And tell Foley to quit video taping him, and giving Tiger immediate feedback. It must be driving him crazy. I would tell Foley to STFU.

You've got to think that if Tiger thought that way he'd have fired Foley a long time ago. That's kind of the Foley package.

See this is the thing here. Tiger believes in Foley when he shows him the videos. This is what's messing with his head. Tiger doesn't realize it's not good for him, that's why he's out there trying to perfect every part of his swing.

This leads to a mumblejumbled head full of swing thoughts. Which is not good for Tiger, or anybody including me. I would tear my eyes out if my swing coach filled me with that much crazy stuff.

Speak for yourself. I've found video and swing thoughts extremely helpful, and I imagine Tiger does as well (or he would have, like I said, left Foley months ago).

I was referring to the barrage of information loaded into Tigers brain.

One or Two swing thoughts, sure, and an occasional video to show you what you're doing, great.

But Foley is over-doing it. After every single swing at the range he's showing Tiger videos. I mean it's hilarious.

Sez you. I like to practice that way. I get better faster. You can play with different feelings or variations and see which produces the desired results.

Tiger Woods is not coachable by his recent choices.  He has had Foley and Haney and has not really improved.  Possibly he has worsened.  He burned the bridge to Harmon.  He is not the analyzer but plays by feel.  He needs his old swing with a tweek here or there and not a whole new swing.  all the swing thoughts just ruin his natural talent.  When he was 6 years old hitting balls on TV, his swing was better than now.  He'll win when left alone by coaches who coach by the number and gets a caddy like Williams that encourages and pushes him along.

Oh come on.

He won by five a few weeks ago.

People seriously seem to lose their marbles when it comes to Tiger Woods.

Especially the ones who say he just has to go back to the 2000 swing.  You have to wonder where they have been, as Tiger has had to fight through the injuries to his knee that the 2000 swing exacerbated.  Sure, keep the 2000 swing and shred your knee.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁  
    • I use GPS;  it may not be as accurate, but neither am I.
