You'd think that after going through the whole press conference to the world shit, that he'd have learned his lesson.  Wonder what his therapist in his sex addiction clinic would have to say about this whole episode.

Too much traction for a story in a bat boy spotted type tabloid. If it was anyone but Tiger the story would be ignored.

no, if LeBron cheated on the first wife, paid a king's ransom to his ex-wife, then pledged to the country that he made a mistake, only to show the same pattern again with another woman, sportsfans would be all over it....if Rickie Fowler did it, same, if Tom Brady did it, same......Tiger is on the world stage.....there are hundreds of sports stars who'd get this focus.

Tiger is a human being. He was raised a certain way to achieve greatness. Did he ever have a chance to be just a normal, rebelious kid? The way he is now is a product of his upbringing. Similar to maybe Michael Jackson although Tiger is not deviant like that. The guy needs to be left alone. Maybe he can't stay faithful to one woman due to a personality issue. But really, how much scrutiny can a guy take before something tragic happens?  Who doesn't have an issue or two in their lives?

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

, if Tom Brady did it, same......

Ha!  Why do you think he didn't want to turn over his text messages to the NFL?

Tom Brady likes the flat hookers.

Reported by the National Enquirer, yea, sorry not buying it.

But Agent K said it was "the best investigative reporting"! :-P

We'll see if Tiger sues for libel, eh?  I promise you it vetted this story carefully and had its lawyers review it before it went to print.

Actually you may find this hard to believe but most main stream papers, web sites and media, such as the big 4 ANC, NBC, CBS and Fox, by today's standard do very little in the way of reporting as a result of investigating. They are happy to report someone else's find and report their own opinion. rags such as National enquirer no longer report 2 headed aliens, but actually uncover many of the top stories, many that turn out to be factual. they have professionals digging and interviewing. TMZ is another one, they dig and investigate. Don't under estimate N.E. For as crazy as its cover to grab people's attention For it was they that uncovered and subsequently interviewed Lewingsky and her blue dress, Jonathan Edwards out of wed lock child, the anthrax attack, Micheal Jackson was gravely ill, 5 months later he was dead, Whitney Houston cocaine and alcohol binge, leading to her death a few days later and there is more. I too had the impression of what they were all about, until a college roommate that currently works for the NY times filled me in just how accurate and frequently they " get the story" or find the " smoking gun" thru investigative, feet in the street reporting. As he put it , most maine stream news you hear, the person that wrote it never left their desk and often pretty inaccurate of its initial findings. I have no idea if it's true, but I will give it some thought of what if is.....well it would certainly explain the suddenness of The dufners divorce as well as Woods/Vonn. Relationships usually do not end that quickly, divorces finalized that quickly, it always struck me as odd or there has to be more to that.Lindsey Vonn days ahead of the announcement didn't come across has things were not right, after the masters...she sounded very up beat and positive. And no I don't subscribe or have ever owned a copy of the NE, I don't watch TMZ and I don't get my news from the big 4, the golf channel or ESPN.

Pretty much what I was going to write but was too lazy.  I do recall seeing LV on Fallon or Kimmel and she did not seem at all happy just before the Masters.   The break up followed immediately thereafter. . .

Only one word can sum this up.........AWESOME

    • 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?
