  1. I think it'll be a 289.
  2. up, because it makes me feel like I have better posture, which makes me more comfortable. I honestly don't think it'll matter that much, but I'm interested to see where this thread goes.
  3. Honestly, I used to think S&T; was hocus pocus fad stuff like the AJ kind of thing being discussed on another thread, but after reading a lot of Iacas' posts and watching a LOT of tour swings, I've changed my mind and implemented some new things, namely making sure my head is still and sliding my hips forward. By doing this, and checking myself on video once every two weeks or so to try to mark some progress, I'm seeing some great ball striking changes. I don't consider it a S&T; swing. It's just good fundamentals. My weight still goes to my back foot during the back swing (it has to, even in S&T;), but it just feels like I'm doing it less, thus eliminating unnecessary head movement. Sliding my hips has helped eliminate the spinning of the hips I was doing, and thus eliminated blocks from the inside, or flipping the club to try to save it and snap hooking it. Finally, all of this has created less unnecessary movement with my swing, and created much more consistency. I'm still pretty young in this game, but my recommendation would be for everyone to video their swing, and see how much their moving around. For me, it was a lot. Thanks to Iacas though. I always look forward to his thoughts on the swing, accompanied of course with videos and pictures explaining his point. They've been a lot of help to my golf game.
  4. Will Monty be headed to rehab soon then?
  5. Most recent? Well I shot a 1 over 37 on the back nine at my home course today. The bad thing is that I shot a 7 over 43 on the front. I'm getting the feel of some new swing changes and it's hard for me to get comfortable with them, but I did well on the back, so maybe here in the next month or so I'll be down around par. I can feel it coming.
  6. I shot 80 today, but it's probably the best back 9 recover I've had yet. Started off the front with four straight bogeys, a sand save par on a par five, two more bogeys, and finally a two putt par on number nine (first green I hit all day) for a seven over 43. Then I started the back off with a birdie out of a bunker (drove it about 300 over the corner into a bunker in front of the green, bunker shot to two feet.) Par, Par, Bogey, Bogey, Par, Par, Par for a back nine one over 37. The difference with the back nine was I figured out that I was swinging too hard and couldn't control anything.
  7. I figured Tiger would be the obvious answer, so my second option was Watson. I didn't even see the part about the initials being TW.
  8. How about the other TW? Good ole Tom Watson.
