Tiger sets record at Medalist course

[mirv]

i didn't see a thread already mentioning this anywhere...

granted it wasn't in a tournament, just tiger out playing golf, but 62 still isn't too shabby and bested the previous course record by 2 strokes.  i'd be pretty excited to see him hold onto that momentum and win next week, but of course, whole other world between a casual round and doing it in competition for four consecutive rounds.  i also thought it was fairly amusing/ironic that greg norman said tiger is probably done winning majors, and a few days later tiger goes to a norman designed course and breaks the course record.

Yeah I saw that article this morning, it was the second one on Yahoo. I doubt he's got 1997 Augusta in him, but I think he should play pretty well at the Frys. BTW, if Tiger is "asking just about anyone with a staff bag to tee it up in hopes of sharpening his game," where's my call Tiger? I've got my staff bag in my trunk. You can have your people call my....... cell phone. :-P

Meh.

I want to see Tiger getting back to kicking butt as much as anyone, but this is what it is... a practice round. Still, I've played The Medalist. It's not like you can slap it around and do okay.

But, as odd as it may seem, the simple differences between playing with fans watching in a real event versus playing by yourself in 90 minutes zipping around your home course are big, big, big.

Maybe That's what he needed. A confidence boost. Breaking a course record is a big deal in competition or not. I guess we shall see

When was the last time you shot 62? :---P

That question is about as relevant as "Am I Tiger Woods?"

Until he does it on a big stage I don't care, a lot of pro's most of us don't even know hold course records somewhere.

The 62 means he can physically post a score that low but until he does it in a tournament we can't be certain he's back mentally.  I hope he's back on track.
