I haven't had a chance to watch any golf so far this week but it was pretty cool to just pull up the scoreboard and see Tiger's name at the top. I'll be watching and rooting for him this weekend, it would be a great story if he can play his way into the playoffs.

I had a feeling at the beginning of the week that he might be able to compete on this course since it's not overly long or penal off the tee (but I definitely wasn't expecting this showing). I don't know but I'm guessing he's taking more 3 woods off the tee? and the putts that have just been missing for him the past few months have started to drop. Either way, I hope the good play continues. It would be amazing for golf if we could have the likes of Rory, Spieth, and Day all entering their prime at the same Tiger finds his game again.

Also, really cool to see DL III up there. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

Learning so much on this site. Tiger just had 153 uphill to the green and he had a 9 iron in his hands. I thought "he's going to flight it" and he did.

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.

Glad to know there are perfect guys like you around that I can look up to...

I am tentative to think Tiger can string together 4 solid rounds in a row. Do I wish, yes. Believe, no.

I am hoping Carl Petterrson pulls it off

Not me. I don't want to see that broomstick anywhere the leader board ever again. I cannot believe Carl and Adam are still dragging those things around still....

i'm in the same spot as you are with tiger... 10 years ago, you could have engraved his name on the trophy right now... but i'm still in "hope for 4 solid rounds, but need to actually see it before i believe it" mode... re: broomstick... carl (and adam) are cashing as many checks as they can before changing... i think i would do the same... fortunately in another couple of months we won't see that thing anymore... :-) re: kaymer... as good a chance as anyone... we know he's got plenty of game, and when his flat stick gets going, it is a thing of beauty to watch him putt...

What does anyone think of kaymers chances?


I think he will make a decent showing but his game is not completely there this year. I suspect he will maintain but not advance his position....IMHO...

I suspect you may be right. Although he is capable as we know.

Almost all the guys are capable. Keeping it together year after year is the hard part. When he gets on a streak he is almost unbeatable but he is a consistently decent player with occasional weeks of beyond great playing. Just cannot keep his game in the beyond great area for any consistency.

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

Wow.

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.

Really? Where was the "cool it" for the guy talking about Tiger's 4 hour erection?  Tad one-sided, are we?

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.

I have never heard anyone use Eldrick for any reason other than as a put-down.  No one uses it to seem like a real fan.  I do not know what circles you travel in, but I've been on a lot of forums, dating back to the 90s in the usenet days(rec.sports.golf - annika1980 where are you?), the TGC discussion boards, and I have never seen Tigers fans using Eldrick.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Is calling him Eldeick supposed to be an insult?


It is helpful when people use "Eldrick" because it allows identification of a "holier than thou right wing christian", generalized long time hater of Tiger (possibly racially motivated) in general that you cannot speak logic to (kind of like religion or political conversation) or a plain old troll.........sometimes all three...

I suggest you limit conversation and responses and move on....

1) Let's not forget Spieth turned pro a couple years before Tiger. Not saying Spieth is going to have a run like Tiger did with cuts made, but he's likely to be closer to Tiger than Rory or Phil as far as cuts made.

2) I am a bit one-sided rooting for Tiger to win and others to lose. Sorry...I would like to see Tiger get into the playoffs. Just saying.

Eldrick with the outright lead!  (and I'm using his name out of respect).

Say what you want about his personal life, it's electrifying to see the greats in any sport do well.  As long as they don't cheat like many roided-up baseball players and Tom Brady, it's all good (to a certain degree of course as well).

Tom Brady's cheating is sketchy at best.

Boy I sure do love double standards....

:no:

Like Chris P said.   I am actually pulling for Tiger despite the fact that I have money on several other players,  but things like this make it a bit harder....

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
