I'm convinced, and if you aren't too, then you're insane!

Tiger didn't make a single putt over 15'! He had a disastrous finish at the Barclays, and he was closer to the cut line than the leaders after two days!

His putting has never looked worse! He should go back to, uhhh, me as his teacher. Clearly Hank Haney has completely botched Tiger's putting stroke. Not to mention every other part of his game. He's barely won five times this year, missed a cut in a major and didn't win any of the others, and is only clinging to a tiny lead in the FedExCup playoffs and the OWGR!

Oh, and having a family has screwed him up too. And that Tigerade he drinks, it's garbage, it makes his hands shake and gives him the yips!

I don't think so. This was the first time they have played this course. Everyone had problems with their putting. I think he was just misreading the greens. I mean the putts were breaking like crazy! 2 or 3 breaks in most of the putts!

uh oh ... you should've put the "[sarcasm]" in the thread title. People are going to race to this thread!

**since we're on the Barclays, it's still amazing to me how consistently Tiger places in the top 10. That's almost as impressive as his wins imo.

I agree he was having trouble reading the greens on a course he was unfamiliar with. He is the most studied player in the game and he doesn't miss that put on almost all the other courses he plays. As for him returning to you butch, I look no farther than the terrible job you did with my boy Ernie. Ernie yesterday credited his recent success with his return to his old swing. All you did was mess him up for a couple of years.

That birdie putt that tiger had on 18 was misread several times, if i remember. Stricker had almost the same putt and missed it the same way that tiger did.

Ernie seemed pretty happy with the OP's work yesterday when he was interviewed after his round. If I recall correctly he credited Butch for getting him back on track.

The yips in putting usually impact the 3 to 5 foot range not the 15' range. His stroke also looked good nothing jerky or broken in it. Not like a Billy Mayfair or even a Steve Marino looking putt.

I think Tiger's putter may be bent. Either 10º upright, or to about 10º loft.

This is all I can figure.

When I saw his putt on 18, I thought....hmm...not as much follow-through as usual for Tiger. But then IIRC looked like he missed high (left), so. We all get to miss some of the time. Tiger's stat was that he makes 90% of putts from that distance. 90% isn't 99.99% - he misses 1 out of 10. That was the 1. Poor timing, but he would have come in 2nd anyway...

Tiger is pretty much done. Doomed to have the same putting woes as Arnold Palmer as he aged. Look for him to try out a belly putter next week.

At least the later posters seem to have read the sarcasm that was there (and stated outright). Thanks for restoring a little of my faith in mankind.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
