Unlikely..that Ketsch Center-shaft = rare & not sure if it was  released at retail ( do a search on the GolfWRX forum)

 

 

 

So the Mechanic gave it to someone....that someone was running out of money and sold it on eBay.

Tina was on eBay cause she was selling Lydia's old golf clothes with PXG logo's and accidently saw the Ketsch...put in a $30 offer and the guy accepted.

 

Just like @third-times-a-charm bought Nelly's wedges on eBay.

 

Hmmm...maybe I can pick up Lydia's old PXG hat for $10....I wanna look like a PXG POSER.

Anyone know Tina's eBay handle/alias/name?

KABOOM BABY!🤣

It's all about eyeballs and ROI....it costs money to send pga43 to the PGA events for the WITB's.

 

The LPGA needs more exposure before WRX sends someone regularly to LPGA events for photos.

WRX has sent someone in the past to a few LPGA events.

 

FWIW....I don't know if he still does it....if you ask pga43....he'll hand you a WRX poker chip.

I have one but don't use it...it's too big to use as a ball marker...but it's still a nice souvenir.

Bordering on obsession/creep status regarding Lydia’s mom. Be careful 😬

I LUV Tina.

Too bad she doesn't have an Instagram account so I can keep track of the addition of her IG followers on a hourly basis.😂

Lydia’s dad is to blame for her down fall.  He fired her coach & caddy and things went down hill from there. He should have just kept to managing her off course affairs and left the game to the people who got her there.

These are reasons that I’m sure if she does, it’s a private account ha

Proto Concept is what she’s playing, but keeping with the trend of everyone else, I’m sure she’s playing garage sale blades she found for $30

Blame David Leadbetter for her downward spiral not the equipment... during the height of her early days, DL got her to change her swing to his A-Swing model.  After leaving DL she has been on a few different coaches trying to regain form and I believe currently with Sean Foley.  I hope for a great 2022 from her as she has a big influence on the ladies' game!

She's not the only one hurt by so called modern golf swings. Better watching you tube vids. Stuff is starting to loosen up now to help beginners and high handicappers perform on the course. 

[ricklawr]

Speaking of Leadbetter's A-Swing Model, I have his book.

 

If I were playing some guy in a club championship final tomorrow, I'd give him this book and tell him to make sure to read it end-to-end before the match.

 

Spoiler Alert: The match would not even be close.

 

As an MD friend said to me after seeing Leadbetter ... "I should have sued him for malpractice"

I saw Lydia at Sahalee practicing all the A Swing back swing positions on her own at the range...it looked so unnatural.

Leadbetter was at Oakmont and Sean Hogan spent most of his time with Hee Young Park.

 

Lydia still won with Leadbetter....but she's so talented...she would have won if I taught her....with a monkey looping for her.

Lydia wanted Leadbetter to teach her to hit the ball longer...so as she was aging and getting stronger...she did not have any significant gains on driving distance under her time with Leadbetter.

 

IMO...Guy Wilson got a bit shafted and was not provided the chance to continue with Lydia.....even virtually with instruction and then visiting with her every now and again.

I think Lydia's fine touch is credited to Guy.

 

I believe Karrie Webb continued with an instructor in Australia who was wheelchair bound...I also think Karrie had another instructor too...so she had dual teachers.

Not only did Lydia not get longer, she actually lost yardage off the tee. Oh, and she missed more fairways. "Long and Crooked". Sounds like a great title for a golf instruction book.

he seemed to go to LPGA events when the PGA wasn’t playing and the tournament was near the next PGA event.  I saw him a couple of times at Kingsmill; he took my profile photo.  Don’t think he has been to an LPGA event in 5+ years that I have seen.

No.  Greg was the photographer that I always saw at events representing WRX.

Her swing looks really good with Sean Foley. Everything looks in sync.

After 2 events she's #26/118 in driving distance (258 yds). In 2019 she was #152/158 (245 yds). 

 

She's come a long way in a couple of years.

I still say Lyds has finally taken my advice and visited her Lake Nona neighbor for some of that "ENHANCEMENT" juice.🤣

 

Considering you said FLA is playing long ....you also should have made a DETOUR with Bessie and made the visit too.....maybe Mike had some nice craft beers in the fridge to pop open and chat before you headed out.🤣

 

I think Lyds is also swinging her driver HARDER and this leads to some WILD drives into trouble.

I think Bryson should invite Lyds into his posse and get her SS up to 115 mph....get her on a TX BBQ diet....get a Cobra endorsement and start to wear some Cobra flat brim hats .....look & walk like a gangsta like Angel Yin.

 

Not that LPGA pros help sell clubs....but Cobra should dump Fowler and Lexi.

Ricky is now a wash-out and Lexi still continues to play 10 year old S2 Forged shovels with a wide sole to help her deep divot shots.
