Daughter's response to dad playing with Tiger: Text me when it's Spieth

He was being metaphorical. It is silly to think that any PGA golfer wouldn't have a swing to envy.

Still, Tiger looks like he swings pretty well lefty. [URL]http://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-left-handed-shots[/URL]

I'd be more worried about Phil playing righty; he'd probably be scratch or better from that side of the ball. ;-) But yes, I see your point, Tiger would probably get me if he played lefty, damn. I'd hope for a few of those chunks.

I think Vijay is the real switch hitting talent.

I'm sure many folks remember this story better than me, but I remember when I was much younger that Mac O'Grady was also scratch as a lefty, and he wanted to play in the US open as a pro righty and as an amateur lefty, both in the same tournament. Anyone else remember that, or was it too many hallucinogens when I was in school?

He was actually better than scratch lefty and he has two staff bags labeled Mac O'Grady I (righty) and Mac O'Grady II (lefty).

Ok back on topic now!

Right because you wouldn't want a 14 time major champion ruining your swing :doh: Even as bad as his year was, his scoring average was still 72.  To the poll question, I voted for Tiger, I like Spieth but Tiger still moves the needle more than Spieth. I also think the daughter meant the tweet to be a joke and just didn't know what to do when it "blew up".

Right, and that scoring average of 72 probably translates to a 67 on the tees and course us mortals play on.

I'm an 8 and I would smoke Tiger if he played lefty.

You would not. [quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/84247/daughters-response-to-dad-playing-with-tiger-text-me-when-its-spieth/36#post_1195678"] Right, and that scoring average of 72 probably translates to a 67 on the tees and course us mortals play on.[/quote] Probably less. But you get to the point where putting equalizes scores so they cannot go too low.
