Okay get in the golfcart and I'll give you a running head start...1...2...


W's got good posture there, back arm is in, heads down, knees bent, looks like he is in the "slot"......


How'd I miss him???

U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) gestures after flubbing a tee shot that went only 20 yards at the Crosswater golf club near Sunriver, Oregon, August 21, 2003. Earlier in the day, Bush flew over the forest fires that are raging through the state. REUTERS/Rick Wilking

Hey we've all done that. Now get back to work W!!!

1. Dude's swing needs some serious work!
Of course he's going to flub his tee shot with that awful backswing. Talk about a crappy swing plane...sheeesh!

I would SO play George in a game of $2 Nassau but I suspect he'd have Diebold or Antonin Scalia keeping score. :eyes:

2. Sir ...
you stand there and swing at air, and I'll "drive" your ball to the fairway.

Does Chimpy even have a ball ?

I'll bet $10 he didn't make it to the white tees.

Cheers
Drifter

4. wouldn't matter
check out his feet he is aimed at the guy in the yellow shirt. Even if he connects its going right.

good balance, although I cant tell if this is his takeaway or downswing.

wheres the beverage cart, he looks like he needs COKE.

5. a textbook flat swing.......
Chimpy's hands need to be about 18-inches higher in his swing plane.

What's the deal with his left knee? Looks like it pokes straight out, no lower body turn.

Clubface is way out of line at the top.

Would love to play this guy for farm titles.

10. I got nailed once too...
...thank goodness for my sunglasses. The ball hit right at the temple of my sunglasses. If that ball had hit on the temple of my skull, well...:scared: All I got was a bump over the eye. It could have been much worse. The worst part would have been that the golfer who hit the ball that hit me was a young kid - no lawsuit for not yelling "FORE!!!!!" :P

13. been there done that.
Played years of high school golf with no major injuries, got popped once on the shoulder with a high nine iron, no big deal.

No lawsuit? Mrbill caught a tee shot just above the right eye at a tournament for insurance agents at the Dallas Athletic Club, blue course. Back in the photographer days had a gig shooting groups of the corporate foursomes on the first tee. All the agents got a picture, a hat and some logo balls to take home.

Was lollygagging between shots about 20-yards off to the right side of the tee box when this blinding white light occured. The next thing in the memory banks was a bunch of people huddling around me freaking out. There was a lot of blood. Anybody got a towel?

The nice folks at Baylor stitched me up after a fun ambulance ride.

The insurance guy came lurking around soon. Settled for medical fees and even removed my own stiches.

That was my fault, should have known better.

14. I Dunno 'Bout That Swing Analysis, U/P
That first photo looks like he's still going back and up. That doesn't look like the downswing to me. There's no lower body shift toward the target to start the hands down.

If i'm right and that's a backswing, he's WAY too flat. His left arm is below the line of his shoulders and the club is too far behind him.

His shoulder tilt is too high on the right side, so he's leaning away from the ball and his hands are too low.

That would explain the 20 yard tee shot, wouldn't it?

16. Mrbill and I came to a similar conclusion...
...my swing is no thing of beauty, but it's better than THAT!
