Someone just posted a comment on this article . Then I read that Tiger Jam IX will feature Sting and John Mayer. This reminded me of Deadspin's articles (see here and here .

C'mon, man, Sting and John Mayer? Seriously? Is Tiger the whitest black guy in the world or what?

P.S. Unlike the commenter in the first link, keep this discussion light, wouldja? And no, my use of the word "light" here was not an intentional pun. Shame on you if you thought so.

He maintains that he's not black, but multi-racial.

Besides... we all know Wayne Brady is the whitest black guy around!

I had to Google "Wayne Brady." Shows you how much I know about all that.

Promoting his efforts by using gangstas that degrade society and human life would tarnish all he is working for. His father said long ago that he has a greater purpose in life than winning golf tournaments.


Rap is to music as Etch-a-Sketch is to art. Tiger just has deeper tastses than the mediocre entertainment masses.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

Clearly you've missed out on the humor here. Have a laugh, lighten up.

Maybe Elin's influence has something to do with it...

Next up for discussion: Tiger's favorite foods! Do they include collard greens and fried chicken? Fuzzy thinks so.

Rap is to music as Etch-a-Sketch is to art.

Well Put! How about John Stewarts quote from the Oscars “For those of you keeping score at home, Martin Scorsese, zero Oscars; Three 6 Mafia, one.”

Just because someone is black does not mean they have to listen to bad music. It's not like all white people listen to good music right Ben? I agree it would definately go against what Tiger has come to stand for if he had guys singing "I'm in love with a stripper" or "It's hard out here to be a pimp" at his little Tiger Jam Plus what would Elin think.

Saying that all Hip-Hop and Rap is bad is like saying all Rock N' Roll is good.

I'll take your word for it. But, though I've heard plenty of good rock & roll over the years, I've yet to hear a decent rap offering. Wanna taste of some great music? - check out "Lightning in a Bottle" on DVD. (blues rules)

Its pointless to argue about music, its all about what you like. It would be like arguing about putting grips. You like left-hand-low? Awesome. Claw? Good for you. Belly-putter? Ok... now that one crossed the line

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
