Bryson is a young lad. I think he will be fine if he stays away from the Navy SEALs workouts for the sake of working out.We'll have to wait and see how BD does over the course of the next 5 years.

That is interesting and I can see that. In golf I'm kind of surprised because it potentially can be a sport a person can play for a long time and enjoy and still make money. While I'd like to enjoy life in my 60's and retire, I'd sure like to play and still make money?!I heard an interesting discussion on PGA radio this morning.They were talking about the injury to Koepke, and how his body style may have been contributing to his injury, and the talk got into longevity. One of the hosts brought up a good point, and instead of players playing competitively until the champions tour, maybe some have the new attitude of building up the body and go as hard as you can for 10-12 years and make as much money as you can and have a shorter career like those in other sports, so that you can retire (like the rest of us who want to save up enough so we don't have to work anymore). Interesting perspective.

The last couple of pages of the thread are interesting. Not sure why people hate on BDC but to each their own. I kinda like him. He had a theory, he changed his body dramatically - apparently through hard work and diet - and he’s proving a lot of the so called experts wrong. I find what he’s doing to be kind of fascinating and compelling.
On the flip side, strength training strengthens connective tissue as well as muscles - so it could end up having a net positive effect upon their longevity. It also has an effect upon the nervous system, improving both muscle fiber recruitment and rate coding, which could have a net positive effect upon their swing.I heard an interesting discussion on PGA radio this morning.They were talking about the injury to Koepke, and how his body style may have been contributing to his injury, and the talk got into longevity.

No rules expert here, but I'm guessing it was because he was allowed to place the ball after two unsuccessful drops. If he had to use one of his drops, I don't think he would have been allowed to touch the ball after the drop because it was then in play. I don't think there's a rule saying you can't align the ball when placing it - but it was smart of him to ask to make sure.I was surprised that he was allowed to line it up like a putt, but he clearly asked and was allowed to do it by the rules official, so who can fairly fault him?

Interesting look at his swing then and now..
Guy was like a robot 5 years ago!
It still is single plane, for good or bad, but it is a very smooth, sequenced swing for sure.I think that swing in 2016 looked great! Crazy to see the size difference as well.

It’s funny. When I watch his swing since the bulking up, “mechanical” is exactly the word that comes to mind. As I have gotten older and look at my swing, I am just a fraction of his ballspeed, but my swing looks much more mechanical than it used to and it bugs me to no end.It for sure looks less mechanical though. Which I think is a good thing. I think him stepping a bit back from trying to be an iron Byron is a good move..

This is pretty funny.
It is funny. I know you know this, but he used the old driver specifically because it was shorter and played well for every hole NOT #6.
