  2. The tiebreaker works is this: the player who had the honors at the the start of the day will be the one that it put in a later pairing. So Johnson must have teed off first on day 3.
  3. Quite a choke. We'll done Spieth
  4. Has anyone got a spare set of nails?
  5. Now THIS is getting interesting.
  6. OMG Ernie. What a bunker shot!
  7. Bogey after finding a grenade bunker on the 7th, the most difficult hole on the course. He seems to be putting well though, all lag putts to within 4 feet. Hope he keeps it up.
  8. Spieth might be running away with it again the way he's playing.
  9. Hmm, I'll see. I am just halfway through part 1 and I really like it a lot so far.

  11. Ok, so you agree that there is a slide (which makes your 'illusion' example moot because it tried to prove that there was no slide). Now the remaining question is: is the slide only a consequence of turning - as you claim - or is it the slide that is causing things to happen in the downswing? My take on this: if it would be a pure turn, your weight would not move towards the target unless you moved your upper body forward and/or swung out your shoulders (coming over the top). In a real swing, something else happens: the left knee moves towards the target, on top of your left foot. It is physically impossible to do that without sliding your hips (unless you make a really funky movement). So if you transfer your weight to the left side during downing, you will inevitably slide your hips. And, conversely, if you slide your hips correctly, you will transfer your weight to the left side.
  12. It's actually good to discuss this, if you can actually present your arguments. But first, please make up your mind. Earlier you said this: So what is it, slide or no slide? The problem with your examples of the slide 'illusion' is that it is based on a formal logical fallacy, affirming the consequent : If P , then Q . Q . Therefore, P . In your example: If Chuckie/Jimmy turns around his axis , then Chuckies hips appear to move forward . Chuckies hips appear to move forward . Therefore, Chuckie/Jimmy turns around his axis . This is incorrect reasoning. If you do not understand why, check the wiki page I linked here . You have not proven an illusion.
  13. I've read most of the thread, hoping to finally get my downswing sorted out. Tried the following at home without a ball (no range for me fro the next few days unfortunately): - at A4 I use my legs to move my hips forward, keeping flex in the left leg. It feels like my hips are about neutral at A6, maybe a bit open; - at A6 I try to push my belly button towards the target and up towards the sky. This quickly opens my hips, brings my left shoulder up and launches the arms. It feels like I can increase clubhead speed by making the belly forward/up move more aggressive, and have more control by keeping it in check somewhat. Is this forward and up move with my belly button something you approve, or would it lead to problems?
  14. Thanks, given what I already found on the site I'll probably not go away any time soon ...
