Interestingly, his back doesn't seem to twinge on the shots that he's happy with.... ;-)

Yeah, Tiger's short game is shakier than Muhammad Ali playing Jenga. He just seems lost, like he has no clue why is not working.

pgatour.com or pgatour app both have (NC) or (SC) immediately adjacent to each players name. So perhaps that's a Tiger-specific tic, just like all of the PGA tour players have adopted the s

Funny; whenever he's playing to a half decent standard he'll soldier on in case he can win but whenever he's playing like a weekend hacker he has an injury which conveniently crops up.

Either that or he's playing like crap and the change in how he's playing really does cause injury.

Yeah.....

......must be.

Couldn't be anything else, right?

When I responded to your last comment I assumed that you were joking.  Now I'm not so sure.  Are you suggesting that he's faking an injury so he can quit?

He was +2.  If he wanted to fake an injury and quit, wouldn't he have done so last weekend before he turned in that 82?

Taken out of context much? How about we add the rest of the quote in there? Here, allow me:

I don't think he's faking anything.

As soon as he said he had his "explosiveness" back............here comes trouble

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Dude needs to seriously take a year off. I know he wants to get back to winning. He can't go more than a few events before his back is acting up. Clearly he hasn't rehabbed it well enough to sustain any sort of competitive level of golf. The guy needs to seriously reevaluate how he is handling his back.

Yeah, he's not faking. Anyone who says he is is an idiot. However, he does have problems and I hate saying this, but Tiger's career is in serious jeopardy right now. Forget breaking Jack's record. I think it's a fair and valid point to question whether Tiger Woods will ever even win a tournament again and play at a high level. This may very well be the beginning of the end for his career.

Not taken out of context at all.  You (strongly) implied that he fakes injury when he's playing like crap.  The fact that you hedged after that with an alternative option does not change that first comment in the least.  By itself, or with the addition, it still means that you think maybe he's faking it.

And my response (to both of you) was just to remind you that he didn't do any of that last week, so it's a bit disingenuous to suggest to suggest that "whenever he plays bad" he does this.

Tiger must gotten this text on the 3rd tee -

According to Jose Lambiet of Gossip Extra (a South Florida tabloid), Woods might still owe his ex-wife Elin Nordegren over $50 million as part of his divorce settlement.

That'd make anyone's arse a bit sore.....

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
