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.

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

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.

      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?
