Brandel Says Tiger's Driver "Might as well be a dead mackerel wrapped in newspaper at the moment."

Alex Myers on all of the things Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee had to say about Tiger's swing and approach in a recent conference call to promote the final two Reset Cup events.

Wow...

"It's a very complicated golf swing that he's trying to work on, that much fold, shaft lean, the down and the up that he has, the excessive down, the excessive up; you know, his driver might as well be a dead mackerel wrapped in newspaper at the moment. It's just awful watching him hit that golf club, just awful. It's really fun to watch guys like (Graham) DeLaet and (Henrik) Stenson and Adam Scott drive the golf ball. So yes, I definitely think Tiger Woods is overcoached."

And such nice use of the Sicillian message imagery.

He goes on to lament seeing Tiger warming up with a glove under his arm at the PGA, just a week after dominating at Firestone. Though this isn't unusual, as I've noted in Golf World the last two years seeing him do this in his pre-final round Open Championship preparation.

More interesting to me is Chamblee's point about how different Woods' game seems to be week to week. Like I said yesterday, a pairing with the far more natural-swinging and playing Jordan Spieth at the Presidents Cup might do wonders for Woods.
