Agreed. It was well written with some new anecdotes, but the overall themes surrounding Tiger Woods remain unchanged by the article.  The major point I disagree with is definitively declaring tha

Yes to both.

But seriously, him not playing in API is disconcerting.

Tiger Woods still has time to commit to next week's Players, but Notah Begay painted a picture of continued uncertainty.

There was some swing I saw in slow motion recently where his knee or something buckled. Dunno if ground slippery or something else.

I would imagine he's got one thing on his mind - a major at his best chance to win one - the AugNationalGolfClub.   It would be a shame if he was injured this time of the year, ask DustinJohnson.

Here in AugustaGa, we've had more days of rain than clear since Dec.  Almost 2 ft since first part of Dec.  We got 2.5" yesterday, rained for 4 days straight.  Pretty sure the 'creek' is up out there so it will be limited play before the Masters if it keeps up like so far.

If he's feeling at all worn down or tired this early in the season I guess he feels that he's more susceptible to injury.  How many legit shots at majors does he have?   can't be many.

Worn down from what? Torrey Pines and Riviera? He’s only played in two tournaments this year, right?

If he’s worn out already, he’s in trouble

I don’t see him competing at the Masters with no pre-tourney reps. It’ll be interesting to see if he plays Valspar or the Match Play, assuming his back loosens up by then. But yeah, I feel this is going to be what it’s like the rest of his career. He’ll be good one minute and then out the next.

We all thought he was back to his old self after the Masters, ZoZo, President's Cup success last year. However, Tiger always tried to lower the expectations by saying he was simply grateful to be playing competitive golf again. I think of all of this as "bonus" time for Tiger. If we see him play well and win again, it'll be a real treat. If not, what a ride it has been.

I think this lay-off will favor Tiger. Hear me out.

His back has been rickety this year, time to heal will do him some good.

His back functions better in the heat, if majors are played mid-summer. That is good for him.

He hasn’t been able to play a bunch of tournaments in a row for a year now. But if everyone is out of tournament shape, his disadvantage may be negated.

If they play all 4 majors at some point this year...he may be able to sneak one or two.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
