This is basically the same shot and an almost identical call by Gus as the Isaiah Thomas shot in the PAC10 tourney title a few years back.

A fair point. I think that some of the golf discussions that take place here could benefit from some addition specificy at times.

i just think it’s easier to say talent than “ability to hit it really far and really high which gives you a natural advantage over peers with less ability in this facet.”

You know who isn’t accurate? Michelle Malkin that fagheaded jackass Man, she is definitely in your wheelhouse today. Did she say something particularly Coulter-esque to set you off?

No I'm SEO'ing Michelle Malkin that fagheaded jackass for sheer randomness of it.

It’s really funny to watch some of the Masters tournaments from the 80s and 90s, where Ben Wright and Ken Venturi are aghast at Larry Mize needing only 190 for his 2nd shot into 13.

oh, i get what youre saying, i just think it’s easier to say talent than “ability to hit it really far and really high which gives you a natural advantage over peers with less ability in this facet.”

prolly shoulda just said ballstriking, but even that’s not a catch-all term.

Spence, I agree with you that we are talking about a very thin margin amongst the elite players in the game. That said,I am just not a fan of throwing a blanket term like “talent” over a multitude of very distinct skills and then trying to make specific comparisons.

and 75% the field can hit every par 5 in 2 shots.

Talent is much more than ballstriking, though.

agreed…it just gets magnified on Tour where youre facing a bunch of 200+ par 3′s and 75% the field can hit every par 5 in 2 shots.

Talent is much more than ballstriking, though. The way it is being used in the golf world these days, it seems to be much more of an elusive concept than it does some quantitative metric.

Is determining a golfer’s “talent” becoming the golf equivalent of the ongoing “elite” QB debate?

no because talent is fairly easy to see…like you cant tell the difference between how rory hits it and how stricker hits it. even golf novices could tell the difference with their eyes closed, judging just by sound.

It will be, soon as ESPN comes up with its Total GBR system.

Let’s hope this debate gets settled here. Today.

Spencer, what’s your take on Moe Norman? Seems to me like the perfect example of a guy whose personality foiled what should have been a top-tier career.

I’m certainly no swing expert but Garcia lays the club way off at the top of his swing doesnt he?

not as much as youd think, he float loads and that exaggerates it...you cannot get in any better position than in frames 4 and 5.
