I hate that I agree with this. But the guy is like a Ferrari with four flat tires trying to go 200 mph. Bad things can only come from that. He turns 50 on December 30th. I wonder how long Golf Cart Tiger lasts out there.

Happy April Fool's Day! 😅 Me after laughing for a bit about the joke:

Especially since the lead arm pins more against the chest in the early downswing before it releases down, in a lot of these high level swings. But there is a difference between this trail elbow positioning: And this one: I wish they went into describing how exactly these two positions are different and why teachers use feels like "trail elbow more in front or under."

Poor Tiger, man. This sucks. Maybe not all of America, but certainly Tiger Woods fans such as myself. Sigh.

Indeed. It is. RIP to them both. All-time scene here from Unforgiven: "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

Patrick Cantlay standing over the ball at the 2018 PGA Championship haha. Dunno what the story behind this is. But at the 2012 Players, Kevin Na was going through some rough swing thought stuff. This article I linked below says he was fixing early extension at the time while also trying to get used to feeling less weight in heels at address, and tho he hit it better than with his old swing, he had a really tough time with it, even in practice rounds. https://vault.si.com/vault/2016/01/18/kevin-na-fit-be-tied-just-ask-him Anyway, just a couple high level examples of this.

Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

It's a cool matchup! Both players inspire me in different ways. Rocco's ballstriking is so impressive. I of course didn't care for his "valley effect" green reading tip, but other than that, it's a cool 9 hole battle IMO. Glad you enjoyed it!

I wasn't sure where to put this link, so I thought here would be fine. Kyle Berkshire, great channel. But it's this recent upload from him that I wanted to post here, his 9-hole match with Rocco Mediate. Really cool matchup I thought. Didn't get too many views. Wish it was 18 holes!

I run an extension to estimate dislikes on YouTube videos. Nice ratio for Rick!

Agreed on the PT. Unlikely you have a serious injury. Most likely it's just from being tight/out of shape and then doing something athletic. Been there a million times, trust me. PT, light gym work 40 minutes a day really adds up over time. Plus I couldn't do what I do without the aid of my massage gun. Dry needling can help unlock a lot of this as well, so don't forget about this option for some point down the road. PS- For the last few years I've seen a DPT twice a week. It's expensive, but I've learned a few things: one of them is his mobilizations of tight areas around my back and pelvis has really helped. Seeing an actual therapist regularly for a few months is a big time advantage. Our bodies are like cars in that we do need to maintain them to a certain extent X amount of the time. I know you know all this already, I'm just reiterating stuff. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Yeaaaa, it was a letdown last night. Doesn't help we've seen two blowouts so far. Additionally, I have no idea why Tiger went with Kevin Kisner on his squad. The guy's game has really fallen off the last couple years. And lastly, I do wonder about those Full Swing simulators. Those are considered not-so-great, right? I'm not in the industry, so I don't know, but I seem to recall people not loving their accuracy.

They should announce just before a match that in no way shape or form will we see any LIV involvement in TGL only to have a LIV team of Bryson, Brooks and Patrick Reed show up mid-broadcast NWO style, mic in hand, talking shit to the PGA Tour guys and the booing crowd, then leaving. Then a week later they play a TGL event.
