A win is a win. Especially if you have been struggling.  Confidence.  It is not easy to win on the PGA tour.  For all the talk about Jordan Spieth....u win would have thought he has won 10 times in 2015......it's only 4.  4 used to be a below avg. season for Tiger.

Yawn..............Two of Jordan's wins are the same tournaments Eldrick missed the cut on.

Six if you count the World Challenge and Aussie Open which had a lot of top players in them. He also has a half-dozen runners up. And he has four playoff tourneys coming up. Jordan won't win 10 tourneys a year but he'll post some wins and a gazillion top-5s.

Driving it every which direction. Luckily this week you can get away with missing fairways.


Missing fairways, yeah, but I'd be willing to be his misses are much, much better.

Eldrick has an erection lasting over four hours when playing a bunch of C players on an easy course..If Jordan, Rory et.al, were in the field, he would be soiling himself ..


Did you come here just to talk shit about Tiger? Because we've got plenty of those.

Haters going to hate. Do I hear a little jealousy? Sorry there is only one Tiger.

You need to cool it down with the Tiger homerism. You're going a bit overboard. I'm actually trying to root for Tiger this week and you're making me second guess myself.

Eldrick... that's his real name.  A lot of people use it on forums to make it seem like they are real fans, as most people don't know Tiger's real name.

The way I see it being used here looks like someone is trying to cleverly jab at him when I don't think calling someone by their real name is an insult.

A full 100% of the people who use 'Eldrick' are doing it as an insult

Ok, I thought otherwise.

I know it sounds like an insult if you drop the "r" from his real name, but I always say Eldrick to everyone I talk to personally when I want to talk about how he's doing in a tournament, and I don't mean to be insulting, and nobody that I talk to takes it that way either.

Nothing personal, but I couldn't care less if you root for Tiger this weekend or ever again. I'm a fan and I'm rooting for him.

I'm rooting against Tiger, but I'm not a hater. It's all about the $$.

If Tiger wins, it'll cost me $900. So of course, I hope he craps his pants this weekend.

See , now that's a reason even I would root against TW. Money a supersedes TW victory,(of its enough ).

Is calling him Eldeick supposed to be an insult?

Eldrick is his name..

I'm not a hater..he has done a great deal for this great game. I don't care for woods because he squandered his reputation and legacy for some strange..I hope it was worth it. Guys that rise to his level of accomplishment should strive to be role models for future generations..not alley cats. clinton is cut from the same cloth..honorable men, men of character, have occupied the Oval Office..clinton is trash, and so is woods.

Do you think he set out to be a role model or the GOAT? His job is golfer and he's done pretty well at that particular job. Where does it say athletes are (or have to be) role models?

    • 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?
