Oh, wait . . .

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PARTICIPATE YOU KNOW.

I JUST HAVE NEVER SEEN THE THERE NUMBERS CATEGORY BY CATEGORY BEFORE. THE FACT IS THAT THERE IS REALLY NO CONTEST AND TIGER IS ONLY 38.

Yelling on the interwebz really isn't necessary. Ironically, neither is this thread.

For some reason, you have missed hundreds of posts that do accept that.  I've often said I can't even prove that Tiger would beat Vardon head to head, although I'd bet on him. What I CAN prove is

That's very unfair to Jack, since he played events well into his 60's.  It also distorts Tiger's record, since he played injured for several years. It would be more fair to look at the the period

HAHA, I just thought of this guy,

Oh and by the way, next time please do a search for a topic. If your post is relevant to a previously made topic that has not been locked post it there. It really does help keep the forum from getting to cluttered. We don't need 10 different Jack versus Tiger threads started.

You don't really believe that. I know you're a Tiger guy.

Massive problem is that you didn't check your work.  The Euro tour wins in effect double count all of Tiger's WGC's & Majors.

http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/players/playerid=218/wins/index.html

Sooooo......if you want to take away 31 of those Euro tour wins then by your own argument parameters, Jack is the greatest.

As you said, the numbers don't lie.

Good news I just found my readers behind my chair! Sorry I hope I didn't hurt your ears.

As I understand it you have your panties in a bunch because I started this new thread. My apologies but if I had seen the 235 page thread I would have just entered the lop sided numbers comparison there. I believe there should be a board moderator who can morph this thread with the original thread or so my friends tell me.

Or if you look at the top of the screen. There is nice search bar. Unlike other forums which tend to hide their search bar. This forum clearly gives you ample room to input your search.

Wait look, I gave it a try. Three words, and see what thread is at the top. Wonder how long it took me to do this, oh about 10 seconds. Yep, so instead of wasting the moderators time to follow people around merging threads. How those who post just stop being lazy.

Ah I see well there is only one catch I used the same additional 18 majors for Jack so you have to take that off of his number as well. Also there was no mention of any European tour wins for jack by wikipedia. Add that to the 10 champions tour wins which tiger does not qualify for yet and you have 28 that should be taken off Jacks numbers and we are back where we started from. Also TIger is just 38. So you are right the numbers do not lie we agree! Tiger is # 1

Thank you for the valuable lesson hence forth I will try to remember that. That's what I like about life you learn something everyday!  Even at my age. You have to give us old timers break lad.  This new technology can at times be overwhelming.

Not really as you just pointed out that you tripled counted Tiger's majors (PGA + Euro + Majors).  So take another 14 off Tiger.  And it's back to Jack.

I don't care who it is.  You just insist that the numbers don't lie.  So it's Jack.  As the numbers don't care how old someone is or who qualified for what and when.  The numbers are the numbers.   And they are the numbers you provided for your argument.  You can go ahead and try and rejustify them after they are proven inaccuarte but that seems rather folly doesn't it?

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
