Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

For those who haven't seen the video: That is pretty bad. Not a huge fan of his "intent" getting him out of a penalty there.

Haha, just saw his tee shot on four. It didn't look too crazy, like in years' past. A tad aggressive yes, but not as bad as we've seen before. Maybe the adrenaline's down a bit now and he's more comfortable?

It looked a lot better on Hole 9 tee shot.  So maybe he's just settled in more now.  Except he's chunked a few chips.  Haven't watched them closely, but it appears his technique is off.

Par 5, GREAT 3wood, and then a chunk (and f bomb).  Seems very familiar

This is the first tee shot? That's pretty tame for Woods.

The recoil shot @nevets88 just posted makes me nervous, but maybe I'm just being a concerned mommy on the first day of school haha.

It didn't look as smooth in the follow through. Could've been a part of why he pulled it instead of the cut he wanted.  First tee jitters I guess or I'm thinking into it too much.

I haven't watched a whole lot of golf recently, but it seems to me like the pants get tighter every year haha. 

 

There needs to be someone punk rock on tour who brings back the JNCOs style jeans, just to troll everyone.

WTF with the chunks Tigs....

Tightly mowed aprons and hitting high lofted clubs will do that even to the best players. He's not the only one, just so much attention is being placed on him that we are seeing every single one of his chunks where other peoples might not make it on the telecast.

Update: Speaking of that, Kevin Chappell just chunked a pitch shot as well. Tiger isnt the only one.

The co-leader just missed the green from 30 yards because he chunked it. Chappel.

Bermuda with a lot of grain into you sucks. The ball sits down, so you swing down to it, and yet you still catch the fluffy "falls apart" grass that's not really "behind" the ball, but which the ball is sitting down into.

You basically have to hit those a few dimples thin. Which sucks.

It's particularly bad on sandy soil, because it further dissipates and absorbs clubhead speed.

I'll chip in a few bucks towards the sponsorship if this becomes a reality.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
