I agree. Rocco was fantastic. I hope he is able to repeat his stellar play in future and hopefully inspire some of those younger guys to take it up to Tiger more of the time.

Tiger is great for golf – if he had more competition the game would be in a stronger position.

what I found quite fascinating (and impressive) was Rocco Mediate’s ability to continue playing his own game even when he got behind early in the 18 hole playoff. He kept playing within his limitations, using the strengths of his game and didn’t get sucked into trying to play Tiger’s game !

Yes, trying to play safe, that is being careful and not letting go, is not the right thing to do.

Perhaps next time you could take your 4 iron and make a free flowing and automatic swing? Letting go definitely doesn’t mean you can hit the driver on every hole. Sometimes you have to play conservatively!

Thanks for the message,

I totally hear what you are saying and what you are trying to say…

I was belting some great drives early around Bonnie Doon today but then got to a short tightish par 4 and thought, best play safe..duck hook…lost ball…round on the downhill slippery slide..

From this day forward I will seek to remember the valuable lessons you are preaching here.. hit free from fear, albeit hit the club that also has the chance of leaving you in the most appropriate positions…

Thanks
