DO NOT MESS WITH JIM GRAY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnbK3wc9vps

I hate the guy. His interviews are always awkward and stupid. Vijay Singhs interview at the AT&T; was a classic awkward one

He began to question DJ and his caddy about the penalty during the round.  Had he waited until after they were done, it probably wouldn't have been as big a deal.  A reporter walking up to a player and his caddy during a round and asking about the penalty they took is tantamount to a shoving a mic in someone's face during a perp walk, there's absolutlely no place for it in a professional tournament.

I wish Pete Rose would have laid a beatdown on him for the stunt he pulled in '99.  Gray is someone who needs to be put in his place in the worst way.

OK, agreed. That's a total dick move.

Ironically, the Gray interview with Rose, and Pete's professionalism during it, probably had a more positive influence on Rose's image than Gray was intending.

If the story about Gray sticking his hand in Pavin's wifes face is true I would have smacked him around then but if I was DJ's caddie he would have been eating that mic real quick. The guy is terrible him and Mike Lupica should get their own show on versus at midnight so no one would have to suffer through it.

Is this the same caddie who let Dustin hit out of a bunker on the 72nd hole of the PGA Championship? Same guy that abandoned Dustin in the same situation?

The caddie needs to grow a pair.

Good defense is a good offense. Seems that is what is going on here. Deflect anger to a third party, right out of the I farked up play book.

    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
