He's been on an impressive run lately, I'll give you that.........

I liked his shot that went on the clubhouse roof the other day. *I* can hit a shot like that!

Tiger is the best... nuff said.

He plays like 12-15 tourneys a year, wins aleast 5 of them (2 of those being majors). Its insane how much better he is than the rest of the tour.

hehe... I forgot all about that. I think I still have photos from that somewhere...

Yup.

I wonder how many people who left their cameras unattended that night were surprised to find drunken self portraits of the two of us when they reviewed their photos later on. Good times, good times...

Look at those follow-throughs! The contact shot was great. Pulitzer-quality, if you ask me.

The guy in the blue shirt and tie has a NASTY reverse pivot going in that swing.

What the hell are you talking about? I have a great swing.

The pics don't do it justice. You'd need to see video, which I don't have.

Reverse pivot. Death grip. Pffffft!

I thought the ties (this was during a wedding reception, by the way), gave us a nice old-school look, a la Sarazen or Bobby Jones. Actually, I may start playing golf for good in suspenders and a tie. Just so I can feel cool.

You certainly look cool... but maybe that's just because you don't have a reverse pivot and a death grip.

Dodouble does look like Bobby Jones alittle bit...

TP is Walter Hagan, the great golfer who was always drunk lol...

Speaking of Bobby Jones, you guys should watch the movie Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius sometime, thats a awesome movie about his life.

If thats not a reverse pivot I would love to see where you are at the top of that swing.

You don't hit a lot of shots fat?

Nope.

'Splain to me exactly what a reverse pivot is (I honestly don't know), and I'll tell you if I have it or not.

My game is far from consistent, but my swing is pretty mechanically sound.

I intentionally keep my right thumb a little bit behind where it "should" be. Other than that, my grip is fine. I used to interlock my fingers, but quit doing that... oh.... 10 or 12 years ago, I guess.

I'm gonna have to shoot and upload some video of my swing, aren't I?

I hardly golf any more, so I'm not great, but I'm far from BAD. Have you all forgotten about me winning against Defendent just one year ago???

I just reread the whole thread - great stuff!

And if you did happen to interlock your fingers, there'd be nothing wrong with that. It's pretty rare to see pros do it, but it so happens that two guys named Jack and Tiger do just that.

TP...

After your drive with the putter, did you just start putting towards the green or did you use the putter like a iron as well till you got to the green?

I used it like a driver from the tees, like an iron from the fairway/rough/sand, and ONLY like a putter from the greens. The toughest shots I had to make were approach shots to the green where I had no "touch" - I went well over a number of greens. It's a lot harder than you think to hit a putter exactly 60 yards. Or 110. Or 170. Or whatever.

Wow, this went from "Tiger Wins!!!" to "What the hell is a reverse pivot" while also venturing into "18 holes with a putter"


How do you putt 200+ yards?!

Club speed.

Remember, a putter is basically just a very short 0 iron.
