The struggles continue for Lukey Luke. Hopefully Pat Goss can get him back on track.
 
Some interesting articles written on Luke lately. When he went to the new swing change, his short game fell apart and this is what gave him success. Pat has said that he has never seen Luke putt as well as he has lately. Problem is, he isn't taking it to the course in tournaments. I wonder if this is a mental thing. I'm still watching his every shot and cheering as loudly as ever.
 
A few years ago it was really a joy to watch Luke play; his irons and short game were incredible. Now it is painful to see him struggle with both his irons and putting. When he was playing well he was rarely double or triple bogeying a hole. It now seems that in every tournament he will get at least one or two double bogeys; the consistency just isn't there. Hopefully he will get it back.
 
Messing with your natural swing can do this to a player. He wanted to makeover his swing to give himself a better shot at winning that elusive major, but it did more harm than good it seems.
