If he's lucky he gets another 69, and then he Beats everybody, after he Holes out from the Wet, Wet, Water

If he doesn't get back out and start playing on a weekly basis I don't think he will ever be much of a factor anymore.He is not number one in the world anymore and needs to get back out and play tourney golf.Going home and hitting balls isn't the answer.

I say 2 wins this year, with one major. I'm thinking the Masters if his putter is working.

But that is deceptive because they never set the course up for a tourney round with all of the back tees.  Torrey Pines never played at its maximum length in the 2008 Open and I doubt that thy ever set up Hazeltine up for its max in 2009.

What do you mean get back out?  He has never played a week by week schedule.  He seems to be planning on playing with the same frequency he did when he was decimating the tour.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Sure, but they are still the longest courses. They don't play the shorter courses at their maximum possible length every day, either.

Your right,he is playing with the same frequency he did when he was decimating the tour,but guess what,he's not decimating the tour anymore!He needs to play on a weekly basis and get his putting stroke back under pressure,going home and putting on a practice green isn't the same.Tiger needs to get back to basics,and that means playing a lot more golf.

You realize he's playing the next three weeks right?

No,but that is a good thing.I want to see him get his game back and have been frustrated with the fact that he is not out playing.I know he has had health issues,but that seems to be over and it's time for him to get back out on a regular basis.

When did Tiger ever decimate the tour?

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

I am going to say he wins at least 1 major if not two, I think he might win the masters and have a good showing in the other 3. I think he may have 3 other tour wins this year, i still think he beats Jack's record!

Tiger did just the opposite of decimate the tour.    In Tiger's prime, the Tour increased purses dramatically, increased attendance, increased TV ratings, and stimulated an increase in more physically fit and capable athletes.    This is the exact opposite of decimating.       Dominating, maybe, but certainly not decimating.......

For most of his career.  Maybe you missed it?  It was in all the papers.

I think I'd know if Tiger reduced the field by 10%.

    • 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?
