Good stat Turtleback,nothing like a good fact to back up a statement.

FWIW, you have only come up with two wins where Tiger has left the driver in the bag. As opposed to alllllllll the other ones out there. So fact: On occasion Tiger has decided not to hit driver and won. Reason: The driver was wonky that week but he still had the game to pull it off. He's not going to win a Masters or a U.S. Open that way. He knows it.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I agree Jamo,the big stick needs to come out at some point.I feel that he can still hit irons off of the tee on certain par 4's at the majors.But he will need to pull the trigger to cut those corners and not settle for a 4 iron that lands right at the dog leg. Irons off of the tee are just hiding his discomfort with the club,i am pretty sure he will figure it out and get the confidence to hit the driver.It's not like Tiger has ever lead the PGA in driving accuracy,what saves him is the ability to scramble and save par,then just eat up the par 5's.

I am sure Tiger would rather put time in to try and fix his driver, then give up and stop using it

If you're going to try to be the forum police, franky, please don't make five posts in a row instead of using multiquote. It's an obnoxious waste of space.

Effort to straighten out the path.  Tiger tends to stay closed for too long on the downswing, path too far out to the right.  This new feel helps things and at least give him a pattern and takes out the big miss left which he fears.


Lol, on sirius XM's golf station they had about 9 different "experts" try to answer this question to all the callers who called in, and not one of them was able to answer it. Instead, they went on these deranged "Faldoesque" rambles that was mostly mumbling and stuttering. I tried to call in, but got a busy signal. After each answer though, the hosts would say "great insight there." Uhhhhh, they just said absolutely nothing.

I've seen a few multiquote posts that could easily qualify as an obnoxious waste of space, but in this instance I concur.

And that's my last comment on this particular silly season event which going forward will not have Chevron as a title sponsor.

Maybe next year it will be named "Tiger & Friends"!

I thought the term had already been coined for this type of event - "___insert predator nickname___ Shootout".

Actually the reason he didn't hit driver at Hoylake had nothing to do with a wonky driver and everything to do with dried out fairways that gave so much run out that control was impossible with a driver.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Nah I don't think so since I suppose it will be more than only Tiger and Zack, but I maybe wrong, I think "Tiger & Friends" sounds better anyway!

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
