Well, the media will be flooding the world with talk about who's the best during the Barclay's .  It seems that Tiger and Rory will be paired together, for at least the first 2 rounds of the tournament.  Tiger has committed to playing the event which means

Quote:
barring any serious changes, that commitment means fans won't have to wait until the Ryder Cup to see Woods and Rory McIlroy go head to head, according to PGATour.com . As No. 1 (Woods) and No. 2 (McIlroy) in FedEx Cup standings, the pair will play side-by-side during their first two trips around the Black Course in the tournament's top threesome.

I can only imagine what all talk will be generated from this pairing.  Each reporter will be chomping at the bit to be the first to post a "Tiger's done" headline or a "Rory is better than Tiger" headline.  It should be entertaining.

With that being said, I think it will be a great group to watch.  Dufner could be the third guy in the group.  If Tiger and Rory don't watch out, Dufner might sneak away with the spotlight.

What do you guys think about the pairing?

I expect that Tiger vs Rory will be a big headline in golf for the remainder of the year, at least, and if both keep on as they're currently playing, it will be THE story next year.  I don't really care who ends up on top, but I'd love to see these two battle it out and really separate themselves from the rest of professional golf.  Would make for the most exciting thing to happen in golf since maybe the Tiger slam.

Maybe Rory is just what Tiger needs!

They've played together a few times already this year, and nothing spectacular happened. I don't expect that to change. Afterall in a strokeplay tournament the players don't play against each other, especially not on the first 2 days.

I'd just like to see them re-unite in the last group on Sunday.  THAT is the real match-up.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Tiger and Rory going into Sunday tied up would be excellent.

That would definitely call for a very early tee-off for me, say 7am since the sun is rising later, followed by lighting the grill with a case of Heineken's for that match.

EDIT: Who am I kidding, that's my plan for Sunday regardless!

I'm always pulling for Tiger or Phil and I'm probably one of the few that root for both of them, with Tiger having an edge with me. I really don't care so much for Rory, but I would love to see how he handles the pressure of playing on Sunday grouped with Tiger. Not just Tiger, but Tiger in contention and on the prowl bringing straight fire.

I'm sure you could get the grill going with a case of Heineken, but don't you think a much better plan would be to drink the Heineken and light the grill with lighter fluid or a chimney starter.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
