Jeff Gordon....Oh wait, never mind, you said athlete...(Just kidding(kind of))

Well after much thought it would have to be Tiger

Lets examine

Football Player.....I really am a wimp, I don't want to be somebody who gets hit all day.
Baseball Player....162 games. 1 day off a month. No Thanks.
Basketball Player....I would love to be able to dunk on a hoop higher than 7ft. However, it sure seems like they have to run up and down a lot. I am not huge fan of running, unless someone is chasing me.
Hockey Player....I love hockey, but no one would see me when I am on VS.

Golfer.....Perfect. Play in what ever tournament I want, when I want, and play a game I love. Who better to be than the best...Tiger.

He was nuts then too. He just had decent people around him. When he made the jump to the big bucks and the bad people it was a volatile mix that could only end badly.

Man could he fight though. Too bad he kept ducking Holyfield when they were both in there prime. That would have been an awesome fight. I still think Evander would have won, but I would have paid to see it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
