I heard some guy on ESPN yesterday saying that the wind had been so bad during practice rounds that guys couldn't even hit the green on par 3s while hitting driver.  It must have been those two holes they were talking about.

Thomas Bjorn played really well, and Tom Lewis really surprised me. I thought Lee Westwood would be up there but just played average.

... absolutely can't imagine trying to hit a green with a driver - I have a hard enough time hitting a FAIRWAY with my driver.

there's a course near my dad's house where i play from time to time. and for some silly reason, someone decided a 265 yard par 3(from the tips) was a good idea.

westwood employs one of two strategies when in majors. 1. he plays pedestrian for the first two and a half rounds, then somewhere on the back nine on saturday he goes on a tear for a round and a half and comes up 2 strokes short. 2. he plays fantastically the first three rounds, then decides on the 3rd hole that he couldn't be bothered and drops 5 shots, only to finish 2 strokes short.

perhaps this week he's going with #1

Think MrElculver2424  (and TigerSpuds) are referring to each other. Probably haven't got the nouse to offer a considered reply.

"Now on the tee, from SouthAfrica, Looostazn," is how it sounded to me when he introduced the defending champ.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      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.
