That was better than I thought it would be.

Congrats Phil.  I hope his brother gets the standard 10%! 

Yeah? Did you have low expectations? I give it a C-......A C had Tiger won. My thoughts:

1. Announcers over talked the on course discussions way too much.

2. Neither putted well at all.

3. Tiger’s chip In was about the only ‘exciting’ shot.

4. Tiger hits two 104yd shots long back to back from same spot?

5. Technically had commercials. PPV? Yeah no. Not enough golf/anything talk from both of them.

Yours?

I hated the old silly season crap, and had extremely low expectations.  

The golf was pretty mediocre too, but I’m glad Tiger lost, so there’s that!

Remember when cable was first coming out? Hey, we're paying for it so there will be no need for commercials! Yeah, right!

I heard Joe tell Tiger 104yds. That's why I said that.

Yeah I wonder if the hole location being moved changed the yardage. They kept saying 93 on the TV. If it was 104 then that's an even better yardage for me. 🙂 (J/K, duh… closer is better.)

Yeah I heard the 93 (from the announcers of course) but right after Joe was shooting with the range finder I heard him tell Tiger 104yds. When Tiger went long I wondered if Joe had made an error..lol.

That's just a terrible thing to say.

Well that would f***ing blow. I give it low odds, but… yeah.

Uhhhhh…………………………………

That's about as long as I can make that shot, too. 280 feet is… 93 yards.

Was Joe referencing the bunker? I can’t imagine why Tiger would want that yardage....Unless he was purposely planning on hitting long to spin back?

feel sorry for those who actually paid money to watch this shenanigan!

It was $20. I’ve had a lot worse things occur having spent $20.

[iacas]

Retweet this if you can, and tag some people. @Vinsk… Did you record so you can tell me what time that number was given?

If you say so. Was easily worth the $4 it cost me after my friends paid for the food and other things.

[Baldera1979]

yeah, it was only $20, but still...

Right, so it was $20. That's not a lot of money.

[Baldera1979]

I know it's not. But the point is that why you would you pay anything for something that doesn't matter in the end? Unless you're doing it for charity. 

[Vinsk]

@iacas I don’t use Twitter, sorry. But I’ve been checking if there’s a way to watch again, at least the play off. I couldn’t record it. Did you record? I know I heard 104yds called but I want to listen again and see If I’m mistaken about it.

I just listened. He said "104 last time right?" Meaning his wedge shot after he laid up on the playoff hole.

So… controversy avoided for Joey.

Because it's entertainment. When I go to see a movie, "it doesn't matter in the end…" except that I'm entertained for about two hours.
