This raises a great new question: Which pros in your opinion would pass the GTE test?

My nomination to take the test: Jim Furyk.

"There is no reason to have lateral movement off the golf ball," said Foley. "It impedes the proper turn and forces the eyes to make a new calculation. There are 15 reasons why it's bad."

I did like what Foley had to say about Tiger's old swing. "I want to get Tiger back to a place physically that he has been before, but with a new understanding. If he had understood what was so good about what he did before, he wouldn't have changed it.

Time will tell.

In the same article it states "Foley also had Woods place a glove under his right armpit and keep it there to the top of the backswing, forcing his arms closer to his body, ultimately preventing them from dropping behind him on the forward swing."

How is pinning a glove under the right armpit going to resemble anything like Tiger's swing of 2000?

I thought the same thing - but in relation to Foley asking Tiger to keep his head centered.

Could it be that when Foley says "I want to get Tiger back to a place physically that he has been before, but with a new understanding." he's NOT talking about Harmon and 2000, but about the Haney years?

The big difference is that Tiger was taught into a laid off swing. he was never laid off as a junior and into his early twenties. This glove thing may work, we'll see. After listening to Elk's interview, it sounds like he's not even close right now.

How good a player is Sean Foley? Did he play golf when he went to Tennessee State?

Sean Foley played on the golf team at Tennessee State. In an article he remembers attending a clinic featuring Tiger and Earl at the national collegiate minorities golf tournament.
