Will Hunter's coach, Sean Foley, become Tiger's new coach?

When Hunter Mahan isn't working on his game with the ClubFace Swing Trainer, he goes to Canadian born swing guru, Sean Foley, in Orlando. Other players working with Foley are Sean O'Hair, Stephen Ames, and Justin Rose to name a few. Foley is known as a very cerebral teacher who feels that staying centered over the ball is very important. It should be interesting to see if Tiger works more with him over the next few weeks. With the upcoming Captain's picks for the Ryder Cup due on September 7th, if Captain Pavin choses to add Tiger to the team, it might mean a possible pairing with Hunter in the fourball and foursome matches.

How about that PGA Championship at Whistling Straits? It's old news now, but the blame for Dustin Johnson's blunder on the 72nd hole is still looking for a scapegoat. You can try to place it on the marshals, the rules official, the caddie and maybe even the architect, Pete Dye, but ultimately, it lays squarely on the players shoulders to know when they are in a bunker. And, give Dustin Johnson credit, he took it like the true sportsman he is. He'll have another shot at a big title. This writer just hopes he can change his closed club face position at the top of the back swing that causes him to block shots to the right occasionally. Maybe he should work with a ClubFace Swing Trainer?
