Or any big name!

its Tiger this and Tiger that!

he’s lousy! 3 or 4 over and some nobody is 6 to 8 under on the day and is lighting it up and never gets mentioned! And its Tigers pic on pga app too every time!

sometimes I think the pros are nothing more than prostitutes! 
selling out the game of golf for a buck!

and it the working man who suffers, who can’t afford to play cos the pros and manufacturers drive up the cost and put it out of reach of the ordinary working man! Shame!

I love seeing big names teeing it up, especially in majors. I also love seeing them playing well, but I also like to see an underdog top the leaderboard every once in a while. While I get your point that the big-name pros may be on the highlight reel a little too much, well, they’re not called “big names” for nothing, are they?

I’m really an easy going laid back sort of guy! But golf gets me going!

I love to see a good chip in or a hole out from the bunker! 
There you are! That’s not negitive or critical!

While your opinion may have a valid point, Tiger drives the TV ratings which bring in the big money.   When he's not playing the advertisers don't get the same bang for their buck.

The constant coverage of Tiger when he's playing is my favorite part of it.  This means I can turn on the TV and see how he's doing.

I'm watching a tape delayed version. I'm with the OP. Gee, I could be watching the noncompting, club pro marker playing, and it wouldn't be that much different. Watching Tiger miss the fairways, fly the greens, and 3 putt is really exciting. Is the excitement watching a icon melt down?

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
