Jamie Sadlowski blows away PGA Tour players, and will work with Peter Kostis

[lia41985]

Just heard Rich Lerner and Rocco Mediate discuss this on The Golf Channel. Sadlowski wants to look to play golf professionally and has decided to get coaching from Peter Kostis in pursuit of this goal. I haven't seen Paul Casey progress as far as he would under the tutelage of Kostis. That track record and hearing his analysis makes me fear that Sadlowski won't progress as far as he could either.

Uh oh...

Best of luck to both of them.

Sadlowski blows away tour

long drivers , Bubba and Dustin Johnson. Did he really hit 3 straight 400 yard drives in the fairway. Yes, he did. Fun to watch on the Golf Channel last nite. Sadlowski 35 to 50 yards longer than Bubba.

Was this apples vs oranges: Was Sadlowski hitting a long drive specific driver?

 

[Jared Willerson]

No he wasn't. Standard driver.

 

[Jared Willerson]

I really hate that for him.

 

[Mike Thomas (sunmart)]

Casey is ranked 8th in the world.

 

[peterjthomps]

Sure was fun to watch. This may go down as one of my favorite season openers.

 

[Jared Willerson]

I agree, pretty good stuff from the Golf Channel last night. Exceeded expectations.

Sadlowski will have to learn how to caress the ball and play bump and run shots too ... because raw power just doesn't fit the competitive game. Gonna be interesting to see how he dials in partial swing shots.

3 words:

can he putt?

 

[ej20]

Won't need to putt well if you can drive all the par4's.Two putts for birdie,3 putts for par.

A real life Happy Gilmore.

I hope Jamie makes it. It will make for some interesting golf on TV.

I think he should try baseball. If he can bat .198 and hit 30 home runs he can make 10 million a year. ( See Carlos Pena )

While I am looking with a good eye on Sadlowski because of his Polish roots, I think if he makes the Tour only because of his SS it would be an ultimate proof that the old essence of golf "control is the name of the game" loses its sense entirely nowadays.

Cheers

He could hit his putter OFF THE TEE and still be longer than the tour 'average' drive!

D, who in the world ever deemed golf to be about control? Sounds like it came from a guy who didn't have gas.

All seriousness aside, golf (not golf swing) is about score - PERIOD. If the Polish Pounder makes the tour it will be because of his score. If his score is because of his SS, that's golf. If his score is because of his control, that's golf. If his score is because of his putting, that's golf.

Distal parts be damned, how many strokes did it take? That's the only question in golf.

If that's true he needs to get MUCH better to have a chance.
