Isn't the ability to adjust to changing equipment an indicator of greater ability, not less?

I think most would argue that the equipment has made the game a little easier, so adjusting to it has hardly been a challenge for the likes of Tiger. Or even Fred Funk, for that matter.

But the rejoinder to the "equipment is better" argument is that courses have gotten a lot longer since Arnie/Jack/Gary days. All of which proves that you and Rocky are both right: it's hard to compare players from different eras. Suffice to say, they were both great. And I have no doubt that, barring an injury, Tiger will get more than 18.

Jack is the best because when he was playing they all played for titles and trophies. He didn't play for millions of dollars.

Being from Columbus Ohio, gotta vote for Jack.

Ditto. Although I have grown up in the "Tiger Era" I had to vote for Jack. Us Buckeyes have to stick together.

In my Pro-Walker stand bag:

Driver: Founders Club "The Judge" Graphite shaft (benched for bad play)
3-wood: 15* steel shaft
5 & 7-wood: Velocitized BBT Oversized Graphite Shaft Medium Flex 21* & 25*3-iron: Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge (benched for bad play)4-SW: Maker's Pride irons steel shaftsP...

I wasn't alive at jack's prime so I go with tiger being the greatest golfer, also tiger can rip it further, has a better short game, and he's a built athlete, what else is their to say?

Gotta go with Jack...18 majors baby!!

Tiger is the best to ever hold a club. He'll prove me correct over the next 8 years.
I'd have said that there were better ball strikers a few years ago, but Tiger has taken care of that deficiency in his game. Trevino, Nicklaus, Snead or Hogan with modern equipment, (in their respective primes [which Tiger isn't in yet]) might have challenged his as the outright best a few years back, but Tiger has stepped into another dimension with recent changes in his game. note: Each of those greats mentioned above didn't EVER have the short game that Tiger has- so now there is little debate.

I will have to say Tiger. I have never seen Jack play. I think athletes get better as time goes by in all sports. Not taken away from the older guys people are just bigger, faster, and stronger. I am new at golf so what I am saying my not make a lot of sense. On Jacks side, he did not have the technology in the clubs that today's players have. So I really don't know but I am going to go with Tiger because I think he has gotten me and a lot other people into the game.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
