Looking forward to the PGA at Medinah next weekend (do you get the impression I am a fan of the majors?).
Watching old PGA highlights on The Golf Channel, I must pay homage to Raymond Floyd in his prime:
- His swing was unconventional, and successful
- Fantastic putting stroke, the absolute of normal
- Made the concept of chipping from the fringe popular
- The cap tip has become a part of my normal mannerisms
What I never picked up on is the Floyd 'hole out and walk to the next tee, leaving the ball in the hole for the caddie to retreive'. He would do it from both inside two feet (when he could have reached over and picked the ball out of the hole) and when others still had to putt!
What a fantastic move.

Absolutely concur with your tribute to Raymond Floyd. Maybe if we had more players in the US with his cocky-but-sure attitude, we wouldn't suck so bad at the Ryder Cup each year.
