<p>just my opinion, plus grounding a club aint gonna help jack with a ball poached in a bunker...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>bunkers arent really hazards in that sense IMO, some courses they are a bailout option, not to mention some courses have grass 'bunkers' where you are allowed to ground the club, and again, I dont think it would make any difference to your shot selection or execution if you grounded it or not form a bunker...</p> -
<p>she started the day behind the leader too didn't she, although had a lead after 9?</p>

So Lydia Ko has now parted ways with the David Leadbetter Academy, only weeks after ditching her caddie of the back of a pretty poor (by her standards) 3 or 4 months.
Leadbetter was interviewed on RS yesterday, and he says her parents are having a bigger input than he thinks is necessary, down to her dad given her swing advice recently as well.
Like everything, there will be his version, her version, her parents version and then the truth will be a mix...?

@taniwharugby how many golfers have fallen out with leadbetter over the years?
-
@dogmeat my understanding was one of his team in his academy was the main coach, but ultimately it sits under his 'brand'
I agree to a point with what you are saying, but with that, her caddie changes, the 'fallout' with Guy Wilson, it does seem external pressures too, and TBH, if her dad is trying to give her technical advice on her swing, while being coached by someone, that is always going to cause issues.
Have you listened to the interview, it sounds like he is pretty gutted about it, and feels that Lydia is doing far too much, and is getting fatigued.
That said, as above, there is his side, and there will be the other version.

Lydia Ko's former coach David Leadbetter reveals how their relationship disintegrated
In a 1,215-word post, David Leadbetter defended his work with former the former No. 1. Regarding her parents' influence he wrote: "We honestly felt that if the decision was left entirely up to her, that she would still be with us."
Was reading this a week or so ago. Seems pretty clear some bad decisions have been made.

Hmm do they travel everywhere with her? That would really cramp your style!! Interesting language around Mr Ko's lack of golf skills on that article

@mokey said in Lydia SUPERSTAR Ko:
@chris-b I keep hearing the same thing from those in the golfing world, that Lydia's parents are way, WAY too involved.
She's old enough to tell them to take a step back. But it would be bloody tough. Perhaps Mr Ko should leave the golf to the experts?
Lydia needs to listen to my old mate Bobby Brown

@mokey said in Lydia SUPERSTAR Ko:
@virgil She actually cried, so I can only imagine the monster pressure she has been under after all her upheavals. Really stoked for her, was a primo shot into the green for her eagle.
Hell I nearly cried while watching it at work!
Bloody amazing play off hole. Watched the last 9 holes and there was some quality golf in there. Lydia is hitting the ball a lot higher and further than before. Her short game was just amazing at times in this tournament. Multiple chip-ins and almost killed it with one on her first time down 18 yesterday.
