  1. 1. What do you think is a bigger deal, getting to play with Tiger or Jordan?

Parents just don't understand.

Twitter user Maddie tweeted the following text exchange with her father after he got to play golf with Tiger Woods and Notah Begay for his birthday.

Maddie was, to put it nicely, not impressed.

Ugh ... dad you're so embarrasing, gosh. Don't you know Tiger is so 2000-and-late .

The picture was taken on Wednesday at the Atunyote Golf Club at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, N.Y., site of the Notah Begay III Invitational.

The original tweet was mysteriously deleted, but Maddie seems to be reveling in her newfound social media fame.

Bigger deal? Tiger, duh. 14 time major winner, future HoF, and arguably GOAT.

Jordan seems like he'd be better company, though.

It's a teeny bopper being like... totally... a teeny bopper and the history you know best is that which you've experienced. Of course Woods is the bigger deal. That's like, the history I, like. totally ... experienced, ya.

Not surprising. I'd probably say the same thing had Spieth been my entry into golf, like Tiger was.

Tiger for sure! How often do you get to play with one of the greatest -- arguably the greatest -- of all time? Jordan probably won't get to the point where he's in that conversation, but he'll have a great career just the same. Not only is this guy playing with Tiger, but also with Tiger's friend who once shot 59 in a professional tournament.

From her perspective, Spieth is the hotter deal right now....probably in more ways than just his golf game.  What the heck is wrong with that and why should she be forced to take down her tweet?  I'm so sick of anything that even remotely resembles "political correctness."

From my perspective (like her dad), I'd love to play a round with TW for my birthday.

I think you're unaware of what the definition of, "political correctness," is.

I'd rather play with friends, not Tiger. I'm serious. I'm afraid his hideous swing would work it's way into my game. I have no desire to chunk, and/or shank chip shots.

But pounding morning beers on the course with Spieth would be pretty cool.

The original text was curious because he mentions Notah first. Is Notah Begay a household name to leave off Begay, or not qualify with "a great golfer named Notah Begay." Just Notah! And before Tiger. Like the Notah part would thrill her too. The key point was that he played with Tiger Freakin Woods!!! Holy crap. Maybe he had told her all about it before so context was that she already knew the scoop. Just struck me as funny.

She's a teenager, but not a very nice tweet if you are TW or a fan.  I am not a TW fan but would like to think that if he were paired up with me, and knowing full well I am a beginning golfer he would be nothing less than civil.  Are there other pros I would prefer to be paired with if given my choice?  Sure, but I would still be thrilled to play a round with TW.

Tiger Woods is a great golfer but I don't know how anyone can say "arguably the greatest of all time." You'd have Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus long before you even got to Tiger.

This isn't the thread for this discussion, but nobody I've ever met has put Bobby Jones in the GOAT conversation. As for Jack or Tiger: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/2203/jack-or-tiger-whos-the-greatest-golfer layout=block][/CONTENTEMBED]

As for Jack or Tiger:

it's not the first time for this poster that he has thrown saint bobby into the equation, and not the first time he's been asked to post those opinions in the "greatest golfer" thread...

it's safe to say he is not fond of tiger... :-P

I don't think his swing would look hideous up close. I think it would look amazing as would Spieth's. I would play with either. I would be more nervous around Woods though.

As for Jack or Tiger:

You need to get out more. Every list of the greatest golfers of all time has Bobby Jones in the top five. Also, I was responding to another poster above.

As for the comments "he doesn't like Tiger" you might want to think about add "reading comprehension" to your do list for 2016 as I've already stated that Tiger is one of the greatest golfers of all time, just below Jack and Bobby. But don't let facts get in the way of a good attack.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.
