  1. You know what. I bet that Player and all of the South Africans could give a hoot about what you think. They are not playing to entertain you but to compete. If you don't like their personality then too bad you Tiger ho.
  2. Since when does the "gentleman's game" involve over-the-top outbursts of emotion and vocabulary that is inappropriate for my sons ears (eg. Justin Leonard, Ryder Cup put; Tiger's mouth and hat throwing; Tiger's caddie breaking peoples cameras). Would Hogan, Snead, Nelson, Jones display this kind of "gentlemans game"? I think not. The gentleman part of this game is long gone. Oh yeah, forgot about that picture of the naked UCLA golf team being put in a prominent golf magazine, what "gentlemen"! Just when I though is was safe for my girls to read a golf magazine.
  3. I am really tired of participants gitting pissed at photographs being taking of them during their swing. Suck it up. All other sports have distractions that players must deal with. Wear some ear plugs when you swing if it bothers you. The excuse that it is quiet when they are swinging and the noise stands out is a lame excuse. Don't you think other sports have employed this technique during freethrows, penalty shots, etc.
  4. So I've heard that Sonartec has disappeared. Does anyone here know the juicy details? I have the GS Tour 3W and the Md hybrid and think they are great clubs. Would be sad if a company that made good products went down due to horrible personal.
  5. Holmes is going about it the right way. Speak softly but carry a BIG STICK. If anyone has a bit stick it is Holmes.
  6. NO it will not.
  7. Here is a tell tale sign. ACC/Big Ten challenge. ACC 8 wins, Big Ten 3 in 2007. On top of that the ACC has won the challenge every year since 1999.
  8. 8.5, with my swing it produces the best launch angle on a launch monitor.
  9. Scotty Circa62 No.2 (Red). After 3 months of trying everything out there, this is my lightsaber.
  10. I'm with SC and SU. It feels more natural with less manipulation. The best aid I've found to help me with this style is the putting arc. Not only does it provide you the feel of inside-to-square-to-inside but it provides you with an alignment at each stage to show where the face should be pointing.
  11. It all goes downhill once NG opens her mouth. Can you say eek. Taking off on the chest protector comment, when she gets those short skirts out it is like, "man where is here torso?" Girl needs to be balanced. She should stick to bikinis to help us all out.
  12. 1-The Bourne Trilogy: The movies were $%^&. Awsome books. 2-Other Ludlum (Bourne) are also great. 3-Lord of the Rings: At least they tried to follow the books. 4-The spy who came in from the cold: John LeClaire, excellet story with pathetic ending. 5-Naria Collection: All books are good but some are better than others. 6-Clinical Oncology: Ops sorry work slipped in. Tedious reading but accurate 7-Brown Bear, Brown Bear: my sons suggestion, great animal collection 8-Day after Tomorrow: Allan Folsom, freaky good book, ending was mind blowing. 9-The Alienist: Caleb Carr, psychological thriller that has psychokiller.
  13. Messed with one and did not like it at all. The stitching on the back was weird and I had questions regarding what happens when it gets damp (esp. when playing in the humid summers). Visually the stamping IMHO was not well though out.
  14. This is where it can get tricky. I suggest going to a fitter that has a launch monitor where you can hit the different shafts. Since the USGA is now allowing interchangable shaft systems they are starting to become more common. Doing this will help define which shaft you load better (for energy transfer) and which ones give you the best dynamic ball characteristics (launch angle, spin, etc.) Once you figure this out you can go crazy with options. Without direction and feedback you might not get the best for your swing and with the $$$ these days you want the best for you.
  15. How about that Dominque TWO-handed windmill off of the baseline. I'm sorry to MJ but that was a better dunk than the "all ready been done" freethrow line.
