How many 2 (or 3 or 4) sport athletes do we have in the house? I'm curious how many of you play other sports besides golf. And by "sport", I mean basically any other activity that's in some way competitive or athletic (hunting, dancing, darts, running, iron manning, fight clubbing, etc). And...

In the spirit of bifurcation (of which I'm in favor of), what are some rules changes or tweaks that you would like to see happen to differentiate between the amateur and professional levels?

Does anyone else roll their eyes when someone calls Kiawah a links course? Leave it to Dye to take a piece of property on the ocean blessed with the natural defense of high winds and demand the course be played through the air. I've even heard the term "American links" to describe it. Stop...

Yes

I can't help but see a bizarre sort of before and after of Tiger's swing when they cut back and forth between him and Scott. Watching Scott pull driver and swing free and aggressive compared to Tiger trying his best to avoid pulling driver is quite a contrast of what was and what is. No one's...

...would it help or hurt in learning about how you move it? I was tooling around with some new software trying to learn some basic moves which lead to some doodling on some old swing footage. So far I've just isolated the club and coupling point during the backswing (downswing to follow), and...

The ball is on the club for .0004 seconds, and you think you can make something happen to the club during that time... Well, how fast are you????? :) Take this fun test to find out. Please post your 3 fastest times.

Last week I'm standing on the rain soaked driving range of possibly the most difficult course in Atlanta one hour before I tee off in a state am qualifier. In an effort not to cover myself with dirt and mud, I top the first 3 half wedges I attempt. I haven't been practicing, can't raise my...

I understand its "role" in the 4 majors, but the U.S. Open is my least favorite of the lot. I have never been a fan of playing not to lose, but that seems to be the mindset forced upon all those in contention. I like watching sporting events where someone actually tries to win, and takes the...

The mysteries of gear effect, and some gem comments from the US Open coverage... The elusive "lean-in-sqeeze-fade"... And the Piece de Resistance... Johnny, you're not alone in believing that. :rolleyes:

One of our more talented members represented our little hick club quite nicely yesterday at Olympic. :)

An article from the Wall Street Journal... The Short Game's the Thing? Nope. Conventional wisdom holds that the short game is the key to golf success. If you want to win on Tour, or even in matches at the local course, you've got to chip, pitch and putt like a magician. If that's true...

The two (along with some other lefty) will be paired together Thursday and Friday at the US Open. To date, their head-to-head record when paired together is 13-13-3. Does one put 2 more in the "win" column, or do they finish the week with a draw?

Anyone had one? Surgery/scope? Recovery time?

Did anyone else catch the interview with John Derr on Matt Adams' show this morning on XM? The guy is 94, sharper than most half his age, and has literally talked to or known everyone... Hogan, Nelson, Snead, Einstein, Ruth, Gandhi, Jones, Grace Kelly, and on and on. Very entertaining...

My dad has played golf competitively since college, he'll be 67 in a few months. He went through a spell of nasty hooks in the mid 2000s that caused him to leave the game out of pure frustration. This was way before D-plane and launch monitors, and the information he got (based on the wrong...

... the best it's been in the last 20 years (or longer). A playoff is likely to happen any given week. The brightest stars are young. Homemade/unique swings are once again becoming popular. More ways to "see" an event than ever before. The fields are too good to be dominated by anyone on a...

Had a good friend and player (+ index) stop by last week to have his lie angles checked and bent. He said his divots had been toe heavy and thought his lies might be causing it. Sure enough, he was toe heavy through the bag and most noticeably with the shorter clubs and wedges, but his lie...

... to turn pro? Kelly Kraft, the reigning US Amateur Champion, opted to forfiet his two exemptions into this year's US Open and Open Championships by turning pro the Monday following the Masters. In 2008, Colt Knost turned pro before the Masters thereby forfieting his Masters invite along...
