Past it? Don’t think so… A lot has been made of the exciting crop of young golfers at the top of the world rankings right now – and rightly so – but it’s been the old guard who has been grabbing all the headlines in recent weeks. Following up Mickelson’s triumph at the WGC a couple of weeks ago was England’s Paul Casey, who secured a one-shot victory at last week’s Valspar Championship from none other than a certain Tiger Woods. Just seeing Tiger back in the hunt come the back nine on a Sunday made for fascinating viewing in itself, but it was great to see Casey return to the winner’s circle after his extended hiatus. However as ever it was a Tiger that caught all the headlines. I've been listening very closely to a lot of his press recently and this is one of the quotes that should possibly interest you the most. “Just Play Golf , see the shot you want to play and that will tell you what the hands should do with the club” Interesting , Rudy Duran who coach TW for several years as a jr. golfer told me TW would only think about where he wanted the ball to go. No swing thoughts . . The reason I think it's so interesting is, he is separating the golf course playing of the game to any work he might be doing on the practice ground or training field. Possibly food for thought if your prone to getting a bit to technically minded..
With Mickelson, Casey and Tiger all the other side of 40 it certainly shows that there is still a bit of life left in the old dogs yet. With the Masters just three weeks away, is your money on youth or experience?
