The problem around here is ranges cost 10-12 bucks a bucket, and i can go play a twilight 9 for the same price. Why wouldn't I just play golf for the same price? I'm not going to Q school anytime soon, but my scores are improving.

He is going to have to start winning again. He is still a relatively young competitor and should still be able to play prime golf. He needs to hit 18 majors or more. Problem is he isn't competing against Faldo and Norman anymore. The new jacks are so good these days.

That's pretty much the type of logic people use to elevate Tiger to "GOAT". Field comparisons, scoring averages, etc.... But the fact is he still doesn't hold either the most majors of most pga victories. He is without a doubt one of the greatest of all time, but not THE greatest of all time.

Is it me or does 50% of the Tour Talk forum merely consist of childish bickering about Tiger this or Tiger that. Why doesn't Tiger have his own forum in the clubhouse yet? Admins?

What does the Tiger club think is happening to the strength of the field now? Did it peak during Tiger's reign, and is now going back down, which would facilitate the idea that you now need to win more majors than Tiger or Jack to be the best? Or is the strength of the field still going up, so that one day maybe it'll only take 5-6 majors to be declared the best player of all time? Tiger's reign, for the time being is over, so does that devalue all major winners in today's field?

I broke 90 for the first time and shot an honest 82 with future in-laws. Not sure how I did it, was so nervous about playing well. First time on a new course, it was an easy course, but I kept the ball in play off the tee and shot only 2 over on the front nine, and 8 over on the back. Up and down between the front and back but I managed a great score for myself, now the only problem is I'll expect myself to shoot around that all the time... Highlights include a 70 yard hole out from the rough for eagle on a short par 4, and a 310 yard bomb assisted by downhill and winds, which setup for an AW into the green on a par 5 (hole was zig zag shape so I effectively cut two corners)

We may never see a modern era grand slam, and today more and more amateurs are on top of the leaderboard. An amateur win is much more likely.

It seems to start in October and end the following October. Pretty simple really, and straightforward. 47 tournaments including 4 majors.

Its very well known that a true grand slam is all majors in the same year. Golf, tennis, whatever else. There is a very great reason they coined the phrase "Tiger Slam". If you want to delude yourself into thinking Tiger won a real grand slam in order to put your hero on a pedestal, that's fine, but it doesn't change the definition of a grand slam. This is the only place I've ever seen the case made that Tiger won a real grand slam. People want to talk about "haters" , I can almost guarantee that should Jordan win the Open, before the end of the week we will see posts indicating its a bogus victory because Rory was not in the field. Frankly, I would still bet against Jordan winning the grand slam, but if he did, it will be the one and only grand slam in the modern era.

He has also only been on tour for 3 years, and he is 21 years old. He set a pace which demands attention, that is the discussion. Could he fizzle out? Sure, but he hasn't done so yet.

Clearly the conversation has already begun...?

The girl who got shot is a perfect example of why we need to stop these vermin from coming in. If one of them is a killer, then that's one too many and reason enough to stop the infestation from the south. Go ahead though, use the words "racist" or "bigot" in your response lol.

Illegal immigration is a big problem in this country. Try going to Sweden or Russia and hanging out without any papers and see how long you last. Its not racist to secure the borders.

This, this and only this. Its funny how what you said is so true. If you are for laxer gun laws, you are a nut, if you want to take away all guns, you are a hero. If you want to open the borders and provide everything for the illegals, you are a savior, if you want to secure the borders you are a "racist xenophobe". Its funny how the ONLY defense the left has is "bigot" or "racist".

If that post had been written about Tiger, a ban would absolutely be imposed.

Man you guys are hitting some bombs. I'm the longest average hitter with the guys I play with and a fair average for me is 250-260. I agree with the shorter shaft. I completely arbitrarily shortened an old Burner driver a few years ago and it worked miracles. I bought a brand new Rocketballz later on and struggled all over the place. A couple weeks ago I put the Burner back in the bag, and it was almost as if I could hit the ball as hard as I possibly can and keep it in good play. I can almost fade it or draw it on command, and I'm a bogey golfer.

I know, I know, I'm supposed to hate Bubba on this forum.

When Bubba is playing well, he is playing well. He had a number of 3-5 footers that a man of lesser nerve might have choked on. He stayed strong through to the end, had some bad shots, but managed to avoid catastrophes. He is definitely a strong player on tour, not the best by any means, he has his weaknesses, but a very strong player.

Its Bubba's to lose now I think.

Its probably going to be another awesome Sunday. Harman played so great yesterday to take the lead, now Bubba is fighting back.

There is nothing going on to suggest that golf is on the decline. The $13 per 9 muni is packed Sat and Sun every weekend, but the $60-$100 "nicer" course is also packed. Golf enthusiasts don't play based on who is winning on the PGA tour, they play because its a personal challenge every single time and a opportunity for fellowship with friends and strangers.

Jordan is still brand new to the tour! If he keeps even close to this pace, consistency alone, there is no telling what he could do in the next 15-20 years. He is in the top 10 more than 50% of the time this season.

I just reviewed some footage of the playoff, it didnt look like he had ANY injury going. No distinct limp or anything, no sign of injury.

Do you know Jason? I find it had to imagine you know exactly how he feels without speaking to him directly....

Well this poll was created under the scenario that Day won....lmfao If Day cannot possibly win the poll, then why are you taking pride in the fact that Tiger won the poll....?!?
