Dream Foursome

Recommended Posts

If the goal would be to see how legendary people play up close - as opposed to being able to chat with them and see them as a person who happens to be fortunate to be able do what many would dream of.

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.

I’m going with:-

 

Justin Thomas - I’m a smaller guy and feel like I can get it out there OK. I have heard it mentioned on TV that JT is a smaller guy who gets it out there. Not sure if that is correct but going to give it a go and see how he manages it.

Adam Scott - Just look at that swing.

Tiger - just because it’s the Cat.

Same old answer for me, and I'm playing six, lol.

 

Me, my dad, my oldest daughter, Jack, Arnie and Tiger - we all get our favorites and we all love each other's favorites.

 

A nice brunch (daughter doesn't get up early) and conversation in the cabin (this would be at Augusta National, of course), some time on the range, a nice 18, some light snacks under the umbrellas, a fun round on the par 3 course, and our own "Champions Dinner" of steaks and other delights, including tales of greatness!

 

Literally brings a tear to my eye (but I'm still mourning the death of Lute Olson).

My Dad and I recently had this conversation. 

 

My Dad would for sure be in it along with Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els. Those were my two favorite players growing up.

OP specified only going back 30 years, but being non conformist that I am, I'm going back further and doing the matrix to boot. I'd like to play with me at 20 and at 35 and at 55 and myself now at 76, just to see the differnt physical and mental transitions and notice the difference in equipment and playabilty.

I just think of guys that would be really fun to hang around with and have a beer with. Just have a fun round and tell some stories. Darren Clarke for sure... maybe Lee Westwood, he looks like he would be fun to have a beer with. Graeme McDowell maybe. Jimenez would be cool too. Basically give me an old Euro Ryder Cup foursome and I would probably have a good time!
