http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/vonn-announces-she-and-woods-have-split/ [QUOTE]Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are no longer a couple. Both Woods and Vonn released separate statements Sunday saying that they have mutually decided to split up after nearly three years of dating. “I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I’ll always cherish our time together," Woods wrote in a statement on his website. "She has been amazing with Sam and Charlie and my entire family. “Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It’s difficult to spend time together.” [/QUOTE] They were doing this: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/65592/tiger-and-lindsey-vonn-are-dating layout=block][/CONTENTEMBED] They were apparently never doing this: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/80062/tiger-woods-and-lindsey-vonn-getting-married layout=block][/CONTENTEMBED]

And all you ever post about is Tiger practically. That stuff is common knowledge. What do I know? Vonn had her first husband cheat on her and was vocal about Tiger negatively back in 2009.

He said he didn't understand why Tiger only likes blondes :-) On a side note, what I find sad is that anyone has to publish a release that they have broken up with their significant other. Like

Reminds me a lot of Rory-Wozniaki. I think Wozniaki took away some of Rory's playing and practice time away just like Vonn took away some of Tiger's practice time. It's no coincidence that over the last two months Tiger's done nothing but practice his tail off and now the two are breaking up. Sometimes when you're a star and you're dating another "star", it's hard to commit to one thing.

I actually think this is a good thing for "Tiger the golfer". Look for him to now pay more attention to golf and I expect very good results going forward. Tiger will now be a much more focused player much like Rory was after his breakup.

If I remember Rory dumped Wozniaki over the phone,

Quote:
The paper said McIlroy “called off his engagement with Caroline Wozniacki by telephone.” It also reported the call came “less than a day after telling her how much he loved her, it was three-minute conversation she thought was a joke.”

To me this sounds like a mutual separation and doesn't seem anything like the Rory and Wozniaki break.

I do agree it does seem a bit auspicious that Tiger wants to ramp up his summer schedule and he might think it best, or heck maybe it is Vonn who wanted more and Tiger would not bend his schedule to compromise.

Either way it might be a good sign for Tiger's golf game.

It's got to be tough to be such a public figure that you have to release a statement to update everyone about ending a relationship. Best of luck to both of them.

If I were Tiger, I'd be finding her. Oh can you imagine the Golf Drama that would cause.

Y'all are totally off. Woods is pissed about what she said about golf on Fallon. :-)

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

Lindsey found one too many Perkins receipts in Tiger's pockets?

Decision was mutual. Seeing as how her hubby cheated on her I do not think she would agree to say it was mutual if he was cheating on her. Give me a break pal.

Time demands for athletes of their caliber has to be immense so it's not a surprise that it didn't work out.  I think they'd both like to have someone supportive around them all time while they are in training and that's not possible unless one of them gives up their career.  I wish them both the best.

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By klineka ·

      I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?

      Would You Rather…?

      By klineka ·

      Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.

      By p1n9183 ·

      In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%

      He won the Zozo after that to "tie" Sam Snead. But… yeah.

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By p1n9183 ·

      3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
