  1. Never been to an event before but am going to the Open at Bethpage this year.
  2. hockey. I doubt Tiger skates very much.
  3. 19, 22, and 24 degree hybrids. They'll forgive bad swings way better than long irons.
  4. don't really remember when I first broke 100, but the 3rd or 4th time I ever played golf on a regulation 9-hole course i shot 48 (i think i played from the red tees, not exactly sure as it was 5 years ago) , but that was after I'd played on a par 3 course a bunch.
  5. The majority of people who have voted on this have either only lived through Tiger's era, or, because they have been immersed in everything Tiger for the last 10+ years, their view of what jack did is diminished, so most people lean toward Tiger whether they mean to or not.
  6. About 285-295, but I do live a mile above sea level.
  7. The NV will give you a low flight, had it on my old driver, too low for me though ( and too stiff, stiff flex plays more like a xflex, so good choice on getting the regular, it'll probably play closer to a stiff than most reg. flex shafts)
  8. It could be your clubs. If your 5-wood shaft has (a lot) more torque than your driver shaft, that would cause it to twist and close your 5-wood clubface where the shaft on your driver wouldn't twist as much and leave the face open. I don't know very much about shaft physics, so I'm not really sure on this.
  9. If someone can win a major, a couple of regular tour events, and finish high in the FedEx Cup, maybe. Or if someone wins the last 2 majors. It'll be tough to top Tigers's half-year though.
  10. I give Tiger all the credit in the world ( he is the best) but you have to wonder if Tiger was playing against the guys Jack did, guys like Trevino, Palmer, Player, Watson, if they would give him (Tiger) all the second chances his challengers today do ( for ex., I wonder if those players from Jack's era would've missed that little putt on 13 on Sunday that Rocco missed. Sometimes, and this doesn't happen often, it seems that Tiger is able to win because of all the second chances he gets, how his challengers don't seem to seal the deal very often. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this win (or any major victory) for Tiger was easy or lucky (seriously, that would just be stupid), but when you give Tiger an second chances, he will take advantage of them almost 100% of the time, especially in majors.
  11. as of right now, Jack's better, just because he has more tournament wins and majors. In the long run, though, I have no doubt Tiger will become the best (barring injury) , but until he has the wins, Jack gets the nod.
  12. players irons
  13. Snedeker did something like this at the Masters, chipped on the green because there was rough between his ball and the hole; however, he was trying to win a major. In this case, the golfer wasn't breaking the rules exactly, but since it was a private club that can kick people off just because they feel like it, the ranger had the right to do what he did, so really, neither side is right and neither is wrong.
  14. In a golf digest interview Sean Fister said he drove a downwind 512 par 5 once and had a 12 foot putt, but he's a world long drive champion so I can't really see it from anyone exept if it were a big dogleg hole. Unless they hit the cartpath and bounce it allll the way there.
  15. The best thing you could do is go get a lesson from your local pro, then, if the way they teach you works for you, stick to that system and use it for every bunker shot. A huge part of good sand play is confidence. If you approach every bunker shot thinking you'll get your ball out and on the green ( and you have a decent sand swing) then chances are good you will get it on the green. On the other hand, if you have negative thoughts in your head, you have almost no chance of hitting it well.
