Brian, wondering if extra layers of clothes shortens that backswing at all??
Good luck to your Irish this week.
Ha! Barely, but now that you mention it, I do tend to strike the ball better when i play in the colder weather! Perhaps only going 45 degrees past parallel helps in that regard.
I think the Irish need all the luck they can get this weekend. I am incredibly excited about their progress, and believe they have the right coach, but this particular weekend has been worrying me for quite a while. The fact that it means so much this late in the season is a welcomed, albeit nerve-wracking feeling we've been missing.
Hope to get up to Chicago to play with you guys some time soon.
