  2. vahyaat says:

    Tried it. Works like a charm. This guy is a class act and a genius.

  3. odysseusinkl says:

    yea rite. under 60 in 3 weeks maybe?

  4. trapsmv9 says:

    Have never heard anything of the sort and, after watching The Open this year, couldn’t bring myself to believe it, anyway.

  5. ragoer675 says:

    An old golf buddy of mine (pro) has a pretty good program out now that guarantees you’ll get under 80 in two weeks. Golferbreak80dotcom

    What a succinct and accurate explanation of the golf swing. As Gary Edwin ( Aussie super coach) say it is all angles!!

  7. bdyftns says:

    This is interesting…..Just watched a video by Ben Hogan and he started his legs moving very fast before his shoulders…just like Tom demonstated the way he used to do it and Jack always did. Today’s players all keeping their legs very quiet and turn at the shoulders the same way Tom does it now.

  8. naflack says:

    i will try it, have heard many secrets, the real secret is can you make your body do it.
    have heard he is actually kind of a jerk when the camera is off, not like lee trevino or anything, but kind of a jerk none the less?

    El golf no es deporte, el golf es Ocio, y una completa porqueria para vagos sin oficio ni beneficio.
    Los vagos que practican esa porqueria ¡son tan flojos!, Que necesitan de un carrito de golf para no caminar de la misma vagancia y flojera que tienen.
    Malditos vagos golfistas de su gran remariconadisima mierda. Me tienen harto estos vagos parasitos golfistas, sin oficio ni beneficio.

    GOLF
    is a cross-country game in which a player strikes a small ball with various clubs from a series of starting points (teeing grounds) into a series of holes on a course. The player who holes his ball in the fewest strokes wins. The origins of the game are difficult to ascertain, although evidence now suggests that early forms of golf were played in the Netherlands first and then in Scotland.

    I stayed up to the early hours of the morning just wanting Tom Watson to win the British Open. When he missed that putt to put him into the playoff with Cink I knew he was ’sunk’. I didn’ want to watch him lose so I went to bed. He has my admiration and respect as a golfer and a gentleman…..there’s always next year.

  12. rosahairsalon says:

    what a class act this guy is!!!!

  13. footyspoak says:

    interesting stuff i cant wait to try that out

  14. dutypaidrock says:

    After months of frustration, THIS is the one tip that’s worked for me. Works right from the driver to the putter (yes, even the putter). Such a simple tip!

  15. josh3564 says:

    come take a look at my swing

  16. Rangersfan57 says:

    that was the greatest thing i have ever seen in any sport ,a59 yr old maneven 2nd in golfs greatest championship is mindboggling

  17. easyscore says:

    Even the great ones get the yips. The pressure of hitting that putt and the history it would have made was too much. He simply deccelerated at impact thus the poor putt. Clearly a result of nerves. I wish he would have made it.

  18. bobbyhayes111 says:

    a truly remarkable effort in the open

  19. AdamLsChannel says:

    I watched him in open, he lost in a play off agains Cink, shame, he deserved to win!

  20. Motown025 says:

    Such a shame, a true gentleman of the sport. It’s been a long time since he has been in such a position, and considering his putting woes throught he end of his career, he held himself together much better than any of us could have.

  21. madummer says:

    Yeah, you’re probably right. But something inside of me was telling me that he shouldn’t have putted that time…

  22. reflectivegoat says:

    In Watson’s interview following the tournament, he said that he did consider the nine. I noticed that there are many random mounds and plain inconsistencies on the greens they were playing… it looked like that shot could have wound up much closer with a slightly different landing spot. I am not contradicting what you say, but this caddy having the guts to tell Tom Watson what club to hit in order to win a British Open would be like telling Ben Hogan to go with the 3 iron in 1950.

  23. reflectivegoat says:

    Tell us about choking after you have won your fifth Open, okay? That label is really more correctly applied to those who can’t break through for their first win, or first major.

  24. master93921 says:

    He putted on 17 and it worked out. I think it was a good play to putt. He sadly just hit a poor par putt.

    Thanks for the memories Tom. I hope it isn’t the last time we see you in contention.

  25. directorwvp2 says:

    I think I saw this same guy on tv today on some sports update on the British Open. I don’t go golfing but when he says “I figured out the golf swing … I believe him, especially when he’s on of the sports news world at age 59. Indeed, he done figured it out.
