Re: Whose swing do you emulate?

I don't try to emulate anyone, but I started playing golf in the Nicklaus/Palmer/Trevino era, so the swing models we were looking at were a little bit different than what we see today. Being long and lean, my swing more closely resembled that of a Tom Weiskopf or a Johnny MIller. Adam Scott would probably be something of a modern day equivalent to those guys.

Like birdie3, I had a pretty good swing back in the day, just lacked the consistency that only comes through practice...and real talent, of course. I would like to incorporate some of Freddie Couples' languid rhythm into my swing, but at the same time, I have to be true to myself. If my tempo gets too loose, I tend to decelerate and hit chunkers all over the course.
