[12 piece bucket]

First, I'd like to thank Okie for his support. Okie; thank you. Our experiences must be similar.

Mr. Bucket,

Think outside the box. They don't get away with it. The results of their tournaments don't look any different than the results of any weekly foursome all around the country. It's a crapshoot. Almost anyone of them can win at anytime. Look at their Fairways and G.I.R. Good but on the average nothing to write home about, but some weeks exceptional and others less than average.

Mr. Bucket, if you and I grabbed some Kentucky Fry and played a 5000 yard course, we should hit every fairway and 95% of the greens. You would think that a guy that does it for a living and gets free drinks, equipment, and stretching and massage therapy could do it regularly on a 7000 yard course. My, my? Maybe they aren’t getting away with anything.

The Truth may be (as if they knew any better), that they prefer cocking both Wrists and using their forearms to unload into the ball with simultaneous release, angled hinging and controlled Clubhead Throw-away. Perhaps they think that this procedure with hand-eye coordination and perseverance and torturously hard work will win out in the end. So far it has.

But what the hell do I know anyway? Love ya man.

I don't know man . . . . let's reverse that a lil' bit . . . look at Sergio's scoring average it's like 69. On LONG courses with HARD pins. These guys are Sooooooooooooooo good. I know a cat that is a GREAT player. Played in college. Good golf swing . . . so good that he was on a TV commercial.

The Nationwide Tour has an event at his home course every year. He's played in the Pro Am several times. I asked him "What's the difference in their game and yours?" He said, "It's like the difference between me and a 10 handicapper." Now again this guy is GOOD . . . he's plus. So he can play golf. And he's like a 10 compared to dudes that arent' even IN THE BIG LEAGUES.

So maybe your example should be reversed . . . if me and you eat chicken and go play their 7000 yard course and the Pro eats chicken and goes and plays a 5000 yard course . . . what happens????

We had the Tarheel Tour at my home course. That Tommy 2 Gloves played . . . he shot a 61. Heck I shoot 61 on my course everytime I tee it up . . . after about 12 holes.

Point being . . . these guys that you speak of are in a different galaxy than us.

Why is that???

My answer is

A. THEY ARE TECHICIANS . . . THERE TECHNIQUE IS THE BEST . . . COCKED WRIST OR NOT COCKED.

B. They have talent.

I mean look at Justin Leonard. They measured that cat's driver swing speed. It was like 107. I can scare 107. But I can't scare Justin Leonard on no 5000 yard course or much less a 7000 yard course.

The reason these guys are good is because the have good alignments . . . PERIOD.
