Trevino, Couples, Furyk

All have loops and all are great ball strikers. Why?

Because they have biomechanically great downswings.

Because in 3rd grade recess on the schoolyard, all three woud have been picked first in just about any sport (except basketball for Lee

I can't imagine anyone picking furyk for any other sport. Trevino's loop really wasn't that much of one. He didnt really even take it that far outside considering how open his stance was. A lot of younger tour players that have the "hips too fast on the downswing" problem could learn a thing from ole Lee. Instead of trying to slow those hips down, why not build your swing around them and turn a negative into a positive?

what makes you think furyk is a gifted athlete? sure hes an elite golfer, but that doesn't make you an athlete. Is Tim Herron a gifted athlete? How about John Daly? Kevin Stadler?

Future, why the doubt? I knew Furyk from high school. He was a multi sport player and a good one. Couples was a baseball prospect in Washington. The question had nothing at all with this forum's favorite punching bag, Tim Herron. Every time there is a question about golfer's being athletes, someone always brings up Tim Herron.

How in the hell do you know that Tim Herron wasn't a good football player growing up? He wasn't always that fat. In the sixties, Nicklaus' fat had fat. Yet he was a 3 sport athlete who was going tp play other collegiate sports.

I heard from interviews with Furyk that he was a pretty good athlete in high school.

Furyk was a very good basketball player in high school
