Chevron won't be back as a sponsor.

Sounds like you are calling your handicap your lowest ever score.

A 9 would pretty much have to have half of their next 20 rounds playing to 3 to get to 3.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

NIce to know that you can change your mind in light of popular opinion and use the pathetic "I was joking" defense. How convenient.

You clearly weren't jokinhg and fifteen multiquotes are not needed to prove it.

I swing my driver flat like a baseball bat before I make my real swing to stop coming over the top.

Work 50% of the time, except there's only a 30% chance of that

Tiger isn't a charity case.  He has won more than anyone currently on tour and has won in dramatic fashion while  "players" have had to watch him sink putts in their face and beat them.

There is no way in HELL Zach or any other player for that maatter will let him "win."  Actually in fact, considering how much Tiger has won beat everyone consistently in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if most want stick it to him.

You are delusional.

I was joking, but obviously it wasn't clear enough. The next time I am joking, I will add I AM JOKING to the end of my post for the benefit of others.

Thanks again Officer Shorty for defusing the situation and trying to correct someone else. Shouldn't you be be hitting balls somewhere or maybe exercising to get into form for your quest to reach the seniors tour???? If you practice like you talk you will be on tv very very soon.I would rest those old fingers for a week and stop typing so your fingers dont tighten up when you try to hit a clutch shot to qualify or make the cut.

why was tiger making such exagerated cut practice swings?  it seemed like 95% of his shots he was trying to cut.  does he think this is better?  is this a new thing sean has him doing?

HIs path has been pretty drastically out to the right, he's trying to overdue it while practicing.

Not what I was saying at all.  I know the calculation well.  What any one, or two, etc..., scores will do to a handicap, is varied, and entirely dependent on what scores are already in the calculation, and when they were posted.  My point simply was, someone with an established handicap isn't likely to move their index very much with one good round.  If you're trying to get better (i.e., lower your index, from wherever it is), you'll need to shoot better than it, and then do it again, and probably again....

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

No.

You'll CERTAINLY have to do it again and then do it on average HALF the time. Not once and maybe once again. I'm talking about a correctly maintained handicap.

The sad thing is that you don't recognize that you feeling that way and then expressing that feeling reflects poorly on you and no one else.

But then again, what the hell do I know?
