Gary Player,best ... ( 8 months ago by XELURST)
Gary Player,best ever.167 tournament wins 9 MAJORS.18 SENIOR tournaments,one of only 5 players to win the GRAND SLAM,pros today are not good enough to carry his bag.
In Jack Nicklauses ... ( 8 months ago by Tsoprtony)
In Jack Nicklauses career, he won 18 majors. At age 33, Tiger has won 13 majors. I believe TIger is going to beat Nicklauses records and will be the greatest golfer of all time. In addition, Tiger Woods will be the first billionaire athelete in 2010.
The Golden Bearback ... ( 8 months ago by redmustang03)
The Golden Bearback then hadtruecompetition from Legends likeTomWatson,BillyCasper, Arnold Palmer,Lee Trevino, Gary Player,Severiano Ballesteros those were eal competitors back then. We allknow thattoday technology is betterandballsfly further than whentheGolden Bear played but you can say that Tigerreally doesn'thave competition unless you count Phil and VJ.If Tiger went back and played with those clubs back then with that type of competition, he obviously would not be dominate as he is today.

Haha. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I don;t care if you are 15 and play on the PGA Tour...you still don't have a clue what you're talking about.
You have balls though. Esp. for a 15 year old.

I know just about everything there is to know about the golf swing if you want proof i'll post my swing on you tube just for you....
ps.I watched your swing and it is ugly man.

Tiger has ... ( 7 months ago by gilligog)
Tiger has competition - He's just so far above everyone else!!! "Golf Legend" is an intersting name to give someone. It's very rarely given to someone who is currently playing, usually to someone who has retired. Sporting legends are people who accomplish great things during their career. I'm sure in 15-20 years time they'll be calling players like Scott, Furyk, Mickelson, Singh, Els etc "Legends".
And.. if you gave ... ( 7 months ago by gilligog)
And.. if you gave the Golden Bear of old a brand new set of clubs from today and threw him in the current PGA tour, he would struggle. Just as Tiger would struggle if you did the opposite. But, if Tiger was playing 30 years ago and had been using old equipemnt his whole life, you bet he'd dominate, just as the Bear would dominate if he was playing now and had been using modern clubs his whole life!
My Point? It's very hard to compare golfers and their skills of today with golfers of yesteryear.
I really despair ... ( 6 months ago by XELURST)
I really despair with you guys, do you not see? The truly greats of golf. like Trevino said, win 4 or more majors, your a great.The players today, jeez, as a Brit, they are crap, but so are the US players, all they care about is the money,not immortality, I rest my case.
I have watched this ... ( 6 months ago by prideventures)
I have watched this same thing that Player is talking about. One of Tiger's heros was Norman, (notice the swipe he made in earlier years with the driver) Norman had a flat left wrist, and his misses under pressure were to the right. The flat wrist with produce a stonger loft at impact = greater length. Tiger now has toned it down, and hits smooth shots and clubs up like Hogan did - this phase will be incredible - 3rd in wins 2nd in majors after 11 yrs (avg is 23 yrs for the record holders)
I have video of ... ( 6 months ago by prideventures)
I have video of many greats teaching their methods - Gary Player - Billy Casper - Jack Nicklaus - Ken Venturi - I have every book about Hogan also - he is my hero, but I find Venturi's method much easier to replicate. Venturi played with Hogan and Nelsen, and developed his ideas by actually talking and playing with one of the most accurate (Nelsen) and best ball strikers (Hogan) - when I followed his method I was able to shoot in the 70's after 3 rounds of practice.

Great post. ... ( 5 months ago by moshady8008)
Great post. Excellent analysis by Player. He makes the differences plain.
In all respect to ... ( 4 months ago by swolny1972)
In all respect to nine time major champion, Gary Player, he is not correct in his observation. If you look at Hogan when he is hitting a draw or straight shot his left wrist is also flat. It is impossible to hit a draw consistently or correctly with a cupped left wrist. The same applies also that it is impossible to hit a consistent,correct fade without cupping your left wrist. Fade=cupped and flat equals draw. A straight shot can be achieved with slight cup or slightly flattened left wrist
Whether you have ... ( 4 months ago by swolny1972)
Whether you have flat-draw left wrist at top or cupped-fade left wrist is all setup with your waggle at address. That is why waggle is vital and rehearsal for type of shot you are playing because it sets up correct path for the shape of shot you have chosen to play. The tempo of waggle determines the trajectory. I have studied Hogan for over 30,000 hours and counting. I understand his swing I feel as anyone in the world in all humility.
he does not like ... ( 3 months ago by richtawee2007)
he does not like Tiger's success
you shouldn't say ... ( 3 months ago by hubiej54)
you shouldn't say that just because one's wrist is cupped at the time means that they'll hit a fade every time, there are too many other factors as in ball position and how open/closed the stance is. Cupped wrist at the top allows the club to be on plane with a slightly open clubface. Flat wrist creates an under plane swing and the clubface is slightly closed at the top. But, with golfers like tiger, timing at impact is more important than plane due to how repeatable of a swing he has.
Player is ... ( 3 months ago by rkodavey)
Player is absolutely wrong here. He should have paused Tiger's swing one frame earlier. Try it yourself. Pause the video when Tiger's swing is one frame before the one Player pauses it on (about 1:23). You'll see Tiger and Hogan have the club in the same position, which is one frame before impact. Tiger's right arm is tucked into his side almost identical to Hogan's. The reason it looks so different is that Tiger's swing is right at impact, and Hogan's is a frame before. Player = Failure
Array ( 3 weeks ago by KimJongILLTurrble)
rkodavey,
You are actually wrong and if you ever studied Hogan's swing you would know that his right arm stays on his side much at impact and a few frames after. This is due to the openess of his body at impact. Tiger at impact with the driver has his shoulders closed to the target line while Hogan's are qu
ite open. Your observation = failure
Hogans swing was ... ( 3 weeks ago by HabloIrlandes)
Hogans swing was Hogans swing, and Tigers swing is Tigers swing, and never the twain shall meet..
I have to laugh though, with all due respect to Mr Player he should have a look at some old footage of him swinging the club and he'll realise that he 'lashed' at the ball, as Tiger sometimes does.
Can I just ask one ... ( 1 week ago by XELURST)
Can I just ask one question,how many of you guys have either seen Gary Player or Ben Hogan in their prime,well I have not seen Ben Hogan but I have seen Player win 74 British Open and 78 Masters a gift from my son if anybody has the right to comment on Hogan or Woods then it is this man,in my humble oppinion one of the greatest ever 9 MAJORS one of only 5 golfers to win the GRAND SLAM!!!
Just ... ( 2 days ago by pigslefats)
Just interested-what character traits of Player define him as a 'little prick' and why do you not define yourself as a 'little prick'. In addition can you inform all of us as to how many majors or PGA tournaments you have won so that we can ascertain whether your opinion is an informed one or not. This will enable us to either give due regard to your opinion or discount it totally. Thank you.
