Well, the tournament was interesting. Incredible setting. Larry Nelson really crosses the line at the top, but a very well-balanced swing. In fact, all of these guys have great rhythm--nobody jumps at the ball like I occasionally do. Larry also hit a few shots and then was looking at his right hand and then trying to make a fist. Appeared to have injured it so will wait and see if he takes any time off. I'm sure you all read about Inman's infamous 18th hole experience---par 5---he took a 15. Spun 3 shots off the green into the water and then 2 shanks. It wasn't pretty.
Dana Quigley has a great compact hitting stroke. And he doesn't take any time at all to set up and hit. Several times he hit while people were applauding a shot just hit by one of his playing partners. The ultimate example of "ready golf."
Always interesting to see someone with a Titleist cap and driver headcover pull out a Cleveland driver! Saw a few examples of that.
Peter Jacobsen "gets it." Even while playing he talks to the crowd around him or when leaving a green and heading to the next tee. He's figured out that the fans appreciate seeing a players personality as well as their golf skills.
As I went past one tee box I watched Graham Marsh--sets up at impact fix and used a hitting stroke. Quigley is a hitter but didn't seem to set up at impact fix.
Overall a great day. These guys really compress the ball and nobody overaccelerates--I guess thats why they are on to the next tour stop and I'm sitting here at the computer! Later kids. Dave
