I’m guessing the ProAm today will get higher ratings than some Tour Friday rounds.

He is walking real gingerly here. Haven't seen videos of him walking out and about casually, so don't have anything to compare to.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm really glad he's able to be walking at all.

I think months before all niggles like scar tissue, stiffness, ROM will let him get back to being a reasonably competitive athlete. He will be fine. Good to see him out there.

You could see the limp a bit as he was walking around. But he is out there, which is the first step.

242-yard 4I to the par five, and this…

I posted it in the Tiger topic, too. Pretty surprising.

Yeah good thing is unlike previous injuries, it's not a functional hindrance. I think had he injured his left leg, no way he takes a 115 MPH full swing this soon. Maybe ever.

It looks like the issue will be golf-endurance, not golf mechanics.

 

Does anyone have a sense of how Tiger's injuries from his accident compare to Ben Hogan's?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Having had both knees replaced one at age 58 the other at 63. I see a similar response in tiger's recovery. He is still showing some weakness as I did at roughly 6 months post operation but he has the full range of motion with his swing. I remember my surgeon telling me that my recovery will be "Exponential over time". I am sure Tiger is feeling that as well. I would not count him out of the Masters by any means. Especially because Tiger is a fanatic about working out and his PT is probably something he revels on it.


I was curious though, is there a rule on how close you place your ball to your partners ball after he/she hits?  I saw some place a tee or coin where their ball was and then their partner would drop it in the general area..but what is considered acceptable or not?

I'm sure they kinda specify. They said within one club length of the original ball, and when putting you put it within about an inch or so.

Some words by Tiger and other players on Tiger after the PNC: 

tiger-charlie-pnc-1694-samgreenwoodgetty

ORLANDO, Fla. – There would be very few times in the life of Tiger Woods that he ever would deem...

That was an awful lot of fun to watch.

Of all the dads with relatively young kids, the biggest swing difference between dad and son was the Dalys.  Sr. still has his way beyond parallel backswing while Jr's backswing was pretty compact and nowhere near parallel, let alone beyond parallel.

Great seeing how many of the kids have picked up dad's mannerisms.

Also interesting to see how excited Nelly Korda was to get a picture with Tiger.  And to find out that her dad, with whom she was playing, had been a world class tennis player who won a Grand Slam event - the Australian Open, and at his peak was #2 in the world.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't know that already. Not a big LPGA watcher, I take it? 😄

Nope.  Frankly, before the PNC I had never heard of Nelly.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
