I know it's Arnold freaking Palmer, but I'd like to see a little more golf, and a little less "memories"...

although you might have a point there. Lots of Tiger money out there, I'm sure.

You out typed me. Once I thought about it for a second... There's a difference between the person who's the Vegas favorite and the best bet. Tigers showing this week ups the value on a lot of other players.

Yes, that’s what I was getting at, but also who do you think has a better actual chance?

Just making what I believe to be a factual statement....I haven’t looked at any actual odds but I would have to believe he is/will be the betting favorite. 

I understand that Vegas odds for Tiger have gotten a bit of ahead of themselves at times during his prior comeback attempts but it’s Bay Hill and Tiger. He could have won this week on a course not particularly well suited for him so I’ve got to believe he will be and deserves to be the favorite at a course that he has (arguably) played better than anywhere else during his career.

Not sure exactly who is in the field of the top guys. I know Tigers history at this event, but golf is not a sport where I think a chalk is a smart bet, especially in a regular season event. Maybe in a major, where the better players/favorites have been through the gauntlet. Even then, there's always so many value bets available.

You would know a lot more about this then me, but I thought Tiger looked a little tired today. probably as much mentally as physically. He's played a lot for someone who's been out such a long time. I'm really not expecting as much good play next week from him as he showed the last two. That said, with the next week off, I can't wait to see him at the Masters.

The bet isn't Tiger or the field, though, either. I'm asking which golfer you think has a better actual chance.

That's not got to do with betting or gamblers or the squares.

Think you missed my reply. I'd say Justin, Dustin, Rahm, and a few others have a little too much game for Tiger right now. BTW Hope you can reply to my post about Tiger looking a little "tired" today...

The staff deleted that reply because you put it in a quote and it linked back to a different post. It has no actual content.

Dustin Johnson isn't in the field next week. Nor is Rahm. And Tiger just beat Justin Rose, and has a great history at Bay Hill. 

So again what player do you think has an actual better chance, chalk betters aside, at Bay Hill, a place where a tiger has won seven times or so?

Scratch that. Eight times.

He did look tired, I agree, but I think that's the mental grind of hitting the ball pretty freaking well and not getting the putts to drop.

Tiger owns Bay Hill. That course is suited for his game so well. And he knows just how to pick it apart.

I don't see much of any one sticking with the GOAT if he brings the game he brought to Palm Harbor with a few more putts dropping.

Ok. I asked you, figuring you would know better then me if Tiger looked tired today mentally or physically. I'm not expecting a lot from him next week, I think he needs some rest right now.  But as far as who will be better next week? I just saw the field. What's up with these guys? It's like when Byron Nelson died, after that no one shows up. At best, Fleetwood, Reed, Fowler never impresses me where I think he'll win. Hell, even our buddy "Lumpy" Herron is in this field. I guess if Tiger can carry his play for one more week, he should contend.

So, what's your answer? Who has a better chance to win than Tiger, actual ability, betting completely to the side?

OK, so Iacas sent me a link earlier which showed who's in the field. What a horrible lineup. This has to be the weakest field of the year. I know it's a Invitational, but c'mon. Goydos Herron, Love, Els and more is this a Senior Tour event? Rory, Tiger, Rickie, Fleetwood, Reed and nobody else. UGH! Making late tee times this weekend, nothing to see here.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
