How cool would this be!

I would love to have the chance to pick Tiger's brain for a few hours.

I saw this article and thought it was cool. But I'd rather go drinking with Tiger. I think he'd be more impressed with my drinking than my golfing. I'm probably a single digit drinker, but not scratch.

I've read where Steve Williams said that Tiger was a very funny guy, but most of his stuff can't be put on TV or in print because it's too...well...I'm not offended by anything, so it would make for a good guys night out.

I think that would have been super cool, and I don't know what I would do. Hit it all over the place to have more time t chat with him, or play so good that he gets me free gear from Nike, I can dream right?

He warned how fast the greens were, then chuckled as Abel five-putted the 10th for a quadruple-bogey 8.

Hahaha, with Tiger watching you, I suspect the tensions is a bit higher than normal, but a 5-putt? Hehe. Great to see Tiger out again, I hope he'll be fit for the next season.

full credit to tiger who coulda easily used his injury as an excuse...

huhu tiger would make the worst caddie... 'hit a 3 wood over the trees, put a little draw on it, clear the water and get it to stop on the second tier of the green... well thats what i would do'

Driver: Nike Sumo 5000 9.5
5W: Mizuno F-60

Irons: Nike CCI Forged 4-PW

Yeah, I think I would be a little nervous too ... I would probably 5-putt from 18 inches. Never mind thinking about what I would do off the tee with Tiger watching ... *eek*("fore!")

This had to be a super-cool experience for this guy; but, I, too, have to agree that sitting down for an hour or so with Tiger over "A Frothy Adult Beverage" would be the better of the two experiences.

I can't imagine how nervous I would have been. Heck I get nervous at the 1st tee ball with a bunch of hacks standing around.

I didn't read the article from this, but I did see a similar article recently, and I think the guy was playing because he had won something from Nike that included the clubs.

Yeah they mentioned that in the article, but, a lifetime of free gear would be nice too

I didn't read the article, so I don't know how good of a golfer the guy is...but a 5-putt? Ouch. *Knocking on wood* I can't remember the time I had more than a 3-putt.
A friend of mine played Torrey Pines about a year ago when it was already at "US Open" difficulty. He didn't talk about the greens being such a problem but said that the fairways were very narrow and rolled to the point that even a drive down the middle could still result in the ball rolling off the side and into the primary cut.

It was the "Tee Off With Tiger" contest and it was put on by Buick. It doesn't say anything in the article about clubs.

Abel played with a new set of Nike clubs. Woods wrote on the bib: "Thank you for letting me caddie for you. Your friend, Tiger Woods."
