Anybody catch this? Very cool event. It was cool watching Woods, Casey, Villegas, and Jaidee having a casual, yet competitive round of skins. Jaidee's bird on the 17th was sweet and so was Villegas' long birdie putt. It's funny listening to them rag on each other...stuff they edit out of sanctioned events.

I watched it. Wish they'd talked less and let the mics each player had play a bigger role.

Agree with the less-commentators-more-mic-conversations. They made a big deal about it at the start and then constantly talked over the players' conversations.

The camera work was terrible, though - they couldn't track most of the shots.

I really think Tiger pulled his putt on 17, though.

There were some fantastic golf shots.

Tiger is kinda cheap, only donating $6,600, when his playing partners all donated over $90,000.

It's too bad such events are kinda spoiled by the commentators. On regular tournaments you don't hear a lot from the players, but when they stick a microphone to their shirt, we are supposed to hear what they are talking about. Of course, some commentators got a severe case of mouth diarreah.

Really?? That doesn't sound right. Not saying it's wrong because I have no clue what they donated, but I would think if Tiger knew they were donating that much, he wouldn't cheap out with 6600. But if he did, wow!

My DVR stopped recording after the push on 18. Did they play another hole, or have a chip off?

I always love to see pro's play skins, the lighter atmosphere, rooting for each other to halve the hole, taunting, etc. Almost like when I play skins with my buddies, except with us, bogies win the skins alot of the time!

I think they each donated their winnings -- and I think that's all he won.

BTW, I saw a few images of the event, and Tiger's caddie for this didn't look like Stevie Williams. Did I miss something, or did he just have a local caddie for the event?

I think on one of the first few holes Tiger hit the pin with his iron shot, then they didn't show his reaction or anything. Too bad. Or maybe he didn't have a reaction.

Yeah, the original post on this was tongue in cheek, which TN49 didn't get... :)

They said something at the start about none of them having their regular caddies. It'd be too much to ask for a guy's caddie to travel to Thailand for a one-day skins game. They probably sold the rights to caddie for the different players to corporate types.

Sorry. At least I wasn't the only one I guess. I didn't see it and didn't know the format. Although, smilies do help in these situations..

The camera work was pretty sketchy, like trying to show where tee shots land when the camera is way out there by the green...not so effective. Also, they did miss some shots (Tiger shot one of his better approach shots from the rough, and it was never shown). They did finish with a chip-off and Villegas squeezed it in super tight, although Jaidee was in there pretty close (he had the same chip shot right before the chip-off). I'm wondering about the microphone thing, too, maybe they were doing a bunch of swearing, etc. that kept most of what they said off-air? I heard a couple f-bombs in the background throughout. You could see that Tiger and Casey were definitely trying to out-drive each other on most of the holes, and that was fun to watch. Casey absolutely nutted a 3 wood further than the other three hit driver, which was cool.

the match was very fun to watch. I loved the "casual" feel to the match. I especially enjoyed how they ditched the rules at the end and instead of replaying the final hole, the players basically decided to do a chip off and also included Tiger in the chip off even though he did not tie that final hole with everyone else.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
