Golf Video of Marc Turnesa the 2008 Las Vegas Open Champion in action

Posted by Big G under Golf Action, Golf Videos

Please see below some video footage of American Marc Turnesa in round 2 of the PGA Tour Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for ChildrenLas Vegas Open holing his approach shot to the 36th hole after double-bogeying the previous hole - now that’s what I call finishing in style!

It is the first time I have seen Marc, who was beaten in a play-off a month ago after a hiccup at the end of his final round. It was pleasing to see him get into the winner’s enclosure on this occasion. His posture and golf action looks very sound and I would not be surprised if he went on to record further further PGA Tour victories. The Ed.

Posted by Big G under Golf Action, Golf Swing Analysis Videos, Golf Videos, Tiger Woods

It is amazing how technology has developed over the years where the ball speed and trajectory can be tracked to perfection. This video is a typical example, using the Trackman System to Track Tiger Wood’s ball at US Open. Don’t know what a mere mortal like myself takes out of this but it is interesting viewing all the same. The Ed.

Golf Video of Great White Sharks Swing from 1986 to 2008

Posted by Big G under Golf Action, Golf Swing Analysis Videos, Golf Videos

I like this footage which shows the Great White Shark in actions from 1986 right up to 2008.

What great shape this guy has been over the past 20 years and it is therefore not surprising this supreme athlete is still competing with the younger players with modern equipment hitting it a lot further than when Greg was in his younger days. Guys such as Welsh Short game Wizard Mark Mouland who is getting on in years should take note, and get down tht gym, if he wishes to earn serious bucks on the Seniors Tour next year?! (may have over-egged that one, Mark is only 42 !? )

This guy would not be perturbed about young guys hitting it much further whereas other tour pros seem to be intimidated and come out of the cocoon, as they try to stand all over drives to keep up with the long hitters.

You will notice from the 1st footage Greg is hitting a bit of furniture, which I trust is a persimmon wood?! The Ed.

John Daly Feeds The Big Dog Off A Beer Can

Posted by Big G under Golf Action, Golf Videos

Trust John Daly to be outrageously different and there is always something good or bad happening on the golf course when big JD is around! Here we have John feeding the big dog from off the top of a beer can - personally, I’d be a bit loathe to try this out incase I wasted some nice chilled beer! The Ed.
