Brian:

Just wanted to offer congratulations to you for your work with David Toms and his outstanding performance in Hawaii. 15 Birdies over the last 2 days, just incredible golf.

I'm not sure if BM is still Toms' teacher or not, but i have one question... where is the consistency? When Toms is on it's unbelievable, but his whole swing is based on timing and that's why he only shows up once or twice a year.

I am not "David Toms' teacher." That job is someone elses.

I do still TEACH David Toms—I have each of the last three years 2003,2004 & 2005, each time for a few days and at length.

I think that is what JP was refering to.

As far as DT's swing being 'non-opitmum'......For 5'9" 165 and palying most of his career along side the BIG 4 or 5 or whatever....he has done ok.

Hmm...last year in 25 starts, David Toms had 11 top-10 finishes, 14 top-25 finishes, made 19 cuts, was 37th in GIR, 35th in Total Driving, 5th on the money list, 5th in Birdies and 8th in Scoring Average. If that's inconsistent, I'll have some of that inconsistency. If that's a swing based on timing (putting him in the top quarter of ball strikers on tour), I'll have some of that too. His only weaknesses are Driving Distance (107th, still not bad for a 165 lb guy) and sand saves. He won nearly $4 million and he is 7th on the all-time money list with nearly $23 million. Your right, the guy is a tremendous slouch.

Maybe his "streakiness" is down to the fact that he's one of the best putters on tour, so when he makes everything, he goes really low.
