2016-2017 PGA Tour Thread - Page 13 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

Lol ok story time. I taught golf with his Dad for a season in the mid-nineties. Really nice guy. The boys were 8 or 10 at the time. Dad was Canadian Jr. champ himself and was a helluva putter and scrambler. He still teaches at Morgan Creek as far as I know. Ironically, coming up Adam's ball striking was his strength and his putter held him back. It's only over the last 2 years on tour that his putting has become elite. (9th in strokes gained putting over the last 2 years)

Really hoping for the kid tomorrow!

Man does he play on the slow side though. Once he commits he's pulling the trigger but leading up to it woof

Yes, but he did acknowledge that he has terrible taste in clothes.

Yea pretty legit. The Monty story was good, actually think I may have heard it before. I can see why guys think Phil is an ******* but can actually see where guys sometime confuse his sense of humor as being ******* when that isn't his intention.

He really does seem like a guy you'd want to grab a beer or play a round with.

His knowledge of the math, statistics, course conditions and what to hitcwhere and how is insane.

Yep. And I got a big kick of his "you have to be really smart or really dumb" to succeed. When he described the "really dumb" attitude, I got very clear images of a few top players.
