    Generally when a pro misses something that badly, it is very obvious in their swing (thing of Tiger's one handed follow throughs on many a snap-hook). However, Watney's swing looked fairly smooth. Donut's favorite part is around the 52 second mark.

      As a man with a great deal of experience, he got "stuck" and in trying to catch up he shanked it. Luckily for him it was a physical problem and did not immediately infect his brain.

          These are my last few scores. The wheels were really falling off and I was just about ready to hang it up for good. Then I figured out a hitch in my swing and now I'm back where I was.

                  I am very close on pulling the trigger. I am sick of shanking my third shot into a bunker when Im 30 yards to the hole on a par 5. 4 times in a row now......

                    I have the chipping yips and have tried everything to beat it. What I've found is no matter what club you use that if you put a poor swing on the ball you will get a poor shot and a good swing results in a good shot. It's not the arrow it's the Indian, try fixing the problem before buying a new magic club and you will save yourself a lot of pain and sorrow.

                      Oh man do I feel your pain. Try swinging with both feet together. Keep your head down through the shot.

                            I went out a noon to practice and found that standing closer to the ball helped. The club came into the ball with a more descending stroke and I made better contact. I will try keeping the feet together when I go out.

                                I know, poor grammar. I'll blame it on the excitement of a tee time.

                                As for my round, it was awful. I shot a 93 and I have nothing to blame but myself. I started the round by putting the ball into the lake off the first tee and scored an 8. I only hit one green in regulation. That's right, I missed the green on 3 of 4 par threes. And my putting? Let's just say that Saint Andrew would reject my request for advocacy.

                                Still, it was better than staying home and watching tv.
