Inbee Park

[Sweep]

I am sitting in my hotel room in Lanzarote watching Canal + Golf ( yes, a dedicated golf channel for European peeps - why can't we have one?) and they are showing live coverage of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco (albeit with Spanish commentary). Inbee Park is winning. Have you seen her swing? With all due respect to her, if I didn't know who she was I would have said she had a 30+ handicap. Her swing is 3/4 at most, her grip is all over the place and her eyes are almost on the target as she strikes the ball. Just goes to show, there is no right or wrong way to play this game.

It's a joke swing.....it's about time they introduced scoring for golf like they do in Ski Jumping.......so many points for distance and so many for style..........her swing and Michelle Wie's putting style have made my eyes bleed.......

Very strange action indeed and yet it clearly works for her ... Furykesque repeatability! I was in bed last night before she finished but she was running away with it.

She looks effortless as well, while hitting it miles further than my best efforts..... much to my annoyance!

It's not how but its how many!

Michelle wie putting style is awful

So what would you give yourself Rick?

Very impressed and has a style thats definitely not textbook. I respect that.

Seems such a slow swing speed yet smacks it further than her playing partner Salas, whose speed could rivals some mens. Amazing!

Her bank manager may disagree with you

I love the LPGA, £5 on Phatlum @ 66-1 would make me love it even more tonight

Not arguing that it isnt effective......just visually unappealing...Id just rather watch nice golf swings....
