Sergio thrives on making who ever he is playing with an "enemy" to help him get out of his own head. Anger drives him. It seems typical with Spaniards in competitive sports.  It is just his ego and the fact that he has never lived up to his "hype". His biggest issue is that he cannot just accept his situations and responsibilities.

Tiger being focused and picking a club to use for a shot to be at fault... I guess I don't know if the crowd cheers like this ever time he pulls a club in these situations but either way get over yourself SG

Yes, I think it hurt both his wrist/hand and ego as well as his score.

He was close to the tree and was trying to take an upright swing which he did on the way back, but re-routed it to the inside at transition/on the way down and caught the tree which deflected his club resulting in him hitting the ground about a foot in front of the ball.

Mostly a bad break, but one of the announcers commented that he would have been better off playing a fade (less likely to re-route to the inside).  He could also have punched/chipped out which is what he ended up doing on his 3rd shot

Sergio had the honor because he started with a 1 shot lead.

Interesting, that is not how I have seen it explained by announcers at other events- always thought ties were broken by who completed their round first with first in being last out.

My opinion about the Tiger Sergio shot is this. Sergio and Tiger were 50 yards away from each other so thats already a long distance.  If you just watch the replay of when Sergio hits his shot it sounds like the noise came after he made contact.  But when you watch the split screen you can see that the noise was well before Sergio's shot.  There is no way that either player could have helped the situation (Tiger is playing ready golf/Sergio is focused on his shot) its just one of those things in golf that happen.  But the blame that nobody seems to be talking about should be on the spectators.  The fans should know that Sergio is about to hit and should not be yelling during another players routine.  You can even see Tiger make a gesture towards the fans to be quiet when he pointed in Sergio's direction.

You're correct, but it sounds like Tiger cleaned up his putt out of turn, so had they followed protocol and Sergio sank his putt, Sergio would have actually holed out first.

So Sergio was upset because Tiger's crowd cheered when he swung... Tiger responds "It's not that strange for Sergio to complain" Sergio: "it's no secret we don't like each other, I'm glad we aren't playing together in the inal round" Go Tiger, Sergio is such a whiny baby.

Missed this yesterday.  Did anyone catch Lee Westwood's tree aided whiff?!

I had it going in the background but I managed to see that one as it happened. Hilarious!

His reaction is even better... "Wtf?!?" Glad he didn't hurt himself...

If Westwood loses by a stroke, that whiff will hurt even more.  I've done it before - shrubs in the backswing. Surprised he tried it again, but with a shorter swing. I would have hit it backhanded after the first whiff.

TCG/Chamblee talked about LaCava having a role in this whole Tiger-Sergio mess. Caddies should have said something to each other to avoid the situation that happened.   Chamblee said TW owed Sergio an apology to let him know that it was unintentional. Sportsmanship. TW was never known to have it either (like Sergio).

Anyone watch the live coverage on PGA.com? I watched for hours on Friday and this a.m. (Kaymer/Schwartzel). Enjoy looking at the course layout more than anything....

Yup...two guys that both have the Hogan-esque ability to remember everything and never let a grudge slide...

I would imagine that had Tiger's crowd cheered during Sergio's backswing and Sergio managed to still hit a good shot, he wouldn't be complaining... He hit it bad and looked for an excuse. It's like when you run your elbow into the door then punch the door like it was ITS fault. Lol

Sergio should never be put in the same sentence with Hogan for any reason.

Haha, I posted there because I didn't think anyone had brought it up yet, then I saw it here... Sorry.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
