That was great, what kind of match was that? Sharapova and Wozniaki are pretty cool if that was a serious competition. Wonder how Tiger would have reacted in that kind of situation?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Some sort of Exhibition match.

There's fooling around and then there's fooling around.

Wouldn't happen in a proper match when one of them is about to serve to stay in/win the match.

He may be good at golf, but I would like my odds in a tennis match against him.

Lighten up Francis.

And ya better get used to it. Rory is the biggest talent to emerge on the golf scene since Tiger and he will here a long time.

Go Rory!

Based on that video he doesn't have much of a back hand but I thought I read he's a decent tennis player.

What can you really base on the video tennis-wise? He did win the point against Sharapova! It was all good fun and just shows that he is a good sport. I think Chubby is probably kicking himself now seeing how he is being received. His marketability is only going up.

That's good that he can switch it on like that and perform in front of 20,000.

Rors has it all right now: great personality, super-hot girlfriend, best golfer in the world...making all the right moves.

Don't you see it? It is required that comparisons to Tiger must be drawn, regardless of how irrelevant to golf (and Tiger) Rory McIlroy's actions are.

I think its quite natural to draw comparison between the World's Number One and Former (and possibly re-surging) Number One, is it not? I would have said, " Gee, I wonder how Luke Donald would have reacted in that situation?" but I don't think anyone really cares. Why is everyone so Tiger sensitive? Mention his name and you get a reaction every time...bizarre.

I thought the point of the thread was something like - "Hey look how cool and easy Rory is with the public." Ok, but compared to what or who? I mentioned Tiger because he is the OBVIOUS comparative to look to (at least to me) but apparently this is a faux pas.

I seem to recall when Mike Tyson was at the height of his fame/notoriety people would often ask how (insert favorite heavy weight of the past) would react in similar situations. It wasn't to belittle Tyson or elevate anyone else, just comparing champions. That's all folks, no secret agenda.

I think Rory is great, I think Tiger is great. I didn't know you weren't supposed to talk about them at the same time.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I think he was smart not to try an serve it too hard with no warm up.  That's an easy way to injure yourself.  Rory is a very likable young man.  He is going to be fun to watch for a while.

P.S. - I'm glad he got rid of that frosted hair look from last year.  It looked like an old man wig.

I want to see a vid of Kuchar playing tennis. Didn't he play in the juniors?

Heck, post Phil Mickelson et al playing ping pong.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
