anyone know what shoes Beemer is wearing in the Thursday pics? (white sneaks)
Am wondering the same thing.  Having foot problems and Beem's shoes look real comfortable.

I looked at other pics from his round with Streels and they seem to be Eccos

Earlier in this thread someone said they recently saw Duval at a range in Colorado practising in poor conditions.  They also said he was driving a Porsche Carerra GT.  He is now almost done with the 2nd round and currently tied for 135th out of 142 left in the field.  Now we know what really happened. "Honey, I need to go to the range and hit some balls to get ready for the tournament this week".  What he really wanted to do was excersize his Porsche and get out of the house for a few hours, not hit balls on the range.  Who would want to hit balls when you could be driving THAT car?!

I don't mean to offend....but David Duval doesn't even "look" like he can play.   From the ill fitting attire,  to the off balance swings just a total shame.  I am not so sure John Daly isn't a more polished professional at this point.

I know he is a nice guy, but jeeeez!  He couldn't place in our local City Amateur.

To me James Driscoll looks  to be the most "muscled" tour member.  Camillo is like gymnast or a jockey, Tiger and some others looks to have worked hard and built up some muscle, but Driscoll REALLY DOES look more like an NFL safety more than anybody else out there.

Can we please stop the Camilo is  jacked comments. Yes, he is in good shape but he is 155 pounds. He is tiny in person.  If you want to see someone jacked, look up photos of Tim Tebow golfing. He is every bit of 240 and ripped.

Chicks love their gear. As I guy that's pretty active the stuff that I own has been on par or better than UA, Nike, etc. In fact their undies :birthday:  are perfect when teeing it up during the summer time.

I know.  Love the guy but if he wants to re-kindle the game, the first place he should look to correct what's wrong is his body type.  He is the polar opposite body type that he was when he was #1.

Large isn't working.  And while there are plenty of heavy PGA Tour guys out there, I don't see any in the top 20...

From Luke to Adam Scott, DJohnson to Kaymer...they are all VERY fit.  Phil is the heaviest dude in the top 20 and he is #17 and slipping.

Maybe you should look back to the picture of Duval when he made the final putt for the 59 he shot in this same tournament lo so many years ago. He didn't look too much like a "player" then either and I wouldn't say his clothes looked like the proper fit! He looked like he was wearing his bigger brother's hand me downs. It really shows how much has changed in the past decade.

You have a point, but does Charl Schwartzel look like a fit specimen.  Both he and Watney are quite skinny.  But there is something about excessive weight and the golf swing.  You tire easier - and while the obese golfer may not feel exhausted at the end of his round, the fit or slender person definitely worked less hard getting around the course. It effects you mentally.


Let's say David Duval weighs 40lbs more now than he did in his performance years.  I don't know how much more he weighs but let's say he weighed 175 back then and he weighs 215 now.  Just a ESTIMATION. It could be more.

A 1 gallon jug of milk weighs 8 lbs.  So take the old Dave and have him replay his practice rounds an 4 hole tourney with 5 milk jugs full of milk tied to his frame.  That's a huge difference and really fatigues you over 18 holes (5-6 miles) per day.

You're joking right?  He's not playing well and didn't play well in 2011 but 2010 was a good year and he got 2nd in a major in 2009.  A little harsh to say he couldn't place in the local City Am.

At 145lbs, I will have to take your word for that  ;)

I love looking at these pics, And thanks for the effort in putting them up.

One suggestion. If you ask a question about a certain pic maybe put that pic in your post, Or let us know what page it is on.

As the week goes on there are so many pics to look at and when I see a post that interests me I have to scan thru all the pics to find the one you are talking about.

Thanks and it is only a suggestion..

Seems easy to take shots at Duval for his attire and struggling game. He has fallen and not been in contention many times over the last decade. Still, at 40, why can't he have a 2nd shot in his 40's a la Stricker and Toms?  I'd love to see him get his game back and contend a few times. Maybe it's wishful thinking but it is certainly possible. It's not like many people expected DC to win the claret jug last year!
