PGA Cancelled, Trophy and Check to Woods

All right, I guess we should go ahead and play the PGA, but it sure seems that we could eliminate a lot time and expense by just handing it to Tiger. Funny thing, though, that every time I think its a done deal that he's going to win, he doesn't. Harrington put up a good fight, as expected, but quite butcher job on 16. Hazeltine should be fun.

During the Buick last week, I swear that I heard a television golf announcer identify the source of Tiger's power as left shoulder lowering at the start of the downswing then raising straight back up quickly through impact. Immediately, I could hear 20 handicappers around the country get off the couch and rehearse the shoulder dip (Charles Barkley come to mind?). True, Tiger's shoulder does dip and then raise, but that is completely effect, not cause. Might have something to do with his ability to retain hinge, leg drive, shoulder rotation and tilt. Raising and lowering the left shoulder is inconsequential.

These TV knuckleheads (especially that one) need to be right about what rabbit holes they send the golfing public down before laying an egg like that one. I think the 'Tour Gurus' have lost their sense of cause and effect by working with the best players in the world. How hard is it to teach people with that level of talent? My peers and I teach in the real world, with real people, ranging from very little to decent athletic ability.

Get help in the real world, and be careful about where you're getting your swing advice!
