You ever think about how Rory Mcilroys ball flight is poorly suited for where he grew up?

Of course he does but it’s not his go to and really he’s pretty bad at it comparatively to his other golf skills. Just interesting for a Northern Ireland guy

He's been playing all over the world since his teenage years.

It's not like he was in some faraway corner of the world and finally ventured out when he was 25

He has the ability to hit it low… 2 iron at the Scottish last year is an example. Recently, he hit multiple bullets with driver at the US Open that never got more than 50 ft off the ground.

This ^^^ He just used this ball flight to lose by 1 at the us open. He used his driving iron today flighted and hit it in the shite. The shot that got him in trouble was a mini flighted wedge on 8 just a hair right. Wheels fell off from when he left it in the bunker on 8.

I thought his course mgmt. was awful, hitting driver where he shouldn't. Again something a new caddie could possibly correct at least a little. Or have him just reset himself during instances where shite's hitting the fan.

His ball flight was the least of his issues. Especially the way he rolled it and the way he hit his driver/irons. His whole game was arse...it's golf these days happen to the best of em.

It is interesting. He has stated in interviews that he prefers American-style golf to links-style.
