Chris DiMarco: Golf swing is all in the butt

Chris DiMarco said his renewed golf swing is all in the butt. As in, sticking it out.

“My wife said, ‘you used to stick your butt out like you were wearing a dress,’” DiMarco told the media after he fired a 68 in the first round at the Ballantine’s Championship in South Korea. “It’s amazing, the simplicity of it. Sure enough, that just kind of kicked everything right into gear and I have hit so many sold shots all week.

“I just kind of stuck my butt out a little bit to get my back straighter and my hips square,” DiMarco is quoted as saying by Reuters UK. “And I’ve been swinging nice and smooth. I know she likes looking at my butt, but when she notices it in my golf swing, then it’s something good.”

I think I’ll try it. I have the same problem DiMarco does – not a lascivious wife obsessed with my ass, my wife is more focused on my rippled abs – but a consistent pull where everything goes left.

I won’t be playing for a few days, but I’ll let you, the reader, know if butt re-positioning improves my game and, possibly my sex life.

On another note, it would be great to see DiMarco regain his form after some injury setbacks. He seems to be one of the few who isn’t intimidated by Tiger Woods.
