Didn't do Tim Clark any harm at the Players - certainly not a long hitter by any means.

One example out of 9 pages. And he's a top tier player, most of these guys weren't or if they were, it was for a very short time. I was talking about the guys who have disappeared, has it affected them? He has a good long game and putts well. It was just an observation. I'm sure there's quantitative evidence that it happened to at least some of these guys but that's more work than I'm willing to do.

Got me thinking. 'Promising sluggers-where are they now'?

'Hammerin Hank' Kuehne, led the driving distance stats way back in 2003 with 321.4 yards. I know he had some injuries, but haven't heard much about him, apart from his romance with a certain tennis player. people said he was too long for his own good (?)

Jim Hallet
Dan Halderson
Ed Humenik
[/quote] Danny is still in the golf industry in Illinois. Somewhere in the mid 1980's he use to host my Pro-Am tournament in Shilo Manitoba close to where he grew up in Brandon. This Pro-Am was held following the Manitoba Open it was well attended by the touring pros. We use to shuttle them from Winnipeg to Shilo approx. 2 hr. drive it was later called the party bus need I say more. Dan was a real gentleman. The Shilo Pro-Am Classic lasted 3 years. The last time I heard from Dan was about 5 years ago.

Trevor Immelman, not that he went away, but he hasn't been in any tournaments (in contention)
[/quote]

Dude he won one of the web.com playoff events...LOL

I wonder if the guy on the first page of the thread has figured out what happened to justin rose.

A guy that has disappeared from the tv screen during tour events, Daniel Chopra

Way to revive and old thread....

A lot of those guys on the first page and now [i]Back[/i] and playing pretty well.

Randolph Scott.

This thread desperately needs a musical interlude...don't you think?

Saw him make a 10 this past Friday on a par five - kind of lost his temper a bit, as would i

Dennis Paulson (The Chief...remember?)


I could think of a few others, but I can't. Get it? Ha, ha
[/quote]

I remember Dennis Paulson. I went to high school with a second or third cousin of his, so of course that kid always talked him up. I remember when he won his one and only tournament.

How about Joe Durant? I know he's still around but there was that one time period when he was absolutely on fire.

Oh - wrong thread

[AEAB1105]

Is Mike Weir back to being healthy? The small/short hitting guys don't seem to last when they start to hit their 30's early 40's another would be Just Leonard.

Sad that these guys have such talent but length is such a dominating factor now, Leonard can putt lights out.

I have been wondering what happened to Steve Marino? For a while he had the best player on tour without a win moniker and seems to have dropped off completely now.

[cinnepa]

Paul Stankowski, Ted Tryba (he was doing some announcing last year on "Live From") - and pretty good at it.

Had some sort of knee injury, I think a meniscus tear, had surgery and still had some issues. I want to say that was last year. Don't know where he's been since then.

He played only 12 events last year and has only played 5 so far this year with almost no money made. I'm pretty sure he had an injury, his hybrid out of the bunker with the ball chest level was one of the sickest shots I've seen.

Justin Leonard? Do you even watch golf at all? Justin has been playing since 1994, has $33 million in earning and is on the leaderboard this week. I wish I could "not last" like him.

Yeah I mentioned him earlier in this thread and didn't get a lot of agreement on him. I just feel like I never see him near the top of a leaderboard anymore.

Looking back on some of these is great.
