Yes, K.J. Is Really Putting This Way...

...I had to see it to believe that K.J. Choi had gone all Sam Snead on us. For some reason I don't think I'm going to run up to Ladbrookes to place a bet after seeing this:

I like the fact that it looks illegal.

[Joey]

It is only illegal if it is between his legs.

That's what Tiger said.

I knew Randy Haig was a forward thinker

[Used to be former S & T Convert]

I saw Snead have some good putting rounds that way.

Read the book " Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia" by Dr. David Cook and you will at least consider the method.

KJ Choi: OUT!

Any human being that has to result to that kind of putter, that kind of stance and stroke will be on the first plane back to Seoul!

[Tommy Naccarato]

Well, I just took a group of kids out on the practice green for lessons and instantly four putted three of the four greens we played.

KJ Choi: IN
Tommy Naccarato: OUT!

The Parallax View.
Made for a great movie. Not sure it translates that well to putting.

[Barkley]

Even I can lag a three footer closer than that.

That surely can't be effective in hitting long putts (which there can be plenty of at TOC) on slowish greens (reportedly stimping below 10).

I thought KJ was a pretty solid putter. Obviously he doesn't think so.

[Glyn]

Is he curling or putting?

[Del the Funk]

Seriously guys, that's nothing more than an open stance...think about it.

[Rohan]

Saw him on the highlights of a recent PGA Tour tournament - two lengthy putts, both went in. There could be something to it

[Press Agent]

A guy in my foursome putts this way and he's damn hard to beat. I think it should be illegal, once they get the hang of it, it's much much easier.

[Del the Funk]

What would the rule say?

"No open stances allowed"....??

If that were the case would Pelz's one-hand backwards wedge chipout then be declared illegal???
