I've never been too worried about his length. Accuracy on the other hand...

Today (Friday) I believe.  Tiger has made a few off-course decisions in life that didn't work out too well.  This will rank right up there.

I disagree, and will urge you to please remember our rule: no politics.

And yes, today. I thought today was the 25th for some reason.

Dana Dahlquist has some photos of Woods on the range I think today. That A9 position looks like less stress on the back.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Nah, it's becoming something of a tradition for Tiger to hurt his stock on Thanksgiving :-P

Please stay healthy this year, Tiger. If you can't come back, then what hope do I have? Rooting for him this season, despite my razzing here haha.

Hmmm, how to comment on this without being political... 

This is challenging haha. OK, here goes:

Respect to Tiger not caring at all if people will approve of this or not. I like that.

He's played with every president. That's remaining neutral. You either play with none of 'em or all of 'em.

Woods looks like he has old man finish, but according to Faxon, hit it past DJ half the time, hey if it goes far and straight, who cares how it looks?

I read Woods is designing a Trump course, forget where, so if true, partly business round.

A point I hadn't considered before:

Quote

One more point: I think the rehab stint was more important for Tiger than we can know. The DUI report made clear how out of control his prescription drug use had become. Tough to play golf like that. If his mind is clear and his body flushed-out from all of those toxins, that could make this comeback much different from all the previous, aborted ones.

Wow!!!  This I did not realize the rate of winning when leading after 54 holes.  It just show how great he was in his prime...

Quote

 In his prime, Woods converted 93 percent of his 54-hole leads/co-leads – by comparison Jack Nicklaus converted 60 percent of the time when leading after three rounds – and he’s spent 683 weeks as world No. 1. Everyone else has a combined 384 weeks atop the world ranking since 1997.

    • This. Whatever your longest iron is where you won't be in the trees a high percentage of the time. If that's shorter than 7i (as in, you'll have to hit a longer iron for your approach bringing trees back into play with high probability), I agree you're better off getting closer. But again play the percentages. If your 3w or 5w dispersion is solidly narrower than your driver, hit those. But some people hit driver straighter, so whatever gives you the highest probability of not being in the trees.
    • Essentially find the longest club you can hit straight and go with that off the tee.  You want the shortest shot into the green for your second.  If that is the hybrid or 7i or even PW, go with that.  You lose a lot more by being OB and having to re-tee
    • @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?
    • How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.
