Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 09, 2012

That’s what they said to me in prison.

That’s what his first coach told Righty Mickelson.

Only been saying that for two days now… ;)

Oh, no! The changeable face affliction has struck Steve. The guy in panel 2 and the guy in panel 3 look like fraternal twins at best, certainly not like the same person. And he was much better looking a few days ago, right after he shaved off his beard. Maybe the strain of playing golf is aging him. He wouldn’t be the first.

With JJ’s help, Steve’s gonna swing both ways and double his efforts.

“Are you naturally right handed, like this abnormally large right hand of mine I’ll position prominently here in P2”

That playing lefty suggestion sure made him happy!But I don’t get why it’s better to play the opposite side. Don’t you lose a lot of power that way? I equate it to a tennis stroke – hitting backhand instead of forehand. Not that I’ve ever played golf one-handed.

I’m not a golfer, but must be something to it if the pro is suggesting it.

Phil Mick is a righty who learned to play lefty as a kid while standing opposite his dad and emulating his swing.I think it’s going to work for Steve because Molly will be on his bag.

Like the difference between a backhand and a slap; he’ll have more power and control pulling the clubhead through the ball than if he tries to slap the ball.

Is this guy trying to make Steve ambidextrous?

Ever wonder how switch hitting baseball major leaguers swing a golf club. ?

I would give mt right arm to be ambidextrous.

He’s been getting a lot of sunlight, making the freckles more obvious.Should wear a hat and sunscreen.

p2 – kudos to Rod Whigham for employing an up-shot, if only by way of variation – Gil Kane would approve
