That is the only example you have ... I realize we all view things through different eyes, but I do not see it ... I see a young man that has some clear goals, and one can argue he has achieved most of them.

Tour Talk is becoming one of 2 things:

1 -  What pro is someone mad at this week?

2 -  This is how much I love/hate Tiger Woods?

I think we need to have a sub-forum of the Grille Room for this kind of stuff and move everything there.

edit:   3 -  What pro will I dislike because of non-golf stuff, yet excuse for someone I happen to like?

Really, I have my opinions based on what I know like every body else, and sometimes have a comment about it.   But some of these threads here are really, really getting out of hand.   It's like TMZ meets Morning Drive.

I was because facetious... he definitely is humble and has clear goals in that interview.  Some people on here state that he's never been humble.  Ever.

I was because facetious... he definitely is humble and has clear goals in that interview.  Some people on here state that he's never been humble.  Ever.

I understand that.   And it's funny.   My point was that we keep getting the same thread, again and again between 2-3 different types of people and it's starting to be a drag to come to this section because the topics at the top are generally running very negative.   Thread about Tiger are the biggest number, mainly because he is golf's biggest draw.

FTR, here's what I think the types are:

1 -  Tiger haters no matter what

2 -  Tiger loves no matter what

3 -  People with a reasonable opinion and when they state it, someone jumps on them so they jump back

4 -  People with a reasonable opinion who state it and then don't let themselves get dragged in.

5 -  People who ignore it

(Note I don't think that #1 and #2 might not have reasonable opinions on a topic, I just think that no matter what they are going to repeat the same thing over and over)

(2'nd note -  Replace Tiger with the subject of a number of other threads and something similar happens).

We shouldn't discourage people from saying what is on their mind, but we really need a Tour Talk gossip section if this keeps going on.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.
