I picked one of the most out of shape guys on the tour because someone that out of shape can be a pro golf player.

of course they would, he may double fault ;)

Lol! I voted for Federer but why am I not surprised to see Tiger up there with ~71% of the vote??! I could have (maybe) been persuaded by Tiger but not now Swiss Roger has the French in his collection.

Reasons?

Tennis is essentially matchplay; one loss and you're out whereas you can have a bad first round in a golf Major and still win it.

The difference in playing surfaces for the tennis Majors is extreme i.e. 2 x hard court, 1 x grass and 1 x clay.

The transition from French clay to Wimbledon grass in two weeks is a huge ask.

There's a guy on the other side of the net deliberately trying to stop you getting the ball back in court.

Physical fatigue/fitness is more of an issue in a tennis Slam.


At the end of the day, they're both genuine greats (in a world where that word is used far too often) in their respective sports.

Home Course: Wollaton Park GC, Nottingham, U.K.

Ping G400, 9°, Alta CB 55S | Ping G400, 14°, Alta CB 65S | Adams Pro Dhy 18°, 21°, 24°, KBS Hybrid S | Ping S55 5-PW, TT DGS300 | Vokey 252-08, DGS200 | Vokey 256-10 (bent to 58°), DGS200 | Ping Sigma G Anser, 34" | Vice Pro Plus

Quick question: Does anybody know who the last person to shoot over par one day of the tournament and still win it was?

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Cink was over par in both the 2nd and 3rd Rounds at Turnberry. Possibly some of the more recent PGA Tour events have had a similar situation occur?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
