Somehow my follow through has become so late that it has no impact on my swing. This is causing a slice with my driver and I believe it's costing me some distance on my irons. Any suggestions to make sure I time everything correctly?

That happens to me from time to time. It could be many things, but for me, I have to remind myself about my grip and keeping my chin behind the ball, which helps get me through it.

I had an inside out baseball swing most of the time when I played and it's been tough for me to not be at that position at impact.

If you have to think about squaring the club & consciously flip the club to square it you're gonna be all over the place. If you have a good grip, a good set up, & decent swing all you should do is turn back & swing through. The release should be natural & not something you think about.

What a beautiful day to be on the links, the goal for today was no worse than 8 over and I shortsided myself on #18 and didn't get it up and down for an 81 and 9 over, I'll take it for only the 3rd round in 3 months. I hit some awful mid iron shots and had to scramble about all day, but chipped it well and made my 3-8 footers to score better than I hit it really. Pace of play was a little slow with the whole world out there today, but I kicked back had a few cold Newcastles and enjoyed the round and the day.

Headed to Marcus Dupree's hometown in Miss in 2 weeks to play The Dancing Rabbit at Pearl River Resort.

I'm telling you guys. Tiger has had a ton of knee trouble, which many saw coming a few years ago with the violent swing. Once that knee is operated on, you start to strain other parts of the body. Then you get more problems. At his age, he can't recover. I had just told a friend that I felt Tiger was due a hip or heel injury. Once a knee gets to be that big of a hassle, he'll be dealing with something from now on and going up against 23 yr olds that bend like gumby.
I don't think he'll win another major. I hope he does, and I wouldn't really be considered a Tiger fan. Actually, after laughing at him and not really liking him as he was dominating. I'm pulling for him.

You hit the nail on the head. Went to Bragg's course (a goat trail) hoping to hit up the driving range, but found it was closed so I played nine holes. I guess I was moving my head back with my backswing and that was the root of my problems. Once I figured that out (hole 3) I had a pretty good day out there. Appreciate all the advice, probably should've waited on the advice before I headed out.

For whatever reason, Bubba feels this need to tell us everything he is feeling about any given situation. I think he likes to hear himself talk, plus he's as big a crybaby as I have ever seen in professional sports

That's what I like about the guy, he plays like he lives.

Fwiw, Ron Artest is the biggest crybaby in sports. The guy is retardedly rich from playing a sport that he was given genes to excel at, and he has always had that stupid "world is against me" chip on his shoulder.

May be the ADHD he has. His caddy should get half of everything bubba makes.
