From Golfweek: Tiger Woods made 18 birdies to Rory McIlroy’s 12. But the game at this level is more about minimizing mistakes, so although McIlroy finished T-8, Woods was miles behind at T-69. That’s because whereas McIlroy made just six bogeys, Woods made 10 bogeys, four doubles and one triple.

That almost sounds like my game.  But instead of birdies, it's pars.

LOL.

I make bunch of pars, but have a few blow up holes.  And some blow up holes (albeit relatively rare) are like nuclear bomb detonations - unfortunately.

You should be proud regardless. You just used all three forms of the word "to" in a single sentence, and all properly.

Listen, fall back, take several seats because I can take you to school on this issue, so don't push your luck. Taking what I said as an insult to "your" country shows a certain level of ignorance on i

Wow, that's gotta be close to a record for him in terms of over par holes for a tournament.

I'd love to look this up, so maybe someone knows. I wonder if Tiger had two or more 7+ on par-5s [i]in a year[/i] before 2013 (and as a pro; maybe he did as an eight year old or something). He had two in one day at the Players' this year.

That must have been a frustrating tournament for the both of them.

Rory looked incredible but just couldn't get the birdie putts to fall.

Tiger showed many moments of brilliance followed by moments of WTF.

Yeah...I dunno...just something about those two that seem so much more...genuine than any pic I saw of Amanda and Dufner. I always thought Dufner just looked so out of place with Amanda.

In this relationship, he's the one with the looks.

Let's just say that she must have a really nice personality.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Two Brits teaching pros play the last three holes at TPC in January.....course looks very different without the grandstands. Notice the catwalk they used on #17 (9:40 min mark).   Using Billy Mayfairs' caddy....filmed in January but the grandstands were already being put up.

Dera Rickie,

Four words: Buy her some food.

      Ruling Needed? Immovable Obstruction?

      By saevel25 ·

      Good advice.  When you see a golfer taking short steps, looking down at the ground, it's probably checking for temporary water.  There are plenty of cases were just hitting it from the bad lie is better than where you would drop it. Like hitting of a cart path.

      Yea I find it ridiculous people having an issue that he could drop in the fairway. Every relief situation is its own instance. You re-assess after a drop. Sometimes the drop is in your favor or not.  Too many scramble only golfers commenting on golf rulings. Usually scrambles you need to maintain the same lie if you hit with in a club length of the ball. 😉

      MSN J. J. Spaun relief from sprinkler head under fire for not being in the spirit of the game. While I understand the advantage he gains by dropping a ball that ended up in rough in the fairway doesn't seem to kosher in lot of people's eyes, but I suspect this happens more often than lot of people realize and players take the entitled relief every time when the opportunity present itself. Not fair to call him out as a person of 'no integrity' IMO.  A lot of people do not know that both fairway and rough are part of the same general area and ROG does not distinguish them as far as relief is concerned.

      Another Surgery for Tiger

      By saevel25 ·

      Jack played in 7 tournaments in 1986. He was on his way out. He was not training or trying to be the best in the world. Honestly, he just caught some good golf at the right time.  Who says Jack wasn't battling injuries at that time either? A lot of stuff wasn't reported on until post 2000 in terms of covering athletes.  At what capacity? He can play, but he can't compete at any sort of level for the PGA or Senior Tour.  Yes, most of them walk away.
