That was a phenomenal shot.  When he teed off, the announcers were wondering why he we to the right.  He wanted to have the ball in that position for the second shot.  That should be in the highlight reels all season.

Exactly why I'm a fan of his. Not afraid to be bold/creative.

I bet his caddie has anxiety attacks...

BTW, push-slice for sure. ;-) Not that anyone had any doubts...

10 feet after 2 shots on a hole close pushing 700 yards.... It just boggles the mind.

It does however reminds me of something that Nicklaus said last year during his tournament about the golf balls traveling absurd distances. I know Watson has incredible club head speed and freakish talent but it doesn't hurt to have golf balls that are manufactured with the latest materials, design, and manufacturing techniques.

That said it's still one of the top 10 shots I have ever seen.

That was really quite a shot.  To hit that big of a slice with the trouble left and not over slice it was unreal.  He is a very special player.

Incredible shot, it's the kind of shot I would top or hit fat and in both events end up with the ball rolling 30 yards forward.

I, like most people, can hit that shot shape without that much effort. BOR-ING.

Yeah, but Bubba did it on purpose.

I want to see him hit shots like that in person. I don't know how much different the game could be hitting 300+ yards off the deck.

Any stats on how many times that hole has been eagled? Who has been on in two?

He went after it again on 18 yesterday.  Thurs he had 305 to the hole; Fri he had 318.  Same shot shape with the driver, but on Fri he ended up just short of the green.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      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.
