Closed Courses You Formerly Played
flopster replied to bkuehn1952's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
Roddy Ranch, this was heartbreak, Shadow Lakes, another nice course gone Delta View, not a favorite but sad to see an older course gone Bethel Island, a pasture for the most part but ok. -
After watching the ESPN special and getting an even better look at what he went through just shows how impressive his comeback is. It really got me thinking Tigers talent was more than what his body could handle if that makes sense to anyone here. The full swings from incredibly awkward stances ripping through heavy cabbage had to cause wear even he wasn't aware of during the younger days.

Had to take 8 months off in 2017 for work

4 different back surgeries, with todays modern medicine says his prognosis was not good at all. 5 more majors and this will be the comebacks of all, I think he will do it.
-
29 of the worlds best couldn't beat him, fair to say he was winning against a full field also.
-
Tiger has also moved up to #26 GWR I also think there's a 50% chance he retains the #1 ranking again.
-
I say 2-3 wins and 1 major either Augusta or US open.

There is a clear advantage to anchoring, the word "anchoring" says it all, it helps reduce the amount of face twisting at impact and twitching before.
-
Tiger was clearly dissapointed, I think he knows deep inside he is still the best out there he just needs to straighten the driver out some and there it is.I wonder where winds up in GWR after this despite not having 40 events credited.
-
Oh no

Oops

That's a golf shot

Tiger in the zone

YES

Tigers finding his game now

And Driver in the fairway

I do believe Tiger is the GOAT and if he were to become the #1 player again in his 40's I think it would be undeniable to more. Major victories are certainly important and I still think Tiger Woods is capable of still winning more and could tie or break Jacks mark in the coming years as long as his health holds up. As to the game of golf I wonder what sort of impact a Tiger comeback will do for the golf world.

I have responded on this topic before pointing out his responsibility as manager of the Reds and how he abused his authority by his addiction, I think it's worth noting probably what type of a person he probably is by bringing up what he did to Ray Fosse in a meaningless all star game, im completely aware of the fact of it being different era and of course players made quite a bit less but still there's no excuse for doing something like that to a defenselss player.

I think it looked fine for where they are right now. If there was anything borderline, it was he probably could have had it buttoned one more up is all.

isn't it amazing how little is too much to expect from the general public? I have seen attempts from facilities to raise a mild level of awareness of this problem but all it takes is just a small amount of entitled folks who think their money is more valuable than anyone's elses and they can just do as they please regardless of the inconvenience it causes others.

it's only a round of golf, not worth veins bulging around your neck swearing out of control, I'm no holier than the next guy but there are quite a few more things in life to get excited about before a poor shot. My last outburst happened a couple years ago I was really playing well 1 over through 15 then played the next 3 holes 7 over on a tough track 139 slope 73.9 after that day I didn't see the point of it anymore.
-
I just need to start playing again, I had a very busy year of work seriously only 15 days off and having my home course shut down the previous year and the driving range down the street close I just really got depressed about playing much.

The tax is 0.88% increase on an already 12% room tax, it's hard to quantify someone complaining about a less than 1% increase on a hotel room who will probably drop a nice chunk of change in the casino, Oakland is not going to build a stadium it's just not economically feasible while they still owe money on the previous renovation in 1995 somewhere near 100 million. The Raiders are moving, 31 owners approved it and everything is already in place the financing after Adelson left was picked up by BofA , the only part that really remains in question is attendance and in todays NFL it's not as important as it was once believed, ticket prices are going to be much higher in Vegas, Oakland was near the bottom at $71, Chicago near the top at $131 so I'll bet LV tickets will be near the highest which will deter much of the element most connect the Raiders with. I expect the casinos are going to use tickets for weekend getaways and target opposing team markets for the date their local team is in town, I don't think Raider home games in LV will be as much a home field advantage as Oakland was or even as intimidating to other teams fans.

I think this is worth bringing back now that the playoffs are nearing the end of the first round in some contests and others are very much undecided, This time around it looks like Steph and the Warriors are going to have to go through the whole playoffs without coach Kerr, also KD may be finally returning monday, the Cavs got past the Pacers but not without some highly contested games makes me wonder when they probably face a more talented Bucs team in the next round will they be able to lift themselves enough to move on.
