It was impressive.

He still has the great recovery shots, but not the basic shots. Kinda weird

How many bunkers has Byron Bell had to rake now?

Yep - I've played (and I'm sure everyone else has) like that a LOT of times but in reverse: flushing 2 and 3-irons and then duffing 9-irons and PWs...

A lot and I'd be asking for a bonus even with Tiger missing the cut because his arm has got to be sore.

Tiger seriously looks to be on the verge of crying

Yes that's my game: 285 drive down the center of a narrow fairway with water on one side and O.B. on the other. Then chunk a short iron into a bunker.

Woods/Hybrids: Cobra AMP 3W and 3 HY

Irons: Cobra AMP 4-GW

Wedges: Callaway Forged Copper 56* and 60*

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Whichever announcer said it..I agree with them..Tiger needs to just keep playing.  His old schedule when he was in form just won't work right now.  You can't expect to come back to your old self after such long layoffs by playing once every month.

He just needs to finish out the year playing in any events he can get in and get his natural rhythm back.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

I don't know, I think Tiger is struggling mentally and it affects his game a lot more than anything else.  Before the scandal, everything was almost perfect for him.  He is just not confident and not a happy person right now.  He needs to get over it to be competitive again.

Actually, I hadn't really thought about the fact that Kaymer missed the cut at 2 Majors this season.  People were wondering how many months he'd been #1 a year ago ... there should be a rule about changing your swing within months of winning a major.

I've always liked Tiger as a golfer, but not so much as a person, so I was kind of surprised I found myself feeling bad for him today.  The guy looks lost, and if he could I think he would have just walked off the course and called it a day after his fat putt or sand wedge into the water.  I'm sure he had days like this coming up to his pro level, but I've never seen him struggle as much as he has these last two days.  It appears he's lost that mental edge and until he regains that I think he's going to struggle.

I was Following Rickey Dustin and Sergio on the 12th hole, and it was crazy when Ricky sank the putt. Right after that, he went straight to the porta potty. LOL

Looked like Woods was trying to take a divot with his putter or something... I know he's compressing the ball better now, I just didn't think he was doing it with his putter too. :-P

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
