im sure theres much much more than just him choosing to play over attending his kids birthday... and anyways, why do you care and why are you worrying about someones life who you dont personally know and most likely never will.

I like the banner they flew over th Open Sunday, in case you missed it it read "Tiger, are you my Daddy?" Pretty bush league. But on the other hand so were Tigers actions.

thank you. this isn't a TMZ forum. and i'm sure what he meant by it is he's not going to be out sleeping with women during his kids birthday party. quite honestly, he's not my husband nor my dad so it's none of my business, anyhow. let me ask you this: if you had a sponsor's exemption to play in the major championship of your choice, would you miss your kid's birthday?

Im sure he isn't the first father to miss his child's birthday even after a promise. I missed a few myself due to business commitments. It happens.

I didn't read the article, but I've seen other athletes wish their kids or wife happy birthday in postgame interviews a few times too. What?

I actually wondered how the US Open ending on Fathers' Day would affect Tiger--i.e. did thoughts of winning on Fathers' Day and having to answer some press-conference question about his kids not being there come into play? We'll never know obviously.

Didn't realize it was his daughter's birthday -- although i'd bet he wasn't invited to the party; and if so, and if i were in his shoes, i'd be pretty bummed out about the whole situation, as the holiday will always serve as a reminder that his actions make him a cr*ppy dad.

Come on now... We all have our faults. There is no justification for calling Tiger a crappy dad. Yeah, he cheated on his wife, so he is a crappy husband. Him missing a birthday doesn't make him a crappy dad, the man has to work.

maybe i'm being too puritan, but at least in my book extensive extramarital affairs for a father with two little kids makes one BOTH a cr*ppy husband AND a cr*ppy dad.

I didn't want to sound like i was criticizing his "decision" to play in the Open though -- i'd guess if his wife truly wanted him home because they were in process of patching things up that he would have skipped the Open...i bet he didn't have a choice in the matter.

I do agree with that... I guess I just didnt really consider how that affects his kids as well. You are right.

I don't know many other professional golfers that will withdraw from the US Open and one of the biggest majors of the year for their kids birthday. I'm sure Tiger wasn't the only one missing something important.

This is REALLY weak flamebait...

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
