Is there a bigger Tiger hater than Brandel Chamblee? - Page 3

BC is excellent because love or hate him....viewers repond to his rants...

Bottom line on Tiger...If he returns to Florida and seclusion........with out playing the rest of the summer (Nationwide, Fall series, or European Tour)

his swing is not his biggest problem...........delusion is.........

and his own assessment of the state of his game has been way off for years.....

Delusion is no more of a problem for Tiger than it is for any successful/great professional athlete.

See I am not sure I can agree about Butch's swing or Haney's swing methods are the cause for tearing up Tiger's knee. I mean honestly if that is case, Tiger Woods is absolutely screwed for his future. I just don't see "how" their particular swings are the cause of his knee issues, and how Foley's swing methods are so "different" from the motion and torque of the body that is doesn't affect his left knee anymore.

My father, who knows nothing of the S&T methods, made an interesting comment about Tiger's post 1st round comments. He said the termniology Tiger kept referring to made it sound like he was in a cult or something, LMAO. I went on to explain to him that there is a community that follows the S&T methodologies and that many traditional golf analytics don't agree or respect it, but that the terms he is using refers to items related to S&T.

Unfortunately (perhaps for Tiger, perhaps for others), Tiger's not really learning S&T. He's learning what Foley picked up from Mike and Andy, mixed with whatever little he knew before-hand. Tiger would have never been swinging 10 degrees right like he was under a competent S&T guy.

Id be willing to bet Elin is still a bigger Tiger hater.

This guy is so in love with the sound of his own voice it's ridiculous!!! I wish Frank would man up and give him the bitch slap he deserves! STFU Brandel! You are not half as witty as you think you are!

Nah, when it comes to wit Brandel is exactly at the 50% mark.

"Hate" is not a crime.  And on what grounds/basis should threads like this be deleted?

We're all getting too serious and it's not even winter.

Tiger's situation reminds me of Ben Hogan's: not overtly friendly with the media, believes his game should stand for itself, etc etc. 

The problem that I have with Chamblee is that he never appears to acknowledge anything that Tiger does well. If he hits a poor shot, then he's lost it and he needs to find another way. If he hits a good shot, it's mostly silence. Chamblee, also, seems to operate on the old ball flight laws, and misses a lot of calls when he's describing a Tiger mis-hit. It's just frustrating that someone who was actually on tour, played well enough to be recognized, and seems to be an overall intelligent person, continually puts out poorly informed analysis.
