If you watch Chi Chi Rodriguez, Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, or Tiger Woods on the range... then watch them play golf on the course...the same type of thing will be seen.

Then, there is the player that nearly looks identical on the range as on the course. Gene Littler, Julius Boros, Fuzzy Zoeller, Adam Scott... you can think of others on both sides.

I tried to think of the two extremes. Most people are some where between these two.

Discussion... why do you think this is this way? Temperament, style of play, personality, etc.? Is this a good thing? Would Mr. Woods do better if he was more like Mr. Scott? Would Mr. Scott do better if he was more like Mr. Woods?

What do you think?
Good question . . . I'll take you one further . . . what about differences between PRACTICE SWING and REAL SWING?

As far as Eldrick goes . . . His swing on that Nike Slo-Mo is WAY different from his typical motion Fo-Sho.
