After that first pull-hook, it seems like he's been doing well enough. Not making birdies, missed more fairways and greens, but still making pars.

Holy crap!!! What a shot by Rickie Fowler.

Course has been wet/soft-so distance is practically all carry.

Agreed. They shouldn't even have shown any of his shots.

I went to a random range on the way home from a trip and all they were talking about was tiger. I would say then the tv is covering what most want to hear about.

I realize that he's still the number one player in the world and he's great for the ratings, but it does seem a little unfair though to all of the players ahead of him who are obviously playing better and not getting any TV time.

You guys are really surprised that the world #1 is getting a lot of coverage?

No........ not surprised. Just bored with everyone drooling over the "mesiah"

Great sentiment, but completely untrue. Virtually everyone ahead of him got TV coverage, and the leaders get covered as much as they do in any tournament. Why do they show Tiger when he's out of contention, between showing shots of the leaders? Because he's won 70+ times including 14 majors.

No........ not surprised. Just bored with everyone drooling over the "mesiah"

And I'm bored with people making comments about how they're tired of seeing him on TV. He was a small part of the coverage - a very small part - and enough people want to see him that the networks show him. End of story.

Fast forward if you don't want to see him. If you're watching live, then trust me, it ain't the Tiger coverage that's boring you.

Why drool all over Tiger for a large part of the coverage when he is not within sniffing distance of the lead? I thought everyone liked seeing good golf. Is it a "man crush" thing........ or do people like watching train wrecks?

The number of commercials are mind numbing, especially towards the last hour, when there are fewer players to cover.

Looking at the forum subjects and no one is talking about the US Amateur. I was switching between both and found myself watching the US Amateur more.

a) He wasn't a "large part" of the coverage by any stretch of the definition.

b) He's the world's best and has won 70+ and 14 majors. It's that simple. Never mind the below reason...
I thought everyone liked seeing

He shot -3 in about five holes while being covered by CBS. Pretty good golf, no?

Apart from DJ, there's no one particularly exciting in contention anyway, so who cares if they show lots of Tiger, as long as the leaders get coverage too.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
