Watney- Bad finish but still played very well last week

I want Tiger to win so bad. I want Tiger to win any tournament actually. But I think The Big Easy is going to steal this one.

I want Tiger to win also. I'm sick of the commentators talking about his sex scandal every time he plays.  Magic Johnson slept with 1000's of woman while he was married. He slept with woman at halftime. I don't get why Tiger gets all this scrutiny. Is it because of the game he plays? I think it's time for Tiger to play the race card to get people off his back. Magic cheats on his wife gets HIV and is on Oprah 10 times a year to be praised for I have no idea what. They were both huge role models. I honestly think it's because of the sport they play. I bet when he does win it will take him a while to get another one and they will continue to say its because of stress from his scandal and the win was just a good week.

My boss called me today and said he might have to tickets for Saturday's round and asked me if I wanted to go. Uuuhhh, hell yea! I've been a couple times before but it was years ago when it was stilled called the Nestle'. I'm really hoping he can get the tickets because seeing just how great these guys play is almost surreal.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

They did stop talking about it.  About  a year ago, in fact.  Maybe it's you who needs to move on.

And you suggest that he should play "the race card"? That would be bad enough if he were black, but he isn't. Dear oh dear.....

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I haven't heard them mention Tiger's sex scandal in a very long time.

I agree with you...but, when did Tiger stop being black?

OK maybe they don't say sex scandal. They say personal life aka sex scandal. My bigger point was the treatment of two black men who play different sports, golf = rich, basketball = poor. Magic = HIV hero, Tiger = man whore. I guess I can't make that point because you believe he isn't black. Do you believe we just elected our first black president? I guess you would say technically no.

My picks last week were way off.  I guess I don't know the courses well enough to predict which player fits the course.  I'll go with Gary Woodland for two in a row.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.     
    • 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.
