The PGA Tour's official YouTube channel put out 4 short videos on Tiger Woods recently. I haven't seen them posted yet, so here they are. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvP1LUlfAbE&feature;=g-all-u[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RowXnGKTdjg&feature;=youtu.be[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxu6Srn4AC8&feature;=youtu.be[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_OtPORDeyE&feature;=youtu.be[/video] It seems like the goal was to re-invigorate interest in him (and thus golf) by reminding us of how good he was and the fact that he's picked back up recently while competing against the younger generation of golfers his legacy helped build. But it almost came across with something of a "farewall" vibe, like the homage you pay when a great athlete retires.

I don't take any of it as a retirement homage. All 4 of those come across as a warning shot of watch out for this guy, remember what he used to do? At least that's how I saw them.

I agree that's how they were intended. But I thought it had a [i]subtle[/i] feel of the homage aspect. Regardless, it looks like they're hoping he'll bring some more popularity to the game.

There was a video that I saw on golf channel around december a promo for pga tour 2012 and it was about how tiger showed he could win on a broken leg but not a broken mind. I have looked and looked for that commercial but can not find it. gave me chills and would love for somebody to share it if they could find it.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
