If you think about it, the dude is a lot like Michael Jackson, from the standpoint of always being in the spotlight.

He's probably always had someone giving him advice one way or the other. Maybe he's been searching for another Earl all of these years? I don't know. I just think, for any of us........once you start trying to do something that isn't you, it is very awkward.

Seriously. How hard should it be for a man who spent thousands upon thousands of hours to perfect a skill, to hit a few fairways in a round? A few greens in regulation? He should be doing this shit in his sleep!

Tiger is a fucking mess. YYZ is correct. Just swing the damn club. I still cannot undertsand why anyone would tinker with their swing after the run he had from 1999-2002. It makes no sense. It reminds me of Faldo. Perfectionist. It's not just his driving and irons either. His short game has went way south and he switches putters as often as he did Perkins Pancake waitresses.

The door is closing fast and at this point I don't think he will ever catch Nicklaus. Hell he may never win anything again. There are so many young guns and great golfers out there now it is becoming much harder for anyone to win 1 major, let alone 4 more to tie and 5 to pass Jack.

Watch the caddy/player relationship he now has. It is non existent.

Sponsors are dropping him like flies, he has alienated many of his so-called friends and rumors are swirling that he may be having financial issues. It goes on and on and on. :facepalm:

I hate to say it, but I think his career and everything else may end in a sad way.

And get rid of the stupid beard. It might look good on some people but on Tiger it looks ridiculous!

not sure if you are suggesting suicide - I don't wish that on anyone.

I do hope that Tiger eats a dick and fades away though.

Nope.... I am not suggesting suicide. But when the fortune and fame is gone, some people do strange things. We see it all the time.

Just think if NIKE dropped his ass (which I doubt will ever happen) and his golf game never returns. What will he do for $$$ then. He has a 50 million $$$ mansion to still pay for supposedly. Plus all the support staff that goes with that. I have no idea about his finances, but there are many whispers about it. I am sure his child support is about the size of a few house payments as well.

Tyson for one is a perfect example. Losing a father figure and making some poor decisions in life nearly cost him his life from alchohol and drugs. Once that invincibility is gone, some cannot handle just being normal like 99.9% of us.

Throw in so called friends/family who will bleed you like leeches until you have nothing left as well. Once it's gone they move on and your left to wonder what the hell happened.

I always love the person who says they have 600 friends on myface, spacebook or what ever the hell that stupid shit is. In reality they have maybe 2-3 true friends. You will know who they are when you hit rock bottom. Tiger is far from rock bottom, but it can happen very quickly to some of these athletes and celebrities.

Tiger as a person is probably an egotistical asshole. If you believe what some say. I don't condone what he did to his wife and kids. I am sure if he could take it all back he would. But he cannot and now has that to live with forever. Tiger as a golfer was the greatest I have ever seen. That Tiger is long gone and may never be seen again. Like him or hate him he made some of us watch golf on weekends when we would normally be watching or doing something else.

HELL
Golf is purely a game of mental fortitude and confidence. He has none of that right now, and may never get it back, sure he might for a round or two, but I want to see if or when he has a lead again what the pressure wiil do for a whole tournament. He used to eat pressure alive, almost always prevail, his competitors knew he would win in the end, now nobody fears him and in anything that is half maybe more of the battle.

This in my opinion is very Tyson-esque. Tiger won many tournaments before he even stepped on the course, much like Tyson walking to the ring to face an opponent. Once that is gone, as we seen with Tyson, he is mortal afterall. The mind is a funny thing, and his is gone, almost like he knows he will do something stupid during a given round. He just cant stay clean.

I just never did understand how him or even Phil for that matter cant hit a fairway with the talent they have, pull the driver out and get the F out of the way. These guys can hit any shot anywhere, but to hit a fairway routinely they cant do.

Im starting to wonder whether he will ever win again let alone a major?

I hope the weather holds out for you.

:toast:


I took 1st place Net, which is a little disappointing. I was in "B" flight, and shot 41,41,40. The guy who beat me for the real win, shot one stroke better. (We played in the same group, so it was a fun battle.) He got $500, I took home $300. I won a closest-to-the-pin event on one of the par 3's, and that was worth $30, too.

Didn't rain all day!

Thank you, Sir.


I missed 8 putts from 6 feets in, and had two 3 putts.

I know every guy playing can always find shots he pissed away, but I was hot as hell over those strokes.



I'm signing up for the State Pub-Links Tournament next month. That would be nice to have a good showing in!

The guys life and body are a mess. He has not been healthy and therefore could not practice. He has no idea with this new swing as it's not tested.

Having said all that, he still beat Darren Clarke by 4 and Graeme McDowell by 2. Settle down fellas. If he stays healthy he will be back on top next year. If he plays till age 45 when Nicklaus won his last major that's like 40 more majors. If he wins 1 in 10 he will pass Jack.

You guys need to settle down.
