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 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.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
