  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?

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
