Don't fret, you're young and your brain is still developing. I'm confident that you will eventually begin to figure things out . . . someday. Don't give up.

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 ?

    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
