Tiger is officially back. Possibly better than ever due to his having grown from the rough patch. He's got that calm mind again during the shots.

Not surprising at all. This guy seems to have hit the nail on the head with his article.

Yep, Tiger wasn't happy about the pace.

He lost his concentration, and told himself to man up on 18.

I think he knows in his heart of hearts... That he needs to fix some loose ends in the swing.  His swing looks too steep to me... And is forcing his path left.  Hard to not close the face with a driver and hook it left when you do that...

Almost a 6 1/2 hour pace for 18.   They ought to make Finchem sit down and watch the whole thing today without letting him the fast forward on the DVR.    If a round like this doesn't get some people put on the clock, nothing will.

Sheesh I think we all lost concentration during that mess. I actually decided to get some work done rather than endure the tedium of Fritsch and Compton's play. It became unwatchable for me.

A broken tee, perhaps??

Last week I was actually thinking that it may be a good idea to do a season-long prediction contest.  I almost started a thread about it.  Something like this:

FedEx Cup Winner

Player of the Year (or whatever it's called)

#1 Ranked golfer at the end of the season

Major Winners (specific to each major, singular predictions)

PGA Tour Most Wins

European Tour Most Wins

Maybe some predictions for LPGA, but only for most wins and possibly for majors?

Also, maybe some major statistical categories like #1 for GIR, Total Driving, Scrambling, Putting, whatever.

Basically how it would work is you'd get a predetermined number of points for each correct guess, and the person with the most points at the end of the season wins the contest.  I would be willing to contribute a package of Red Vines to the winning prize.

Oh, and this post is off-topic .  Just FYI

Good man.  If anybody says they would prefer Twizzlers, then you should ban them completely from the contest. :)

I agree that his swing was pathetic at times during that closing stretch, but I truly believe that him and a lot of the rest of the field mailed a lot of that round in.  The whole thing had an anti-climactic vibe to it.  I think the last 5-6 holes were not indicative of where Tiger's game is at right now.

Yea, and it should probably be Clockwork Orange style. Just so the effects can really sink in

Maybe someone advised against putting Compton on the clock?  The guy's already on the clock.

The guy has 75 PGA Tour wins... And plays a limited schedule every year.  Of course his wins are going to be piling up at the same event when you start hitting those kind of win totals, combined with the way he plays his annual schedule.

Don't make excuses for him, Beach!  He's a loser!  Only 53 wins at other courses???  Pathetic.

He has to know that he can't keep winning, especially in majors, unless he gets something figured out with his tee shots.

Really???  So being 5th in total driving for 2012 and, overall, driving as good or better this week isn't even close to the average players drive?  Seriously?

Don;t you think you are setting the bar a little higher (like about 20 feet) for Tiger than anyone else?  What does he have to do to get his "driver [was even] close to the average player's driver" in your eyes?  Lead the tour in bot distance AND accuracy?

Also, he can't win majors the way he is driving?  Actually he has had several years where he wasn't driving it nearly as well as he is now when he won multiple majors.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      By yungbuck6 ·

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
