2015 Memorial Tournament Discussion Thread

[Mr. Desmond]

Browsed through the "Not the Leaderboard"

While we focus on Tiger, it was not a great scoring day around the last 15 ...  and it was not unknown names. Phil a 78 just to mention one... saw several 77 and 78 ...the new sensation Patrick Rogers had a 78 after two rounds in the 60's.

Look at day 1 leader  Bo Van Pelt -- 64, 72, 78,  That's not a good progression.

tough course, wind yesterday?

Phil and Stricker are the early morning LIVE pairing.

I'll probably be watching the end of the Nord Masters on Golf Channel.

Update on Tiger's round, made the turn at -2. That's 8 strokes better than yesterday.

[colin007]

Hour and a half to play nine. He's taking his time.

[Chris E]

If that's the standard you have to post after the round and admit your folly, too, if he finishes it properly. And @David in FL and others.

Also, @Chris E, there's a lot more to talk about here than TW. Lots of golf topics.

I thought I made it pretty clear upthread that I don't care to post alot, though I admit I read alot of threads. I have about 20 websites I visit daily, and this is one of them regardless of what kind of drama Tiger (usually self induced) is going through at the moment. So, when your fanboy webhit count goes down when TW goes away it won't be my fault...I will still be here lurking.  The only reason I post on TW threads is because I find humor with his blind fans and I react when people such as yourself call others 'haters' or 'racists' because they are critical of him, many times legitimately so IMO. I don't like discussion shut down by those types of labels, and you engage in it yourself. I find that cowardly and moblike. I also don't care to post if he finishes with no drama....I will probably post on the subject if he claims injury and his fanboys come in here claiming that is why he is sucking so badly. Or, if he shoots something decent and his delusional fanboys start claiming he is back or some such BS. That's my folly, I admit it.

Having seen that I'm glad you don't post more. Or is saying that cowardly too? Cuz what I see as cowardly is expecting others to "admit their folly" without doing the same. You paint with a broad brush that somehow misses yourself.

Tigs has birdied every other hole since 5. Through 10 so far looking nice.

The rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

Nope. I still think he is effectively done.

I'm sure you are glad, I'm not your forum core and if there were more of me and Patrick this place would be a food fight. Some of your Tiger fans would tromp off to another part of the web for a friendlier echo-chamber. We can't have that....so I find amusement and give you web traffic and the fanboys can sit around and dream of Tiger. It's win-win!

But, can you read, or do you just 'see' as you posted? I was direct in the thread you quoted about what my folly is, and you either ignore it or don't get it with your reply. The rest of your post is just straw-grasping "I know you are but what am I" deflection BS, because it is surely not me that is under the spell of delusion in here. Yes, I'm cowardly by calling out delusional BS and people shutting down discussion by tossing around labels like hater and racist. Right.

[Crim]

U-G-L-Y chipping and a 3 putt at the par 5, 15th. Double bogey. Gross.

[Crim]

Maybe you're not a Tiger hater, but you certainly seem like a Tiger fan hater. I've seen you throw labels around. Man crush and whatnot. You don't need to have a man crush to enjoy watching the greatest of all time (or 2nd). Whether he's shooting in the 60's or 80's, it's still exciting. The proof is in the pudding, you said it yourself, that you mainly only post to counter-balance the "Tiger lovers."

Hypocrisy is all I see. They throw labels. You throw labels.

Perhaps its time to mature out of this role?

[iacas]

Whatever you say buddy. Enjoy your Sunday.

[TreyWingbat]

Eldrick is so inconsistent from hole to hole.

[Crim]

Indeed, horrible finish for Tiger. End up with a score of 74 on the day. Score of 40 on the back 9.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I suspect @Natural Patrick would rather not be associated with you. I could be wrong but @Natural Patrick doesn't seem to be a jerkoff. Opinionated, yes, but we all are and it IS possible to have a strong opinion about something without being a jerk about it.

[Scotsclaff]

4 over for the last 4 holes but a much better round for tiger(74),I wonder if he considers it a 'better" round.

I reckon the rough at Chambers will slaughter him.

[atb5079]

Lol Tiger ugh why?!?!?!??!?!?!? I am done with you.

Rosey gonna run away with it today?
