Who are the worst: the Tiger Lovers or the Tiger haters?

Personally I can't be bothered being either,  I don't need a hero to worship.

Has anyone written about the possibility of steroid usage and the failing of connective tissue?

Wasn't Woods warned about snapping the knee and the weight he should carry?

Interesting you should bring that steroid thing up.. I did not know that this is a side effect of steroid usage:

Steroids increase muscle mass and muscle strength, but they leave the joints and ligaments out of the equation. Steroid abusers can expect to eventually put too much strain on ligaments that cannot properly anchor the new muscle strength, leading to possibly severe injury and future surgery to correct torn shoulder joints or knee ligaments. The muscles are exerted, and the joints simply can’t handle it.

I wonder how many trips that un licensed Canadian doctor made to Florida.. You know, the one that helped Alex Rod. juice up..

Is there any proof that a certain former #1 player has ever used steriods?

I'm definitely not ambivalent about this issue.  I love the guy, but hate the things he's doing.  I want to see him get his act together emotionally so we can enjoy his extraordinary talents.  He has questionable judgment due to an enormous ego.  The fact that he even teed it up yesterday proves that.  It would be nice to see an actual person behind the mic for once instead of someone trying to constantly spin things like a politician.

Tiger Woods used steroids?  Don't know....  but let me say, I think no one can argue that his lack of integrity wouldn't put it past him.  If you ask him, he'd say no.  What does that tell you?  Pretty much nothing about the actual truth...

I think it's great that this game has such passionate fans on both sides of this fence. It shows that people take more than a passing interest in the game and we need that today in a game that hasn't grown at the grass roots level in over a decade. I love this passion so I can't say that I have anything against either type of fan.

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
