It sure is nice to hear from some athletes in here telling us that shin splints can't stop a round of golf. . . we are forced to look at other possibilities. . . perhaps he sprained a jaw muscle chewing gum . . .

......or, perhaps, it is a hangnail causing the fuss, or maybe there's a gremlin in his pants pulling his short hairs. Yeah, and the Queen of England and I are having tea, scones and clotted cream, even as I type this! Yeah! That's the ticket.

LOL, you are cracking me up Shortgame.

I keep trying to give you some more rep, but I have to "spread it around" before it accepts.

Keep it coming.

Sorry guy's I did not know you had all the facts about Rory's situation. I guess this was the point I was trying to make that we really don't know and can only speculate at this point. I have made it to about 12 PGA events a year for the past 22 years- not saying this makes me any more knowledgable than you but I do have some insight.

I'm staying with Fred Couples on this one. He wasn't pulling any punches or making excuses. For another tour player to call someone out, especially someone like Freddy, it has to be bad. They just don't ever do that. I know what you are saying, but have you ever seen that happen before, especially with a class act like Couples?

I would have to agree. If you can get Couples to take a shot at the guy publicly, then it has to be bad. Freddy is a guy that usually has good things to say about everyone. For it to get to the point where guys are ripping him, they have to be fed up with him.

Well said, as the public comments are definitely against the "Code of Honor", or in this case, dishonor.

One rep point for you!

Speaking of not pulling any punches, I heard that Freddy, being one of the most friendly, thoughtful and gracious fellows on tour, offerred, at no charge, to give Rory, upon his return to the states, a prostectamy with his long putter ( does Freddy use a Seemore? ). It was reported that Freddy's reasoning included the idea that without his prostate, Rory might settle down, focus on his game and, as a result, become a more civil and respectful member of the PGA Tour, and cease his yipping at the heels of his demonstrably superior rival and FOF ( Friend of Freddy ), Tiger. It was not clear whether or not Rory accepted Freddy's offer. Stay tuned.

OK, OK, I admit it! I let TourSpoon egg me on! I'm ashamed, I'm sorry and I'll indulge in a bit of selflagelation, but not with a Seemore.

Shin splits has long been the "go to" excuse for dropping out in sports. There are no observable symptoms and it is unverifiable. Like your wife having a "headache", you just have to take his word for it.

I'll bet he didn't walk with a limp packing his gear and going to the car. SubPar

You know there used to be more honor in the game as well, for a lot less money.

I will pose the question again, have you ever heard of a pro of Couples stature call out another of his tour brethren and take him to task in public?

I think it still comes down to this being an issue over how he left not why he left. If he called Tiger himself and said I cant walk and play well with these evil shinsplints I am sorry but I have to WD, Tiger says O.K. I understand.

Anyone with shinsplints can tell you they are bad news and very very painful

You know- when Rory said that Tiger did not look to be in top form. I mean I don't think his comment was that bad and maybe was the truth?

Wait a minute, the other night my wife claimed shin splints and a headache. hmmmm....

Perhaps Rory should use the 170K to hire a caddy like Tiger's Stevie. Tiger doesnt have to tick off camera clickers or hecklers, he has Stevie to do it for him.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
