Danny comes from Romsey, a town about 40km away from me. He has always been an outstanding golfer … great to see him make it on to the Euro Tour. (His brother Chris is also a professional.)
LOL. "Mr. Roboto", how appropriate. The funny thing is, I noticed that when he actually swings, his hands and arms don’t stay that far out in front of him. I happen to have recorded him long time ago in some tourney I wanted to tape and if you would just look at his swing and not his preshot routine or setup, it’s actually not too bad a swing. Kinda short, but the swing itself isn’t as bad as you anticipate it’d look considering how he looks when he’s setting up to the ball.

I’m sure there’s not much wrong with his mechanics. His set-up and pre-shot routine just looks awkward. Craig Spence was tied with Greg Norman coming up 18 in the Australian Masters a few years ago. Both were on the fairway, Spence a little behind Norman for the second shot. He then hit one of the best shots you would ever see … a drawing 6-iron from about 170m to a pin right at the back left part of the green. I was standing about 25m directly behind him, and it covered the pin all the way, finishing two feet from the hole. Shades of Shaun Micheel this year. Norman parred the hole and lost. It is still one of the most memorable shots ever to win a major Australian event. — Cheers Colin Wilson RSG Roll Call: http://rec-sport-golf.com/members/?rollcall=wilsonc Trentham Golf Club: http://www.trenthamgolf.com
