Yep. And teams are told about areas of focus in the pre-season. Many teams will bring refs in to officiate scrimmages and inter-squad things. -

Michael Campbell qualified in a playoff at my club in England (Walton Heath) - I watched the playoff. It was the first time they did it. That one, Trevor Immelman would not have been playing in the Masters back in even the early 90s and Rich Beem I'm pretty sure would have been selling carphones back in the day. That's three people who beat Tiger into second who just would not have been even playing back in Jack's time. Probably add KJ Choi to that list. There were a handful of foreign players playing in Jack's day - Player obviously and Isao Aoki, but they were pretty few and far between. I know it was always a talking point on British television in the early 90s about how there were only a handful of European players who got invites to the Masters. It used to be for tournament winners on the PGA Tour and that was about it. Now it's all sorts of top 50 this and top 50 that. Having said that, I played in a captain pro challenge at Walton and the captain was a guy called Michael Lunt. He played a few Walker Cups - VERY good player, although he was well past his best playing days when I played with him. He told me that he played in something like the 1959 Walker Cup and got a letter in the mail from the Chairman at Augusta. It was an invite to the Masters. He had no idea what it was and nor did any of his fellow Walker Cuppers (they were all invited to play). So none of them went (it would have been quite an undertaking at the time). I think he played in four Walker Cups all told. After his second one, one of his teammates decided to go, played in it and came back and told them all they had to do it if they got the chance, but they never invited them again so he never got to play. If I was him I don't know how I'd be able to sleep at night after that. -

Jack to Tiger, easily. Diminishing returns, or whatever, with the rates of expansion and the top 200 players or whatever remaining constant. -

Well last night was a great start to the 2024 NFL season. Two top teams matched up equally in a good shoot out. I didn't know they were going to enforce formation penalties like they did. At a certain time, Baltimore got a warning, then two consecutive penalties illegal formation. I think Harbaugh asked the ref, just tell him he needs to move up. If that is the case, then train your players better. Sometimes WR will check with the ref since they are far away from the center. It is the tackles job to be lined up correctly. If you knew these were going to be called more strictly, then it is poor head coaching that your players were not ready. Stop crying. I do think Xavier Worthy is going to be a problem. He just looks like he has another gear that most other players do not have. -

And the one thing I forgot to mention is Tiger obviously won the Masters and Zozo not too long ago, so there's no question that Tiger would still be great today. People like to say he didn't have longevity and yet that's 24 years between wins. But obviously Tiger's prime was more like 1996-2013 about 17 years. Indeed, it's remarkable that Michael Campbell for instance even got into the 2005 US Open. If I remember right the only reason he tried to qualify is they had European qualifying near his home so there was nothing to lose. This was the first year that European qualifying was introduced and it certainly affected the outcome of the event. Indeed, they are unprecedented.
