Jeez, he was upset, made a mistake and spat, then apologized on the next press conference. Haters are worse than fanboys.

Are people running out of things to complain about since all of Tigers infidelity stories are now depleted? Now you cling onto anything he does, trying to find something to complain about. Get over it.

Not well said. You're both gutless Tiger apologists. Like I said earlier, I've always been a big fan, but it can't be overestimated just how ignorant, selfish and shitty his behaviour was in KNOWINGLY doing that by the hole, KNOWINGLY doing it in front of many young spectators (who he couldn't even be bothered to sign any autographs for). Good golfer, pretty much a bellend though...

First of all, Tiger has never been a big autograph signer, especially when playing badly. Nobody is saying it is something they want to see on a golf course, but he's apologized, nobody cares about the event anymore, except for the Tiger haters that try to convince everyone they don't care about him. I don't spend time and effort on someone I don't like. I spend time discussing and watching Tiger play because I like him as a golfer. I don't like Boo Weekley, so I don't watch him golf, but I don't go around complaining about all he does either.

The world would be a much better place is people focused on the things they like, not the things they dislike. Tiger got his antics, he knows it, we know it, he sometimes lose it and does something stupid, but he's not the only one. It's just that people don't care when other players do it. And don't try to make it like Tiger did this on purpose, wanting to act like that in front of all the cameras and spectators. He has developed some anger management issues when he gets hot, but don't confuse that with just being an ass.

Add positivity to the world, not negativity.

It's like your carbon footprint. You don't have to never add negativity, but it should be offset by the positive.

Gee, what's not to like about Boo Weekley? If ever there was a guy who was not full of himself, it's Boo.  I think he's a refreshing alternative to the "vanilla" tour.  And he has a really nice swing.

I know, off topic.

Trust me, there's a lot to not like about Weekley, but I think my reasons are probably different than the reasons anyone else might have. When the majority of people you live around use the same "awww shucks golly gee willickers" demeanor, you get tired of it. Plus, I think part of his whole thing is put on, kind of in the same way Larry the Cable Guy's act is put on and played up a little. God forbid a "good 'ol country boy" attempt to act intelligent, speak clearly, ditch the dumbass camo and break out of the stereotype just a little bit . A good example of a southern guy who does carry themselves well in my book is David Toms. You don't see him running around that that wacky cajun coach from The Waterboy.

Sorry for the rant and also for taking this thing way off topic, he's just one of those people that really strikes a nerve for me. I apologize. Just ignore the crazy person mumbling to himself in the corner

    • You're right.  Side note, and funny story, the only time I can remember hitting a shot O.B. on that hole for the second shot, it was a topped shot where I started near the O.B. marker.  I wonder if I'm not getting as good a shot as I could because I'm nervous about O.B., but I'm not hesitating to hit a 4W if I get a good lie.  
    • Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.   
    • Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue. 
    • Thank you, @saevel25.  First two points, definitely, and those are things I can do.  PGA Tour average being 3.0 from 100 yards in the rough (or 160 in the fairway, per ESC) is a great reminder that a 5 is a really good score on a par-5 and the occasional six isn't anything to be upset about, as long as I played it intelligently.   I'm playing in less than a week, and I checked the three par-5s against ShotScope's 5-handicap baseline.    My last par on two of them yielded a 0.23 stroke gain (each), while the last one had -0.07 on my last par (I wonder if ShotScope measures straight-line distance, because there's some slight bending going on). Hmmm, that last one, especially with between the ropes.  I think I'll go through my past rounds later today and see where I'm losing strokes there -- I would guess it's on my second shot, since that one makes me nervous because of O.B. left and right on the second shot.  Yet, I think I can hit a hybrid from my typical tee shot landing area and have a distance wedge into the green.  
    • Goal 1) Keep the ball between the ropes. The ropes being where you have a full swing at the ball to advance it as far towards the green as possible. Not in trees, bunkers, hazards, long grass, OB, etc...  Goal 2) Advance the ball as far as possible towards the green with respect to your shot zone. Keep the ball in play, ideally in the fairway, but the rough is not terrible. Stay away from hazards, including bunkers. Ideally, you will in play with a short iron, distance wedge shot, pitch shot, or on the green. If this is the case, then think of it as having a par 3 that is the distance left on the par 5. If you are hitting a full swing short iron, then that is going to be difficult to get par than bogey. PGA Tour is 3.0 from the rough from 100 yards. This might be where fairway matters the most.  PGA Tour rough is tougher than what we usually play. If you get can this close to 50/50 for par/bogey than you will most likely end up more pars than bogies on par 5's. You would probably be better than 50/50 if you end up closer to the hole. This is where the advice would be, aim at the center of the green with full swing shots into par 5's.
