[URL=http://www.tigerwoods.com/news/2014/08/13/89419822/tiger-to-take-time-off-to-rest-back/]http://www.tigerwoods.com/news/2014/08/13/89419822/tiger-to-take-time-off-to-rest-back/[/URL] Best decision he's made in a while. December is three and a half month from now. I'm interested to see what game he will bring if he returns at the World Challenge, but even more so next year.

Doesn't sound like he had much choice.....the doctors made the decision for him, he just followed.


It's the age we're in. Arod, Bonds, Lance, and so many more. I believe DJ has done it too and been caught and sanctioned, quietly. I really don't say this to create a firestorm but to indicate that the assumption is not so very far-fetched nor is it unique by any stretch. Just don't have the same faith I once did in these guys and many, many others are in the same boat as me.

Lol, close but not quite. I thought he was suspended for PEDs, not pot and coke.

FTFY

I didn't think he looked too defeated. December's a ways out.

Ha. Yeah he in the short cut range now. He needs to give up the "comb forward". Needs t keep it at 1/4 of an inch from here on out. His whole get up was weird. I don't know that the jacket helped...

Yeah, it was a t-shirt and a jacket, or something? But not in the cool way. No print on the t-shirt.

It was probably an athletic style shirt, a collarless polo type, but it looked terrible.

Agreed. He looked like a duffle bag.

Quick Tiger update, he's in full practice mode and his body is "leaner", although he wasn't that "bulky" in the first place.

I agree. He wasn't overly bulky. Though who knows how getting a bit leaner might make him feel. It could be a mental thing, maybe feel a bit more athletic. I am sure everybody has their limit from where they feel too bulky to where they feel leaner.

Happy to have Chris Como consulting and working with me on my swing. I’m excited to be back competing.

To be clear, virtually nothing will happen to or for us or 5SK because of this. Nor should it - it's Chris's accomplishment, etc. He has been a 5SK Director since last October when we visited with him, Dr. Kwon, etc. in Dallas, TX on our way to train some other great instructors (like Corey Lundberg, Preston Combs, and others) in San Antonio, TX.

I disagree with you.. If it is ever mentioned by him or by tiger that will automatically increase the web search for 5sk.. If 5sk is never mentioned then yes it is as if nothing happened. No one is taking anything away from him, but it is just marketing nothing else.

    • Day 5 - 30 minutes of green-side work. Lofted club chipping, bump and run with 9 iron. 
    • I don't know if it's the torque balance or whatever else. But I got fitted for an Edel 4.0 a few years back and gained a bit under two strokes on the green! So, at minimum, get fit 😁
    • Yes, thats still your NPCR.  Your stance might be OB, which is legal, it might be down the cliff, or in water in a Penalty Area, those factors don't disqualify that from being the NPCR. However, once you make that drop, you have a new situation, one for which a left-hand stroke might be reasonable.  As you describe it, if you went further left of the path the ball might be OB if you got your feet off the path in taking a left-handed swing.  If all that is true, your NPCR for a left-hand swing could be on the right side of the path.  Its important to consider a probable sequence of relief situations before you decide to lift the ball to take relief the first time.
    • This is one of the handiest rules of thumb to remember. If relief is free, it's one club length. If it's with penalty, it's two club lengths (or on the line away from the flag when that's allowed). On the OB question, suppose your ball is on the cart path and your reasonable swing setup is right handed and you "have" to take relief (says it's a mini cobblestone path and the ball is sitting down and you're guaranteed to blade it and not really know where it's going, and probably damage your club). Your NPR is left of the path, as it almost always is for a righty. But while the ball can be in bounds, your feet will be across the OB line between the hole and the houses lining the fairway. Is that still an NPR? Are you allowed to take a right handed swing with your feet OB? What if the OB is a cliff or other landscape feature that means you can't stand there? Does a point on the left hand side of the path still count as NPR?
    • The OP says "under a prickly ugly bush" Not being there and in the absence of a clear photo of the situation, I am not entirely convinced about the reasonableness of the claim. However, DavePo43 is of course correct in all other aspects.
