Now it is. :-) Just in time to watch woods flub that pitch.

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

Bad break for Tiger. After making his first birdie of the day, he stiffed a 6 iron on his second shot on a short par 5, but it rolled back and went 30 feet off the green. He obviously needs to get back to work on the short game because he ended up lucky to make 6. At least the full swing was there.

I'm not going to judge Tiger on one tourney. I'm thinking it's gonna take a little time for him to get back in the groove, maybe 3 or 4 tournaments..?

I think Tiger has a glaring weakness

Use the bounce, Tiger! He wouldn't have it happen near as bad that way, even if the club did end up catching on something.

Rusty for sure. Considering where the leaders are at his 77 is pretty ugly.

I dunno if it's rust. Strick had the same layoff Tiger had and probably hasn't hit anywhere near the balls Tiger has since Aug. I'm really beginning to think he's become an average player out there. It's probably premature but I don't think he has the mental strength he once did and definitely doesn't have the same physical gifts. He's an old 39. Tough to watch.

Chunks. I don't think I have ever seen him make four shots like in any round of golf. Not ever. Those four shots looked what you'd see at your typical muni.

Spot on, Gunther. The part about Strick also being off from competitive golf, but not having four of the worst chunks a tour player could possibly hit in one single round.

well considering he plays 16 tourneys per year, I think you are now referring to Augusta.  I did a quick look going back the last 5 years he is averaging 18 tourneys per year both here and abroad. of course the fedex cup takes up 4 of those.

It was his short game that let him down, right? Have you read LSW? ;-) It won't take much to get his touch back.

I though he hit some great "full swing" shots, on the back 9 in particular.

That's why I put the "probably premature" in there. ;) Honestly though, Tiger is done. He'll win a few more tourneys, no majors. 14 will be his number into perpetuity.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
