THE GOLF GUY Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 3 minutes ago, Jim Shaw said: two of the best for sure, Fortunately for us, social media and communication was and is so good in the Tiger era that we have had the opportunity to witness and remember the great putts Tiger has made, and shots for that matter, that they are engrained in our psyche. The relatively small amount of coverage we have on Jack makes it difficult for me to say Tiger is number 1, however I can feel the "gut" churning when even the newest PGA winner Jake Knapp was standing over 5-8 foot putts that had to be made, those are sooooo important at the end of the day, Tiger and Jack were majicians at making those... All in all , Jack is still the man to me . He had set a standard and Tiger realized in time that it was beginning to slip out of his grasp for the most part . Not to take anything away from Tiger at all . I followed him at The Masters , The Tour Championship @ East Lake at the peak of his game , and I’ll have to say , his irons even sounded different from the rest of the field. Let’s just say they were the best in each of their particular era .

There was no doubt in Gary's mind that Jack was the best he ever saw. I would have like to have been a fly on the wall with some of those conversations.

Popular Post Woodrow72 Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 Great Monday morning to one and all , certainly getting weary of these 42° mornings here in The Villages though I’m certain it’s much worse elsewhere! This trend has lasted longer than any of the previous 5 winters here , usually by now it’s getting very nice but I see a warmup heading this way later this week , and it will reach middle 70’ s by 1 just makes for a chilly 45 minute ride for the first tee ! Enough whining , hope everyone had a good weekend and May this week meet all your highest hopes and expectations!

Popular Post ParFore74x Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 Good Monday morning spies! Starting the day off at 24° with a high of 72° this afternoon, we’re going for the record. We’re heading back below freezing by Wednesday though. Pretty good weekend for me. Hung out with friends Saturday night as well as longish walks with the wife both Saturday and Sunday. We’ve been trying to get a walk in everyday but the weekend allows for a more relaxed vibe since we’re not trying to squeeze it in between work, supper and whatever else seems to be going on.

Was a busy weekend and feel like I haven’t been on the forum in a month, even though it was only a day or two. Highs near 70 today followed by possible snow Tuesday night. That’s the Midwest for ya this time of year. One of the boys has baseball tryouts this week and another is trying out for the golf team. I think this is the year he finally catches his old man.

Popular Post rkj427 Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 Good morning Spies on a much later start to the forum for me than usual Monday. Had an issue arise at work late Friday, and naturally since no one else was in, or checked emails since, I spent the last 2 1/2 hours catching them all up on the issue and known details. Did manage to get to the range, and a SIM round in yesterday, so for me a really nice way to end the weekend. Hope the rest of the move goes smoothly for you Jamie, @GolfSpy_APH. @tdroma98 pretty neat that you met "Hookin" Bob" as I do know who he is and his claim to fame on the PBA.

Popular Post THE GOLF GUY Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 (edited) 16 hours ago, Jim Shaw said: I guess they should putt like jack if they want to win, Watson was a below average putter, Jones I don't know what his super power was, Crenshaw streaky putter, Woods one of the greatest putters of his generation. Poor putting knocked Seve out of golf later in his career, Loren Roberts, I didn't really watch that much but apparently he had a good stroke. Also great putting creeps back to the rest of your game, frees it up when you putt well, cramps it when you putt poorly. I disagree, you have to be a great putter to win, Schefflers putting woes could get him to quit the game if they continue. I would say the elite golfers at the top of the pyramid, the PGA tour, are the best 200 putters in the world. Is it hard work or DNA talent, probably both. I think, what I have heard, is you should practice your short game, chipping and putting, as much as your long game. So far this year the best putters have won every week on the PGA tour, or at least had a top 5 finish, that is good enough feedback for me. I agree with a majority of what you are saying , but I think you left out one key elements that is a very important and essential to putting well. All of the great putters do something that sets them apart and I believe it is the mental aspect of putting itself. You hear the great putters talk of "willing " it into the hole , "believing that they can make every putt", or when they are putting they are not thinking so much about all the technical aspects . I am no Jack or Tiger, but regarded as a great putter and said that "when he is on the green ,look out! My foursome would attest to that. I said all of that to say this , when I practice putting , I work on alignment, tempo (yes -the putter too) but when I play, I do not worry about results but have extreme confidence in what I am doing. Now , if I could just become a lot better iron player!

Its among my favorite things in the world and I was turned onto this after only drinking D'maglia Italiana for years. This stuff is the deal and it's cheaper!! It won the grand prize in Miami and that is a serious Espresso (Bucci) city with all the Italians and Cubanos sort of has a nutty, chocolate type finish its really nice Great Lead @Marlin Dave!! Going to check out the espresso today, from desktop computer . The Coffee description sounds really good.

Popular Post Erin B Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 Good morning MGS Troops! Windy again in Cheyenne Wyoming. It’s been this way since Friday morning. I have work to do today so I won’t be doing anything golf related. Los Poopies weren’t interested in coffee with me this morning; cowards! As you may know I’ve finished my review write up of the Callaway balls, you can read it and all the other reviews in the forum testing page under Callaway Whitebox review. Good info in there from all of us fellow testers. Hope everyone’s morning is awesome! As always, Happy Birdie Hunting!!! berkeleybob, cksurfdude, Cfhandyman and 14 others 16 1 Quote I could play golf every day and learn something new each time.
