Do you picture any tour pro's swing when you are playing? Try to copy anyones tempo, finish, or any certain move? It depends on the day, but I always picture either Fred Couples, Retief, or Phil.

Mine is more like Rodney Dangerfields.

Aaron Baddeley.

I swing my own swing. But pro-swings do often pop into my head after I swing, based on the feel of the swing. Sometimes I end up in an Ochoa followthrough, sometimes I hit an abbreviated Mickelson iron-shot, sometimes I have Singh's sloppy followthrough, sometimes I have a clean and simple Appleby or Sorenstam swing, occasionally a Sabbatini-like swing escapes me, etc.. etc..

i finish like ernie els with the slow follow through but before my swing i always think of ernie's swing. nice and easy

The swing that I most closely emulate, though not intentional is that of the one and only Charles Barkley.

Seriously though, it's not that bad, but it's pretty close.

I swing my own and look to see who is most like me. My swing (not to sound arrogant) is pretty close to a pros swing minus the dedication and certain perfections. Used to play in college and teach. My swing looks a lot like Zach Johnsons as far as today's pros go. Growing up I liked Curtis Strange, Nick Faldo and Tom Watson. I liked Jack Nicklaus' tips on keeping your head steady.

Everyday I wish I did not burn out on golf at 21....

Adam Scott.

Not really, my backswing used to resemble John Dalys but my golf pro quickly rid me of that at an early age. My finishing position is more Roy McAvoy than anything else.

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.

Really no one, with 2 caveats.

1. I would be very happy if my swing plane looked the same as Morgan Pressel's.

2. Same with the follow through of Tiger Woods.

Other than keeping my club on plane (I have a one plane swing), staying in balance and in good tempo, and having the right follow through, I don't care who's swing mine looks like.
