Dude you make absolutely zero sense.

No, you don't know how to read...

I asked why it bothers people when Tiger acts up yet Jordan always gets a pass...  The only answer I got was "He is 21 years-old"

I never said I hated when people show emotion on the course...

So does anyone know what happened to Tiger's drive on the par 5 # 14?  I saw it only went 161 yards.  Didn't know if he topped it or caught a limb he didn't plan on hitting.


Tiger Tracker didn't specify, but just said it was really, really bad. Some of the comments on his tweets said it was a top, but I can't say for certain.

Tiger has popped up shots in the past, so that could be it.

Tiger on in two!

EDIT: Ah, dammit. I should've put this in my last post. Sorry for the multi-posting.

Tiger got a pass at 21. Come on now. Don't be a moron. And Tiger's temper tantrums and whininess were a lot worse than what we see from Jordan. My point is simple....you make no sense because the reasons you cited you hate Spieth are the same reasons why you like Tiger. It makes no sense. But whatever. It's no big deal. Just trying to figure you out, that's all.

Dude, if that's his biggest issue going forward, we're in good f'ing shape.

I never said I hated Jordan...

I said he can act like a brat and that prevents me from really liking him.  I was 100% rooting for him at the Open.

I don't like Tiger for his f bombs and club throws.  I want to see him win as it goods for the game.

Especially when he drains the 7 footer for birdie!

Tiger now 10 under since his 3 over start.

I happened to glance at his swing yesterday when I went out for a few drinks with some coworkers. I found his swing to be way different than it was previously. Looks like he's done some good work.

Couldn't find any driver swing vids, only this 7 iron. Not watching until the weekend.

Well, not my answer....

But let's think positive.

It is great for golf when Tiger is in contention, moreso than any other golfer.

    • 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?
