Pro Tour
Is there anything that can be predicted about a pro golf season with much certainty? Not really, such is the nature of the game. One thing I do feel certain about, Tiger will win at least one major in 2012 - if he's healthy! After that, how will things pan out?
Rehearsing Your golf swing, I believe, is a very valuable practice. It really sets your body physiology in a way that allows you to hit quality golf shots.
So here's the trick. How do you really know what good positions are if your game is in the dumps? Yeah, maybe you've felt it a shot or two throughout your round but how can you "brand" this int your physiology so you can produce it consistently?
I have found one of the best ways to do this is by rehearsing certain key positions in the golf swing.
Watch the Faldo video in the right hand column and he'll give you 2 excellent ...
Greg should know better than to talk about the other Captain's picks. Maybe he's been watching to much NFL, NHL and NBA and has forgotten the respect the game deserves. Or, maybe, he's just trying to stick it in the face of the Golfing Gods that took so many Green Jackets from him!
With the majority of 2 years forfeited, Tiger has to start playing lots of competitive golf if he wants to get back on top and his friend Freddy is clearly trying to give him a push in the right direction!
Just to show you how far out of touch you are, I'll bet your one of the US golf fans who thinks that Tiger isn't playing because of his left leg. Don't be fooled by his walking cast. After his indiscretions he's decided to devote all his energy to doing for his kids what his Dad did for him. I've heard from sources I can't name that you shouldn't be surprised to see Sam & Charlie take on Ray Romano and Rush Limbaugh in a pay per view best ball match on the Golf Channel in the near future. I don't want to give anything away, but I wouldn't bet on Ray and Rush if I were you!
The big question is still whether Tiger will beat Jack's record in the Majors. We now know for sure that Tiger will not return to playing the way he did prior to 2009. Why? He's got physical limitations. His swing style and the nature of modern golf have caught up to him. During the Masters interviews Tiger finally said very explicitly that he had to change his swing because he couldn't physically swing the old way anymore. How did this happen?.
We have Jack Nicklaus to thank for that. No, he didn't hit Tiger in the knees with a baseball bat. What ...
For the rest of the players there are more questions than answers. That seems to be the state of things in professional golf and doesn't look to change for awhile. I'm not sure how many great players there are, but there are a lot of very good players. Looking at the new major, the U.S. Open, who's going to win. I have no idea, but I'd venture there are at least 15 to 20 guys who might win that wouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
Is it me, or do current tournament winners seem to be whoever can hang on not who can mount a charge on Sunday? In the final analysis, too many rich tournament purses may have attracted too many good athletes to the game. Combine that with golf's fickle nature and you get- BORING! In this case, I hope I'm wrong.
I really hope we see more of Tommy TG this year who plays for all of us regular guys and gals whose swings aren't perfect!
The situation doesn't look good for Tiger. Let's still give him until after the Masters to make a definite pronouncement, but can anyone deny that his window of opportunity is closing fast? I just don't see a guy who was so dominant for 10 years be able to muck about for a couple of seasons and then turn it on again. It just doesn't happen that way
