David Leadbetter on Golf Fix

David Leadbetter was recently on the Golf Fix and chatted with Michael Breed.  He talked a lot about how important is the proper sequence of motion in the golf swing, and a little bit about what he is working on with Lydia Ko.  I found it pretty interesting.

David Letterman and Golf

One of my heroes is David Letterman.  I grew up watching Letterman.  I would tape Late Night every night and watch half of it the next day when I was getting ready for school and the second half when I would get home.

Dave is retiring, so I did a search for Dave and golf and this is what I found.

Years ago Dave took part in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.  Here is his tale of his week at Pebble Beach.

And then there was this clip from way back in the NBC days of Biff Henderson’s Golf Cart of Death.

I miss Dave already.

 

Rory McIlroy Rides Third-Round 61 to Wells Fargo Win

Rory McIlroy won the Wells Fargo Championship in record-setting fashion, finishing at 22-under par. On his way to victory, McIlroy broke his own course record with a third-round 61.  Here are the highlights of the 61.

This wasn’t Rory’s first time shooting 61.  He did it 10 years ago as at 16 year-old at Royal Portrush, and here are the highlights of that round. It’s kind of cool watching this, especially how the crowds are all walking down the fairway with him as he plays.
