Good stat Turtleback,nothing like a good fact to back up a statement.

FWIW, you have only come up with two wins where Tiger has left the driver in the bag. As opposed to alllllllll the other ones out there. So fact: On occasion Tiger has decided not to hit driver and won. Reason: The driver was wonky that week but he still had the game to pull it off. He's not going to win a Masters or a U.S. Open that way. He knows it.

In my bag:

I agree Jamo,the big stick needs to come out at some point.I feel that he can still hit irons off of the tee on certain par 4's at the majors.But he will need to pull the trigger to cut those corners and not settle for a 4 iron that lands right at the dog leg. Irons off of the tee are just hiding his discomfort with the club,i am pretty sure he will figure it out and get the confidence to hit the driver.It's not like Tiger has ever lead the PGA in driving accuracy,what saves him is the ability to scramble and save par,then just eat up the par 5's.

I am sure Tiger would rather put time in to try and fix his driver, then give up and stop using it

Effort to straighten out the path.  Tiger tends to stay closed for too long on the downswing, path too far out to the right.  This new feel helps things and at least give him a pattern and takes out the big miss left which he fears.


Lol, on sirius XM's golf station they had about 9 different "experts" try to answer this question to all the callers who called in, and not one of them was able to answer it. Instead, they went on these deranged "Faldoesque" rambles that was mostly mumbling and stuttering. I tried to call in, but got a busy signal. After each answer though, the hosts would say "great insight there." Uhhhhh, they just said absolutely nothing.

I've seen a few multiquote posts that could easily qualify as an obnoxious waste of space, but in this instance I concur.

And that's my last comment on this particular silly season event which going forward will not have Chevron as a title sponsor.

Maybe next year it will be named "Tiger & Friends"!

I thought the term had already been coined for this type of event - "___insert predator nickname___ Shootout".

Perhaps it will be called "Tiger & the guys that let him win."

Actually the reason he didn't hit driver at Hoylake had nothing to do with a wonky driver and everything to do with dried out fairways that gave so much run out that control was impossible with a driver.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Nah I don't think so since I suppose it will be more than only Tiger and Zack, but I maybe wrong, I think "Tiger & Friends" sounds better anyway!

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
