Tommy Moore was one of THE most knowledgeable golfers who could play, of all-time. He PLAYED the PGA TOUR, for over 5 years, won on the Nike Tour, etc. etc.
You would have to know Tommy and Rob could probably tell you millions of Tommy stories. So could Tom Bartlett, a great friend of his.
I have no opinion on his ball-striking anymore. I am sure he can hit it very well. I have seen him in person well prior to Tommy's round in Minn., and thought he was very impressive.
This is a long time ago ...but back in 91'or 92' when I was fresh out of college I was chasing the Monday qulaifiers of the Ben Hogan Tour...I got in Brierwood CC in Hamburg, NY I think I remember seeing the name Tommy Moore and if my memory serves me right(It may have bee elsewhere) ..Is he a LSU boy?...If yes...very good action if it's the same dude i think it is....I played with JC Anderson and Jeff Gallagher in te first 2 rounds after a MC.....JC....That dude was a real hoot...TGM too....We're standing on the green of a Par 5 on the back and someone went into a porta -john back up around the 150 yd marker just when JC's getting ready to putt...JC stops waits til the guy comes out...and yells "Are you Finished?"....Man the things we come up with when things aren't going our way..
Brian ...there is no need to apologize...you have every right to your opinion...due to your level of expertise......I just have a problem with people who bash ohters who don't have your level of expertise or have no personal account of the subject matter...
I have a lot of respect for Mac's ability, intellect, hard work....but that's about as far as it goes...I'm no longer inside the circle, (It was more like the circumference...LOL)...have no desire to be either....I get ton's of PM's concerning Mac and it is very flattering indeed..but it's not like I have this secret code to MORAD...I took a lot of notes ...Stayed with him at Sea Island...went to Palm Springs and Orlando...Watched him play at the CVS Charity and the BC Open when he played either a group ahead or behind Clearwater....took some very personal footage of him teaching not only myself...but my wife....I don't know why people would want that stuff unless they want to gawk over my beautiful wife who happens to have a better motion and figure than myself!!!!

My post wasn't meant to be a bash. I was just commenting, as the original poster, that the results aren't comparable with the attributes. You say, "he lost the instinct." I'll buy that. That would certainly be an intangible that could make the difference between shooting a 73 and a 68.
No, he didn't go to LSU. Tommy Moore went to Oklahoma State (ranked #1 in country as a junior). He was there with Tway, Verplank, Pfister, etc. His nickname was Doc. In 1991 he was full time on PGA Tour.
Thanks for the correction on Tommy Moore...I do recognize the name...just mistaken identity on my part....What happend to his game and what does he do now?
