Where is Amleto Monacelli
« on: February 12, 2007, 06:22:48 AM »
Where has Amleto been lately?  I haven't seen him in any tournament since late last year?  Is he injured or having some other problem?  I heard that he and his wife divorced but I don't know if that is the cause of his absence.

If he's having marital problems, that certainly would be a good excuse to lay off the tour.  Stay home and work it out instead of going off on tour in another country for weeks at a time.

It's a bummer, whatever the reason.  I always liked watching him and he hasn't been on TV enough in the last few seasons.

He's been hanging out with Brian Voss. They are both on the Nowhere To Be Found List.

From what I understand he has a hip injury.

Who misses Brian Voss? Certainly not me.


What is wrong with Brian Voss?  I like his style.  It is smooth and cool.  He lays the ball out there and it slowly hooks right into the pocket.  Brian Voss has the classic hook.

Anyone know what happen to Voss? at least he usually makes tv a few times a year. Hes been nowhere to be found this year.


Hip problems, I believe.  They mentioned it a while back on the show (?) and he may have withdrawn one week for it towards the beginning of the season.

In the same stroke, what happened to Mike Machuga. He had such a great season last year, and i thought after his first title, he would get even better. He has been seemingly invisible this year. Anyone know why hes struggling? I love his game


I have a pretty good guess.  Everytime I see him in practice, he is practicing his SKILLS CHALLENGE shots.  I don't see him working on his mechanics much.  And everyone saw his Machuga flop.  That definately WAS NOT the first time he did that either.  I bet he had practiced doing that before too.  I am not saying I am better than him but I just don't think he takes the tour as serious as some others might.

He does the flop pretty regularly at pro-ams.  Practicing it, I don't know, but he's done it before.

He's seriously off-track if he's practicing his trick shots instead of his fundamentals.  They said that before his win last year, he was the best on tour without a title.  While he's got his title now, he's still got plenty of game and if he doesn't use it, he'll lose it.

Machuga is part of the party every night club on tour, there are a few guys that like to party to much. Anyone who really knows these guys know what i am really talking about without accusing them.

The funny part is a few guys in the club are bowling better this year, i guess the partying makes them relax easier. OOps my toe hurts
