The Tube

Each week I feature a golf video from YouTube in my regular posts. I've collected all of those videos on this page to make it easier to browse or look for something specific.

There's some great stuff here, so enjoy!

The Tube: Indulge in the best slow motion golf videos on the web

July 4, 2010

I’m finally investing some time to properly analyze my golf swing in an attempt to correct some fundamental swing flaws. After seeing my swing on video a few times now, I reckon I’ll need to invest a lot of time! I did come away from the range today with renewed optimism, having successfully applied a [...]

The Tube: Tom Watson Chip-In at the 1982 US Open

June 5, 2010

“I thought it was over, I thought I had won the tournament” were Jack Nicklaus’ words from the clubhouse when Tom Watson hit his 2-iron into the gnarly fescue grass to the left of Pebble Beach’s 17th green. It was the closing stages of the 1982 US Open and Watson was about to chip in [...]

Jack Nicklaus reckons Tiger will play in the Masters this year……let’s hope he’s right.

The Tube: Vijay’s Hop, Skip and Dunk

February 28, 2010

Plenty of people have seen Vijay’s hole in one during Tuesday practice at the 2009 Masters, but just in case you missed it, here it is.
It’s apparently a long standing tradition for players to skip the ball across the water during practice on 16 after hitting their tee shots. No-one has executed quite like Vjiay. [...]

The Tube: Justin Leonard and THAT Ryder Cup

February 21, 2010

I was watching one of the PGA Tour’s ‘Outside the Ropes’ interviews the other day, this one with Justin Leonard. In it he mentions the 1999 Ryder Cup and 1997 British Open wins as his most memorable moments as a professional golfer, saying that he couldn’t choose one over the other.
It says a lot about [...]

The Tube: A look inside the PGA Tour’s Shotlink

February 13, 2010

I read an interesting article over at Sandbox8.com recently about Shotlink, the system used by the PGA Tour to gather and analyze stats for all of the PGA Tour events.
I’ve wondered how the commentators know, for example, that Phil Mickelson has holed 156 out 165 putts inside 5 feet this year, or that Steve Stricker [...]

February 7, 2010

I read recently at Golfweek.com that Jean Van de Velde had failed to qualify for the 2010 Asia Tour, after recently moving to Asia for family reasons. It got me thinking about THAT 72nd hole at Carnoustie in 1999.
So, I went in search of some footage on YouTube to reminisce and came across this interview [...]

This is the second tragedy to befall Green in the last 8 months, following the death of his brother and girlfriend in a motor vehicle accident in June last year. Green badly [...]

The Tube: Slammin’ Sammy Snead

January 23, 2010

EHM3ST72VA59 I recently read an article on Sam Snead over at ‘Armchair Golf Blog’, which prompted me to go in search of his swing on YouTube. I’m glad I did because I found this fantastic 5 min ’swing collection’.
Snead was considered by many to have the ‘perfect swing’…….hard to argue with that. This swing won [...]
