Bold and willful, charming and flamboyant, charismatic and stubborn, it all radiated off Seve Ballesteros in his regal marches across St. Andrews, Augusta National and beyond.

Fred Couples

This morning on the Dan Patrick Show, DP was talking about why everyone loves Fred Couples golf swing.

he wears boat shoes…it’s like he’s walking around then someone hands him a club…or that he’s in the middle of doing something, then ‘hangon i need to hit this’…it’s like ken griffey jr hitting a baseball…it’s effortless

Freddie has always been my favorite golfer. His swing is so fluid and smooth.

I’ve wondered here whether I could become as good as a professional golfer in one year. In that post, I referenced the 10,000 hour rule. Turns out someone is actually trying to see if he can become a professional golfer in 10,000 hours.

Combine that bit of info with an actual professional golfer looking to get sponsored through kickstarter and I am now wondering if I could fund my efforts for one year, via kickstarter, to see if I could be a (competitive) professional golfer?

Masters Admission

Reinventing the Classics

It’s my favorite week of the year: Masters week. I love the golf, the tournament, the tradition, the course and the clothing. I’ve often wondered why guys don’t plan their wardrobes a bit better to match with the green jacket?

This year, one of my favorite golf brands, Travis Mathew, has released Bubba Watson’s kit and it’s — by far – my favorite of all time. All white. “Reinventing the Classics“. Part SoCal, part country club. It’s perfect. It matches green. And, in an unprecidented move, Bubba is wearing it all week.

Bold, but traditional. I like it.

More reason to like Phil Mickelson. Not only does he like eating Five Guys burgers (and donuts), he is also a franchise owner and is considering them for the Tuesday night dinner during Masters week.

Bubba Watson does things his own way on the golf course. In an era where a player is overcoached, he’s a rare breed and one of the few players I enjoy watching.

The truth is, a lot of coaches wouldn’t know where to begin with his deeply unorthodox swing, a violent, corkscrewing motion that “kind of proves,” as Scott puts it, “that all the things we think you shouldn’t do aren’t necessarily things you shouldn’t do.”
