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 Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
