Amazing Golf Swing Video

Maybe Tiger Woods should try this...

On my HOG World Tour trek last week I captured this killer video of one of the most bizarre golf swings I’ve ever seen. This older guy could actually get the ball launched fairly well for being as old as he was and for not even bringing the club behind his body. Look how his arm and the club are in a straight line in this still image. Is that good? I have no idea…

I’m going to try to get Hank Haney to comment on this video via Twitter. Can’t imagine what he’d say…

Poorly thought out golf divot mix bottle install

On my recent HOG World Tour trek, I shot a few videos. This is one of them.

I had to shoot a quick vid of the irritating installation of the divot mix bottle on my cart at an unnamed resort. Every time I’d take the damn bottle out I’d smash my knuckles on the roof of the cart.

Final thoughts on THE PLAYERS

K.J. Choi - 2011 PLAYERS Champ

K.J. Choi notched the biggest victory of his career, and the biggest paycheck by far at I believe around $1.7 million. I’ve been a K.J. fan ever since I watched his great performance in the 2004 Masters, with the eagle on #11. Loved that. Choi is a swing machine with possibly the most precisely repeated swing on tour.

Many congratulations to Choi on the great performance.

David Toms

It was tough to watch David Toms miss that short par putt on the first playoff hole from about 3.5 feet. Especially tough after he made the amazing birdie on the final hole of regulation from a sand filled divot in the fairway to force the playoff. After the miss he went up to knock in his bogey putt, then paused, then remarked, then knocked it in. He was shaken. He turned pale and he had a sick look on his face. He knew he’d likely given up about a million bucks in prize money and his first victory in years. Toms appeared to be wiping away tears. Felt bad for the guy. On the positive side though, he was there in the hunt for the first time in a long while.

I thought it was funny that Toms is a Cleveland player, but when they cut to his family his son was wearing a Titleist hat.

Graeme McDowell

Graeme McDowell has had a rough year with a ton of missed cuts. It seemed like he finally figured out whatever the issue was in his game with his first three rounds in the 60’s. But a final round 79 dashed his hopes and raised questions once again about the state of his game.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods made it through nine holes before he withdrew due to recurring injuries in his left leg. I was surprised that he even played in this tournament since the story the previous couple of weeks was that his foot was in a boot and the fact that he doesn’t typically play the TPC Sawgrass course terribly well. It seems like every time Tiger tees it up this year it gets worse and the possibility of him breaking Jack Nicklaus’ major record becomes less and less likely.

TPC Sawgrass

The TPC turned out to be as it was expected, a great stage and a ball striker’s track. Strikers like Choi, David Toms, Luke Donald and Nick Watney hung around the top of the leaderboard all week.

I know I’ve mentioned these a few times this week, but one last time this year I’ll suggest that you check out my TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course Review and my TPC Sawgrass Stadium image gallery.
