  1. 1. Which would happen first: Guillen pars or Woods gets a base hit?

    • Tiger Woods would get a base hit against MLB pitching.
      16
    • Ozzie Guillen would par a hole on the PGA Tour.
      11

I've played with some AWEFUL golfers that have strung together enough shots to make a birdie, and many more pars. Ozzie would par a hole in his first round solely as an athlete. Tiger, would get a hit, but it would take a while. I'm not doubting his athletic ability, but hitting a major league fastball is apparently the most difficult thing in professional sports.

... Ozzie would par a hole in his first round ...

I don't think he was talking about "a" par in a 18 hole round? I understood it as Ozzie-bigmouth standing on a tee and playing 1 (ONE) hole only - and getting a par (after all #2 player in the world could not accomplish this task

). If we're talking one par in 18 holes - in that case TW should get 18 at bats... and I'm still going with Tiger. Ozzie is a talker and I don't like him

Hell, if that's the case, Ozzie has no chance. None. If it's 1:1 (throughout a normal round of golf, and against pitchers of varying skill), at-bat versus one hole, I think that's where it gets close.

But if it's one hole versus one game (three to five at-bats), Tiger would have to win hands down. Even if Ozzie could pick the hole he wanted to play...

I was thinking one round of golf- 18 holes- vs. 1 game - 3 to five at bats- and Ozzie would win. No way does Tiger get a hit in his first game or 3 to five at bats against a major league pitcher. BUT Ozzie probably would get A par. If Barkley can sqeeze out a par, anyone can.

Ozzie could par some of the shorter par 4s like the driveable short par 4 at the GHO or maybe even a short par 3 like 17th at Sawgrass. Give Ozzie 18 chances at the same hole, and Tiger 18 at bats with the same pitcher, Ozzie would win.

Ozzie probably averages one whiff per round. Have you seen his swing?

      Day 54. Was in a good place last week. Yesterday’s round killed my confidence.  Full swing practice trying to get back to where I was but struggled with being tired and tense. Back to basics tomorrow.

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
