"Playing seven out of nine weeks with an additional trip to Ireland for Ryder Cup practice was taxing both mentally and physically and I feel like I need another week away from competitive golf. I'm confident that this extended break will help me to recharge my batteries for the 2007 season." - TW

Woods will play in the HSBC Champions Tournament, Dunlop Phoenix Tournament, PGA Grand Slam of Golf, and Target World Challenge Presented by Countrywide to close out his season.

I have lost all respect for Tiger and Phil and have vowed to not support there sponsers buy using any of there products. I know that's not going to make any difference but it makes me feel better. I don't listen to the PGA tour on xm radio and quit watching the PGA on tv this year. I will support the LPGA whenever they come to town. Sorry but this just sets me off as to no respect for the fans. Guess they forget that without fans they would just be playing for fun on Sunday afternoons. Rant over (for now).

Tiger hasn't played a competitive round since October 1st, and Phil hasn't played since The Ryder Cup the week before that. Is one month of rest not enough?

I completely agree, Phil has played in 19 official events and Tiger has played in 15 which is the least amount for the players in the top 10 on the money list!

That these 'young' players are tired and need rest really raises an eyebrow when you see that 'old' guys like Jim Furyk (#2) played in 23 events and Vijay (#3) has played in 26, nearly double that of Tiger. Then take a look at the 'really old' guys on the Champions Tour. ALL of the players in the top-10 have played over 20 events this year, 6 of the 10 have played 25 or more events. While I can see how these guys get drained from traveling and all of their sponsorship engagements, I can somewhat excuse their absence from regular events. But to miss events like the Tour Champship and the Mercedes is beyond me.

Gary Van Sickle just posted a column on this exact topic. He basically give's Tiger a pass...and wonders what this says about next year's FedEx Championship.

He makes a good point.

HA! OK it's all very clear to me now.

Gary Van Sickle just

He makes a point....as a fan and a believer in these top level events I don't feel it's a good one

Also, I am a fan of Tiger but I don't believe in the Tiger-Slam. To me the Slam is winning all the majors in one season/calendar year. Also if he does cherry pick the events he wants to win then yeah more power to him but like the slam he still won't beat Nelson's record of 11 unless it's done in the same season. (Some one help me here, did Byron skip any events inbetween the 11 wins or were they 11 tournaments in a row?)

In another couple of years Tiger may only show up for majors. Even then he'll probably qualify for the Ryder Cup.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

Yeah, but what about all those workouts in the gym he supposedly does? I thought that was supposed to increase your, uh, "stamina"?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)
