Tiger fan or not???

Watching the golf the other day and was captivated by the great mans skill and sheer professionalism. Turned to the father and said he is amazing and he says "can't stand the man, he is sooo cocky and arrogant".

Though i would run it past you guys if you like tiger or not. (alough i dont like Mickleson but not for discussion on this thread)
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

I really enjoy watching Tiger play.
Cocky or confident?
I have been told (in my other life) that I was cocky... and I may have been, but I had to maintain my edge, and the only way I knew how to do that was evidently taken as cockiness. So be it. It kept me alive.

I think it comes with the territory. Being in the spotlight all the time, being "The World Number One" all the time, you almost need that extra confidence to stay on top... if you lose that, who knows?

He is a great player, and seems to be a great person too. He does a lot for Charity and his foundation, and I am just hoping he builds a course that I can afford to play one day.

cocky? Tiger walks the walk like no other...COCKY [Jim Mora Voice/].....I don't think so. At this point if Tiger isn't in the field it's the LPGA for me.


COCKY!!!

Tiger is the best golfer in the world... it is still early to define as the most successful player in history... but right now he is the number one.

A lot of people may perceive his talent, dominance, and confidence as arrogance, but I personally disagree.

When you are the best, you look and act like the best.

In a recent interview before the Australian Open Final, Roger Federer, who is reigning supreme in Tennis, said: " I know that I am very dominant and I will win this tournament." Did he sound arrogant? To me not, because it is the bare truth... whether you like it or not.

I have opened another thread regarding Tiger's presence on the Tour and in Golf. It looks pretty evident to me that Tiger has given a lot to the modern Golf. More people following, more people playing, more people making money.

He is the king. "Long Live to the King!"

There is a difference between being extemely confident and arrogance. The difference is respect. I don't feel Tiger crosses that line. He respects his competitors. I find (My perception) Phils false modesty more irritating because I feel he is being insincere. Sergio Garcia talks more than Tiger and backs it up less, now that is irritating.

I love Tiger and find him to be a very humble champion. I don't think he is arrogant just passionate and confident.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲

      Why wouldn't it have? It's not like you were playing it as a 145yd par 5 and made a 2 or something.  Or not like it was playing 50yds to a temporary green or something either.
