Years ago I was a walking scorer at the Womens US Open. Inside the ropes is restricted to players, caddies, USGA officials, walking scorer, standard bearer, tv people and security. On the back nine I noticed another guy had joined us. I mentioned it to the USGA official who promptly escorted him outside the ropes. Strange thing was after the round was over, I was walking back to the clubhouse and there he was helping Nancy Lopez get her clubs in the car. Strange things can happen.

The man is a professional golfer. If you needed to play a match for your life and you needed a partner, this guy would be on the short list. I like the way he plays and enjoy watching him play especially in the Ryder cup.

I think Tiger has an unimpeachable claim to # 2.

Yeah right BK is acting so mature here.

What would you prefer begetter person?

I agree Jack and Tiger are one and two but I think talent is talent. Hogan would be a big success today with that talent and this equipment just as Tiger would have been then had the birthdates been reversed.

Really? Just what has Texas done that is egregious compared with some of the crap California is pulling?

Very inconsistent with contact obviously causing speed problems. Head is steady, any ideas?

No matter where you rank him, that is a great career.

I daresay that the people trying to cancel him probably makes him more popular. He doesn't have to take a back seat to anybody in the popularity department considering all the things he has done off the golf course.

And Tiger has changed the metric from major wins. Your point appears to be selective. You can add another stat in that Jack wasn't such a personal sleaze which should count for something.

I discarded your opinion on this.

You are getting all bent out of shape over a subjective judgement. Evidence is available for either Jack or Tiger to be #1. You will assign different importance to some over another and I will do likewise. It boils down to the eye test of what the beholder thinks is the important stats. I could even make a case that Arnold is the GOAT when you look at importance to the game of golf. In my opinion, Jack was better. I have had the opportunity to see both play in their prime and in person. As to Phil, yes he is a great player, top 10 all time but for the reasons mentioned above I think others have a better call over #3. I would probably consider Hogan or Hagan here.

Sure: IMHO Phil is not the third best golfer ever and Tiger is not a superior golfer to Jack.

Ah no.

Playing devils advocate, if Kim thought the ball was still moving the would not 14.5 apply? He may have saved himself a stroke by doing exactly what he did.

Ping bag big slot top and bottom with 2 slots in middle. Top woods left 6-8 right 3-5 bottom 9-wedges mallet putter hangs on outside of bag making clubs easier to get out.

Justin Thomas -13

Don't think the AMs are playing this year.

The course I belong to is highly ranked and can usually get us on most places. Cypress is stubborn, you must play with a member. No amount of reciprocal discussion worked where it usually does. So my in did not work.

Planning on going to the Monterrey Peninsula. Cypress is proving to be a problem.

Was rooting for Spieth but until he gets the big two way miss fixed, he isn't closing. Putting was much improved.

Well that certainly would not end well. Who is to say the cheater is here? The playing partner getting beat or the player? I could see the USGA solving a problem that really doesn't exist by creating a bigger problem. Right up their alley.
