Golf is not a sport that is particularly safe for the back and the body in general. Especially if you hit a thousand golf ball per day for decades. There are countless players with similar impact alignments to Trevino who don’t have major back issues, and countless players who are much less open and have had severe back problems. 
 

This isn’t an simple as, “if you rotate a lot you have a better chance of hurting your back” — that’s complete nonsense
 

Lee still hits balls almost every day at the age of 83. Considering he’s also been struck by lightning, I’d say he’s held up quite well. 

. 

Though didn't Trevino feel that his back issues were due to his swing? I recall not too long ago he said that, based on his own experience, he'd recommend that Tiger change his swing to avoid injuring his back, didn't he?

 

Anyway.... The "It worked for Trevino" approach is simply comparing one outlier to another outlier.

Tiger’s swing(s) were never similar to Trevino’s swing. 

 

It worked for Trevino and still works for Trevino at age 83.

 

Trevino might be an outlier in some ways but he’s certainly not an outlier on the list of “greatest ball strikers in the history of the game”
 

We don’t admire Trevino, Hogan, Snead swings because they have huge amounts of rotation. We admire them because of the legendary results their swings produced.

The context is in the video posted 

 

I get the sense from that IG post that you might be making a slightly similar argument to my own - i.e. that Bennett has a funky takeway but his swing is, overall, pretty amazing.

We realized the other day that there is a stray mother and 4 very young kittens living in the bush in front of my house. My daughters are losing their minds. 
 

Better trap the mother & get her neutered before she has another litter. My wife & I love cats but we've been down this road. Is the mother feral?

That’s the plan. I don’t think she’s feral but I’m certainly no expert.

If she doesn't avoid humans she may be a stray rather than truly feral. If she will approach your home to eat, you may be able to eventually domesticate her.

Yeah man, I feel you. Unfortunately, not my cat. Belongs to someone my wife knows.

 

Cats are obviously prolific breeders, and they've done studies concerning their impact on flora and fauna. They are highly successful hunters and often take prey just for the fun of it.

 

My cats are all fixed and remain indoors.

Try picking her up. If you survive, with only minimal blood loss, she's probably not feral.

Well, at least this thread is getting some cat related traffic.

 

Hopefully that's ok with the mods...

When we trapped the feral mama cat & I took her to the vet to get her neutered, she manage to get a paw through the bars of the trap when I was carrying it in. I didn't know who was going to get neutered first.
