I was just watching Jim Thorpe on TV. He has won two tourney's this year. Crazy swing and follow through but I bet the ball sizzles at contact. Homer would have loved his aiming point down, down, down, and out hitting action. Read 14.0 "The Computer" --- "the ball is also a computer..." Despite his balky putter, Jim Thorpe compiled an admirable record on the 'Flat Belly' Tour and is now making his mark on the 'Round Belly' Tour. As evidenced by a number of high finishes in the U.S. Open, he tends to separate himself from the field when the course set-up demands great ball-striking. All this precision from a swing that not only wasn't 'pretty,' but which inspired this great description from the late Dave Marr: "Jim has a swing only a mother could love." __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
