i used to think that this guy would be the guy to step up and challenge tiger week in week out (part of me still does) but he's just too inconsistent! he started off the day 3 back and well in the hunt but then goes and shoots 78 today to drop to 1 over! he really needs to find his game!

Just because they're pros doesn't mean they're not human. Anyone is capable of shooting bad rounds..

AKs swing is so powerful, solid, and simple looking, he is bound to have more consistency. Out of all the young golfers out there he has the greatest potential (see Augusta birdie record)

Tiger is a once in a generation player. If he gets his feel and confidence back, he will once again be in a different league compared to the rest. Challenging Tiger at his best week in and week out is impossible.

However, I fear (even though I've never been a huge Tiger fan) that we may have seen the end of Tiger's supremacy. He still just doesn't look quite right. Most athletes, don't recover 100% from that kind of lay off. If he can come back from this injury better than ever, and I probably shouldn't doubt that he can, he will confirm in my mind that he is the best ever.

Very well said. Tiger is the best I've ever seen (mind you I didn't see much of Jack) and he's pretty tough to beat.

However, I fear (even though I've never been a huge Tiger fan) that we may have seen the end of Tiger's supremacy. He still just doesn't look quite right. Most athletes, don't recover 100% from that kind of lay off. If he can come back from this injury better than ever, and I probably shouldn't doubt that he can, he will confirm in my mind that he is the best ever.

My dad thinks the same exact thing that Tiger won't be back like he was before. But, he said the same thing about Dwayne Wade, so take that for what it's worth. Tiger is not "most athletes" and if anyone can make the comeback, he can. Wade, Peyton Manning, Steve McNair, etc. have all come back from pretty bad injuries and have done pretty well. I'm sure Tiger will be back eventually.

yes i know but it seems he always has a bad round every time he's in contention recently! dont get me wrong he's a quality golfer but he needs to get more consistent imo or else he might be the next sergio!

I think I'd read something or heard something about his shoulder or elbow being injured or something.

Plus he was awfully busy chasing the international IMG money train earlier this year... and he has a tendency (which he supposedly got over last year) of enjoying his evenings...

I've got to agree that Tiger is a once in a lifetime golfer. Unlike others, the guy is always there or there-about, even without his A-game. For example, his B-game gets him into the Top 10 of Majors (see Masters 2009). Therein lies the main difference between Tiger and the rest. When the others are "not on", they are not on the front page of the leader board, and hence the perceived lack of week-in, week-out consistency.

He probably needs another year or two of maturity. He probably won't come close to Tiger's status, but he should win a couple of majors before all said and done.

I agree! He has such a nice (perfect?) swing and he is young as well so give him a few years and he will be a dominator!

He'll come around I'm sure. He's played quite a bit overseas recently and also injured himself a couple of times doing non-golf related activities I believe.

I'd venture a guess and say he'll win one event this year.

He's like Mike Weir or Stephen Ames, he can make a lot of birdies but he can also make alot of bogies. Id agree he's pretty streaky.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
