This thread has a pretty specific title. Perhaps that's how or at least why they're not talking about them here?

Here's my attempt to be a sportswriter. 06/13/12: He will never do it, ever. 06/18/12: Of course he will, and he may even get to 25.

Of course I am biased.  I do of course want him to do it but I also believe he will do it.  I really don't think the leg injuries have much to do with his play since 2008.  Yes of course he had to tak

I think he was being sarcastic and referring to "them" saying that.

I say "yes" with the caveat that he needs to make love to his putter more often. She is apparently a jealous mistress when it comes to Tiger, and abandons him easily.

I meant in general. This isn't the only place where "18>14" is considered insightful analysis. One of the PGA wrap-up shows last night had some experts talking about Tiger's dismal last four years, as if his 2009 POY season didn't exist; all they cared about was that he hadn't won any majors since 2008. Todd Hamilton can have one hot week and win a major. He'll never win POY. I don't understand why people put more thought into picking the best player of the year, than the best player of all time.

Who cares? This thread isn't about POY or regular PGA Tour events. The GOAT thread can include commentary outside of the major talk.

And Tiger's said himself several times that the regular events don't mean as much.

Stick to the topic, please.

To get back to the topic of the thread:

He's playing terribly today but he's still in contention, and always seems to be at the majors.  Yes, he'll win at least five more to pass Jack.

If I knew he would be tied for the lead after 36 holes in half the majors he plays in for the next five years, I'd place a pretty large wager that he'd ultimately beat Jack. Strange to see him struggle in these third rounds, though. He was playing pretty poorly today, and not just by his standard. I think the delay was about the best thing that could've happened for Tiger.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
