Scary Good
 

As good as Brian's round was, he burned the edges on quite a few putts; his round yesterday was inches from being really low. Go get 'em the rest of the weekend, Brian!

Did anybody catch the talking heads trying to break down Brian's slo-mo driver swing today? Sounded to me like they were struggling to define a 'hit' :).

WOW!!!! Fun to watch . . . GO BG!!!

Yea they are really struggling with it. Never seen so many slow motion shots of Brian's swing. He has been burning the edges on his putts today could be quite a few more shots ahead.
I quite like how Kostis, Faldo et al are all saying that Brian can get another 20 yards if he holds his angles better.......:eh:

Exactly where you belong, Lynn....inside the ropes at a Tour event with your player teeing up on Sunday in the lead. :salut:

I'm spending Sunday morning with Hennybogan here working on my swing, then we'll be rooting Brian on through the finish.

Hah. Is there footage of this anywhere? I missed it but saw the last few holes. Wonder what they thought when he hit 8 iron on 18 from 171?

Brian Gay's motion is so simple. Beautiful and machine like.

I didn't get it recorded, but it may surface on youTube in the coming days.

I believe on 18 they said something like "Wow, 8 iron, hope he gets it there"...not the exact words, but they were definitely surprised!

His swing looked so good the last couple days. Never did get tired of hearing the annouccers say "perfect shot" :).

I think Faldo said something like Gay could add more yards if he just allowed his hands to release through the ball instead of holding on. He said this during an analysis of Gay's swing where Gay held the flying wedge perfectly.

It must be kinda harsh for the players to watch the play back and listen to the commentary on their round. The announcers do need to make good t.v. after all, with the accent on "make". I bet most guys do it with the sound off. I loved Nick in his prime though. His pivot to hands, 8 iron from 145 prime.

After Nick put the green jacket on Tiger in '97 he began an effort to increase his distance, that I think anyways, played a part in his eventual demise as a player. At around that time he was invited to Shady Oaks to meet Ben Hogan whose advice to him was to forget about how far down the fairway he was but instead focus on being on the correct side of the fairway.

Brian could win on any course. Fairways and greens take precedent over driving distance stats.

Golf Central
 

I am going to have to start watching the Golf Channel with the volume off...couple of "analists" on Golf Central just described Brian's swing as "unathletic"..."vanillalike"... The only saving grace is they do pick Brian to win on Sunday.

Go get them Brian...how about a 67 on Sunday and a trip to the Masters. My buddy Chris and I would love to come to Augusta and see you play after we see you at Riviera next year.:)

Thinking good thoughts
 

I would like to say how happy i am for Lynn and all the

people who have had a part in Brians development.


as i watched the golf channel the CBS.......i was so proud of Brian. No i don't know him, only of him through
this site. Brian is the ultimate professional. Watching him
play, watching him concentrate, watching him acknowledge the crowd..(ULTRA PROFESSIONAL). he never seems to lose concentration. as stated before...i don't know him personally.....but i would think he comes from a disciplined background...i say that as a positive.....not to high.....not to low......one last comment.....i don't know his caddy but to me watching them together....its a perfect fit.

I hope tomorrow brings positives to Brian and all those associated with him...

good luck Brian
