The common perception is that adding strength caused players to lose their touch for short game shots. Personally, I agree that it could cause them to play some shots too hard until they adjust i.e. strength and practice are two different things.
I jsut wish Bryson had done this without a whole bunch of isolation muscle activation hooha. I still think there is a lot for golfers to learn from discus throwers.
