Do you have a question for Pro V1x loyalist Hunter Mahan?

Hunter

Best of luck for the upcoming year.

My question:  What is the significance of the marking on your ball.  Is it an inverted V or a lucky symbol?

Denno

Deno,

That inverted "V" symbol is the Greek letter "L" [Lambda (uppercase Λ, lowercase λ; Greek: Λάμβδα or Λάμδα)]. The Spartans used the red Greek capital letter lambda (Λ) displayed on their shields as an identification as the people of Lacedaemonia (Λακεδαιμωνία), which in historical times, was the proper name of the Spartan state as used by Thucydides in his histories. The citizen of Lacedaemonia was called Lacedaemon.

I believe Hunter has used this symbol since the movie 300 came out.

Congrats on a Great 2010 season. I enjoyed watching you and your fellow pro's and look forward to 2011 season. My question is about ball selection. A lot of the discussion on this Web site is about amateurs choosing the right golf ball for their games. Maybe some advice from a pro such as yourself will better help us with this understanding.

Good luck on your season look forward to watching you.

Hunter:

Can you tell us how the New ProV1x plays for you compared to the last ProV1x version?  Thanks for your consideration, and good luck this season!

Hunter, Congrats on your season....Question regarding the new ball. What are the major differences you have found with the New ProV1? Have you had to make any modifications to your game?

Hunter,

How did playing at such an elite college, Oklahoma State, help your game grow and become really strong?  Also, how would you go about getting yourself noticed by colleges for golf?

Good luck this year!!!!

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for taking time to answer some questions from all of us.  My question is what is the hardest part about being on tour and what do you do to focus and compete every week?  As much as all of us dream about being a PGA Tour player, I am sure it has it's ups and downs like any career.  Good luck this year!!! 

Steve 

Hunter,

Congratulations on what has already been a terrific career and in advance for future triumphs, as I am sure there are more to come.  Thank you for representing our country with such grace and dignity, your display of emotion shared your patriotism and pride with us all, and did nothing but gain our respect.  My question for you is in regards to your golf swing.  Since working with Sean Foley, you have been able to become one of the better ball strikers on tour.  Your swing is now on 1 plane with a lot of shift to your left side at impact.  If you could share one feeling of change with the average amateur, what would it be? 

Best,

Chris

Hunter,

  My question is a mental one.  What do you do before a particularly important round?

Hunter - 

Awesome start to the season.

Do you still follow the Pokes sporting events or ever return to attend them?  Do you ever get out to play at Karsten Creek ?

HELLO HUNTER,  WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU TAKE FROM YOUR RYDER CUP MATCHES AND THE 2010 SEASON IN WHOLE AND HOW DO YOU PLAN ON BUILDING ON THEM IN 2011.   GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR. 

Hi Hunter,

How have the new grooves changed your course management, as we've heard and read that a lot of tour pro's will just rip the ball off the tee and not worry if it lands in the rough ?

                                                      Thanks for your time,

                                                                                    Johnny W.

Hunter,

                  First of all I want to wish you the best of luck this year! My question for you is: What is your favorite event to play in? Thanks!

Nate

Hunter,

You have earned yourself the reputation as a great all around driver of the golf ball with both good distance and great accuracy.  What is your key to consistency with your driving?  Do you have a favorite drill or tip to help with driver consistency?

Have a great season!

Rich

Great season last year Hunter and awesome job at the Ryder Cup, keep up the great golf this year! My question is how do you keep such a great tempo under so much pressure? It just looks effortless when you swing and I would like to know your drills you work on to train yourself to stay in such smooth tempo. Thanks Hunter, good luck!

Hunter:

Good luck in 2011!

How does fitness play a part in your game? What workouts can I do to make my game better?

Thanks!

Hi Hunter, I love your golf swing,and enjoyed your article in Golf Magazine with your 5 best moves. Can you give me some tips on driving distance and accuracy. Looking forward to watching you play this season.Just recieved Sean Foley  The Next Generation, its a great video. Thanks and good luck.   Charles

What does your workout each week consist of?

Do you do more cardio or weights? How much each day/week?

Hunter,

Congrats on a great 2010, and best of luck for 2011.  Since you were at the top of the golf world, playing on the Ryder Cup team, and playing well in the majors last year, what are your short and long term goals for the 2011 season?  Focusing more on the majors?  Presidents Cup Team? or weekly tour stops?

Patrick

Hey Hunter,

Congratulations for 2010. My question is, how do you believe College Golf prepared you for life on the tour? And if you would recommend it to aspiring golfers like myself. 

All the best for 2011.

Sam

when did you start playing ,and when you started did people tell you you had a gift or did you work for it or both

Mr. Mahan,

First off I want to wish you a great 2011 golf season! My question is how do you go about nerves on the golf course? I play in tournaments myself a few times a year and Im still really nervous when its time to hit the ball. Any tips?

Josh P.
