Oh, you mean you haven't seen his musings in the gen poli thread? He's quite involved, and so resolute in his opinions!

I think, barring injuries, it's nearly a lock that Tiger wins at least one next season. Hell, he has a good shot at the World Challenge this year.

A lock? I think he has a better than 50/50 chance, but a lock? Nothing is ever a lock in golf, especially with Tiger. You should know that.

I said "nearly" a lock - meaning a very damn good chance - barring injuries. I stand by that.

State of the Game podcast w/Grant Waite - @ 48:22, Waite outlines how Woods basically has 5 swings swirling around in his body and mind and how paralyzing that can be.

For you young whippersnappers who did not experience Woods in realtime, Waite talks about just how dominant he was in his prime near the start of the broadcast.

Woods commits to Frys.

Quote:

This will be Woods' second appearance in the event after a T30 showing in 2011. At the time, the American was finishing one of the worst seasons of his career. In this iteration, Woods will be looking to cleanse himself of a lost 2014-15 campaign that saw him post just a single top-10 in 11 events, miss the FedEx Cup playoffs for the third time in five years and drop to 272 in the world.

The tournament will be played at Silverado Country Club in Napa, California, beginning Oct. 15.

This is how he'll break Snead's record, entering the weak field events. It seems that is his chief focus right now.

He needs more competitive tournaments to get his game back.

I am not surprised by his decision to play.

I wish he would've played more before leading up to majors this year.

On a side note.  I've played Silverado CC few times.  Not much better than a typical muni course.  But being in Napa makes it look better.

Snead won many weak field events. Even some with a partner.

Sure, I've got no issue with Tiger going in this direction. It's great for those tournaments, it's great for we fans because those tournaments become interesting, and if he does break through, it'll be great for his confidence. I wonder though, if he doesn't win one of them soon, will it demoralize him? Getting beat by non-elite players has to weigh on him. I do think he'll break through and win 1 or 2 of these events over the next couple years. I'm happy I now have a reason to watch the Fry's, never watched it before.

Tiger had another microdiscectomy on Wednesday. Expected to return late 2016.

But, but he has committed to the Fry's. This just cant be true, how could he do this to his loyal fan base ?

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface. 
    • That truly had me laughing. Thanks If anyone is interested Sun Day Red is live. I clicked on the hats, seem they are sold out. Shorts 130 bucks, shirts 120, everything seems to be sold out already, at least from what I clicked on. 130 for shorts, I'll pass.
