“Let’s be honest about this, it’s not like he was flushing it with Hank."

Robert Lusetich talks to Sean Foley who is less than bashful in sharing his views about Tiger's swing. Sit back and prepare for an entertaining read! My highlights:

“This is nothing against Butch (Harmon, who was Woods’ coach at the time) but trying to go back to that would be a huge mistake,” Foley said.

So much grey area. If he would just take a stance. I know, I know, he works for Tiger now. Wait...he works for Tiger now!

Naturally, I think it's brilliant of Tiger to let Foley talk all he wants. He's clearly smart, interesting and just provocative enough to get the focus on golf and the kind of petty dramas we've missed over the last year.

There's a whole bunch more of great interest in Lusetich's story, but personally I've always wondered when someone would question the origin of Stack and Tilt, a watered-down version of which Foley is accused of using.

Plummer and Bennett developed a system of hitting a golf ball called Stack and Tilt, which calls for players to keep their weight on their front leg throughout the swing.

Though hailed as revolutionary, it was met with derisive condemnation by the teaching establishment. Nonetheless, several players who switched to Stack and Tilt won on the PGA Tour, giving the method legitimacy.

Foley admits that he enjoyed discussing the intricacies of the swing with Plummer and Bennett, whom he likes and respects, but ultimately, he credits them with “maybe 5 percent” of the inspiration behind his own, very similar, swing ideas.

“Andy and Mike are very bright guys, but how much of what they teach is Mac O’Grady?” Foley said of golf’s Bobby Fisher, a tortured genius who’s spent years breaking down the secrets of golf.

“And how much did they take from (Sam) Snead and (Ben) Hogan? And how much of it is taken from (Isaac) Newton?”
