertise truth in knowledge also.
-
You and I agree. I don't know what makes writers think I have stepped into the poop and that you are really going to tear me up. There is some degree of fantasy at work. I know nothing of your program and would have no reason to say anything negative about it. I know nothing of Floley's program. But I do know that if student is still practising drills on sunday that mastery has not been achieved.
-
I totally agree. I believe that analysis preceeds the teaching aids. Any program without analysis is gravey out of the can.

I've read repeatedly that Chamblee cannot say anything because he is not a winner of many tournaments. My point is that the better teachers are also not winners of many tournaments. The teaching skill is communication and not just props. Erik know exactly what I am talking about. Tiger Woods problem is with wedges and putter.

Consistently hitting it on the toe and need a fix
bigoak replied to MAXSDAD's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
You were fitted for these clubs or they are just out of a box? Your height? The distance from the creast in your wrist to the ground? -
Congratulations on all your victories. And your attack on my logic. I will type this very slow for you. Winning tournaments doesn't make you a teacher. Just like opening a can of gravy doesn't make you a chef. The flaw in logic is that only tournament winners can be good teachers. To be a good teacher, one has to analyze the skills of the student and prescribe appropiately. When looking for a golf teacher and you see all students being taught from the same recipe book, run like hell. If the preceeding logic were true, Tiger Woods could teach Brandle Chamblee to be a top 5 golfer. THat will never happen. The skill levels of all are not the same. Tiger Woods is a more talented athlete. If Woods is on the practising with a glove early in the tournament, then this is practice. If its Sunday then the teaching never occured. The material was covered but mastery was not acquired so teaching didn't occur. When Woods is "thinkin" about how to hit the fade, then this was covered and not taught. Bubba doesn't stop and think how to hit a fade. My point about using props; sticks, strings, hulahoops, beachballs for all students shows ingnorance by the "teacher" regardling the way all people learn. Less than 50% of the population can process this way. again if its out of the can, then you have a line cook and not a chef.

Woods has won in spite of these mechanical swings. Take your stupid lines and sticks and supposed swing science away form a most talented athlete. How did Sam Snead win all those tournaments with out the lines and sticks? Woods had better results before these supposed swing mechanics put their touch on him. The effect on Michele Wie is prime exemplification of swing mechanics over natural athletic ability. Tiger Woods had the heart, passion and feel of a champion. He has been successful even while using Nike equipment, which is another topic for discussion. He was taught to play by his father, who was not a stick, line, gimmic, compulsive analysist. I don't care how many tournaments Chamblee has won, he has major points. How many tournaments has Foley, Haney, Harmon, Iacacas, etc. won. You don't have to be jockey to know how to ride a horse. If Woods did not have superior athletic talent, his father could have used all the sticks, lines and gimmics and he'd have been a hacker like the rest of us.

caddie protocol 1. show up 2. keep up. and 3. shut up too much about caddies Steve Wiiliams acting like a body guard; threatening people, taking or smashing cameras and other bullying tactics should be addressed by PGA or allow patrons to take care of it themselves.

I see Woods problems with wedge shots and putting. He cannot hit the wedge shots close. There was a time when he did not miss inside of 15 feet. Now iffy from 5 feet. Needs a short game coach more that a Foley ball striker coach. Why can't you see that?

They have gravity in Great Britain???? I thought that it was the suction of the islands?
