Top Players Will Be Relieved: Brandel Offers You His Wish List
/There is nothing a top golfer loves more than advice from analysts, so I'm sure Brandel Chamblee's constructively (kind of) critical look at certain players will be received with as much joy as today's Orlando storm.
Here's some rainy day reading for you chaps...
To Jason Day: I would have him watch videos of Sam Snead’s golf swing and think of being “oily” in transition.
That's about the only way you want to be oily.
To Rory Mcilroy: I would have him practice putting with just his right hand, a la Tiger Woods in his prime. Rory talks about wanting less right hand in his stroke; I would argue he needs more. Much more.
Much safer than questioning his love of the gym. Everybody loves a good putting tip!
To Bubba Watson: I would ask him to read Arnold Palmer’s biography. Bubba has a king’s talent; he needs a peasant’s perspective.
Peasant? Is Mr. Palmer having cash flow problems we don't know about?
To Justin Rose: I would stick him in a room and make him watch Lee Trevino and Bobby Jones on a loop. Specifically, the way they get “into a shot” with their feet and hands always in motion so that the backswing begins almost as a rebound of that motion. Rose is too good to be that stiff-looking before he swings a club.
Well, he is British.
To Adam Scott: I would have him round his shoulders just a hint at address to take a little of the tension away that is present before he begins his swing. There is a generational poverty in this particular part of the address position amongst today’s Tour players and it is particularly noticeable in Adam.
There isn't much generational poverty in Adam's life right now, as far as I can tell.
