I love John Daly, but what a whopping take he had on the Tiger Woods vs Jack Nicklaus debate.
Again, even such a great player as Daly demonstrates the woeful lack of knowledge of golf history that abounds today.

A Tiger Woods Clip Shows The Problem With Modern Golf – Internet Know-Nothings
I just came out of a Tiger Woods YouTube clip from 2020, and man am I depressed by the state of golf today.
I have wondered for a while what is wrong with Modern Golf, and I said recently in a comment that the proliferation of the internet in the 90’s was part of the problem.
Kyle Berkshire Nails The MCS Setup Theory
I haven’t invented anything with my work on the MCS Golf Swing models over the years – I spent the first part of my research looking only at the greatest swingers ever and compiling a list of things they did in common.
The first thing of course, was seeing that every great player in history when you talk of the absolute greatest swingers, used the Classic Golf Swing.
I Said It For Years About Tiger Woods, Now Jack Has Said It
Anyone who watched Tiger Woods dominate golf from 1997-2008 would know that it’s a very uncontroversial take to say that he could have and should have surpassed Jack Nicklaus’ 18 major titles, and easily.
I’ve said for years that Tiger probably should have won 25 majors due to his dominance, his talent, physical gifts and dedication to his craft
Tiger Woods – This Is The End
I haven’t posted anything recently because I’ve been at work on the “model for everyone.”
Meaning, I am working on the setup that allows one to swing with whichever arm they feel dominant, or both, for those who don’t feel they are using one arm over the other.
Re-Post About Jack Nicklaus vs Tiger Woods Eras
Back in June 2013, I posted the following on my old blog DJ Watts Golf (I’ve edited it slightly due to its age) about the ever-raging debate about who was greater, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods:
Someone finally had the wherewithal to do some number-crunching to put to rest the old canard that even if he never wins 18 majors, Tiger Woods is still better than Jack Nicklaus because Tiger won his majors against “better players” and “deeper fields.”
Jack Nicklaus’ Head Cock & Dunaway’s Head Shift
While working out the model I’ve been building of late, I fell across something that may have solved my issue of “head shift on the back swing or into the down swing, head shift at all or none” that has been on my mind.
First, does anyone remember how Jack Nicklaus used to get over the ball and, just before he began his backswing, he’d tilt his head to a certain spot and then swing?
Young Tiger Woods & Setup Issues
Just as the 3 most important things in real estate or property are Location, Location & Location, you will always hear my belief that the 3 most important parts of the golf swing are Setup, Setup and Setup.
Here is a driver swing from a young Tiger Woods, if you’ll allow me to point out things that would have concerned me at the time.
Tiger Woods Is Still So Good…
He literally shot -1 on one leg on Thursday and don’t let the +2 round yesterday fool you – after not playing in a Tour event in a year and a half, another back surgery and a shattered right leg, the man has scored better than all but 18 players thus far.
Granted it’s Augusta National where he could play blind-folded in the dark, but come on.
Imagine That Tiger Woods Had Been Taught This (Sam Snead)
I’ve called Sam Snead’s golf swing the greatest self-taught swing ever on the PGA Tour, and it’s no surprise that he was the leading total events winner until Tiger Woods caught him.
Now, imagine that instead of the horrific Modern Golf Swing model(s) that wrecked his body, starting with his left knee, Tiger Woods had been taught this action:
