The only problem is "it's practice." The issue with Tiger has been he's chipped it great on the practice range and at home, and played great, but on the golf course, he can't do it. A lot of that is just plain mental. He needs to fix his mental game, and we'll find out Thursday if it's fixed or not.


That's not correct.

He was shanking it on the range at Torrey Pines. That was not only "practice" it was not even on the golf course.

That's how you categorize a top-20 finish coming back from an injury and no competitive rounds for 9 weeks? Okay then.

Watched some coverage last evening. El Tigre looked relaxed and ready. He'll make the cut and finish in the top 20.

146 is too low for the cut, remember it's low 50 and ties and those within ten strokes of the leader... not way out of line, if you said par (144), was going to be the cut... I would say you are nuts.

I will say this, watching all his chips on TGC practicing today, he looked good. In the 20 minutes I saw , he didn't chunck or blade even one shot. Take it for what's it's worth.

It's been more than just mental, his technique sucked. It was better today, he wasn't doing the shut face, stiff wristed stuff he was doing earlier in the year. He was even hitting some salty 5 yard mini flop shots after his full swing warm-up.

Hooray! It's Masters Week. My absolute favourite golf viewing week of the year.  You never know when a 1986 miracle will occur, or a 1996 trainwreck  which was painful but compelling to witness.  If Tiger is there and playing, all other lines sort of fall back. Just look at the interest in comments on this thread and it is only the finish of day 1.  The ultimate of course would be Rory vs. Tiger neck and neck on Sunday.  Buy Nike stock on e trade. lol.

He shot a 30 today playing 9 holes with O'meara? if that's true , things might be very very interesting come Sunday.

im pretty sure he was chipping and putting extra balls thoughout the"round". He also putted a 3 footer 20 feet past a hole to mess with the fans. I dont know where you saw he shot a 30 but im pretty confident in saying that didnt happen...thatd be insane

We've heard all of this before. All that matters is what happens starting Thursday. He has shown the past several years the inability to perform in majors, especially on the weekends. It's all between the ears. I still say he will stink it up then an injury will appear.

That, to me, is a pretty good sign that his game and more importantly his head are in decent shape... I still reckon he makes the cut but doesn't contend, but who knows with Tiger?

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

To be fair though, his purposely (i think...) ripped a shot out of the bunker and into the crowd for fun at one of the tournaments earlier this year. Than preceded to play terribly.

Twelve min vid of Woods practicing yesterday.

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

Same.

Yeah because of the angle, I can't tell the difference. I know Mvmac mentioned in one of the threads that there is a difference.

All I know is that he was using the bounce like a pro yesterday. Looked so comfortable.

Tiger on the course already this morning.

Sergio Garcia goes off as a single, Tiger and O’Meara follow behind off No. 1. Sergio calls the two up onto the green to play through.

Tiger’s drive is just in left rough (that’s damn near right for him) and he hits approach nicely onto green. Took a couple practice putts.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
