Golf

Did you realize that the top 4 players in the world are all Europeans?

1. Kaymer
2. Westwood
3. Donald.
4. McDowell
This hasn't happened since the Faldo, Woosman, Lyle, Seve years.
We should have see this coming with the Ryder Cup dominance, it has turned into a European fanfest spectacle. 

More is coming with McIroy and Casey a couple of wins away.  They are climbing fast to pass the Tigerless and Phil at 5 and 6 slot.

My Rant:
The cause is something you have heard me scream about for years, the "Cookie Cutter" teachers in America making everyone swing the same way.  They take originality away from the young guns with the mental requirements and teach them to be robotic.  Thus they lose the ability to grow into their own movements.
 
Someone has to let the players have flaws and NO FEAR!  I always fear the player.
How can a player go real low and score with thoughts of an unnatural swing in the back of his mind?  
Speaking from personal experience (I know I am not on that level), the worse thing in golf is high pressure and thinking about mechanical thoughts.  It creates tension in your swing and the putting stroke suffers with your lack of easy putts from easy putts.

S,
I started complaining about this when it started in the 80's. 

People just have different muscle and ligament elasticity and I absolutely believe that letting a person get in a groove naturally allows for greatness. Tiger never had the prototypical coaching and dominated, Phil refused to let his swing become mechanical and is a hall of famer. Tiger is a just freak of nature with his mental approach to putting and explosion, this is the same characteristics Jack Nicklaus dominated with during his time.  Tiger has now fallen because he became mechanical in his approach to golf and forgotten what we learn as kids, No Fear is more fun and contagious.
