This one is in beta, but is getting good reviews. I'm still a hack. World Golf Tour |

Ok, Tiger won another major. I am a fan, but got a bit tired of watching Tiger just beat up on every course he tackled. Glad I watched this one though. Rocco made me feel like us old guys can hold our own, and Tiger indeed showed why he is the real deal like never before. Good show.

Replying to: mattandi (Jun 16, 2008 2:33 pm) Tiger hits into a sand trap, lays up in the rough, then hits 15 feet from the pin to make birdie and force the playoff. The guy is good... but come on. I smell some sort of conspiracy, alien intervention... or a deal with the devil. Whenever the guy has needed a big shot, he gets it. Whenever he has needed an opponent to miss... he has gotten it. No humanoid is that good.  If any of of you PGA weinnies are reading this, will one of you step up and make golf interesting again? Stop choking and playing like a bunch of sissy la moo moos. Once I get over this bad case of toe fungus, I'll be able to practice golf like I want. Pencil the Jipster in as next years Masters champ!! |

Now that Woods is done for the year (can you imagine playing 91 holes with a torn ACL and 2 stress fractures of the tibia?), the rest of the tour had better step up. This should make the last two majors, the FedEx Cup and, most importantly, the Ryder Cup much more interesting. However, you gotta believe that every network that carries golf is crying in their beer about now ....

Replying to: michaell (Jun 19, 2008 8:42 am) She thinks Tiger screwed up by not having the ACL and meniscus done then - she's about recovered and has just been given the ok to do anything (albeit with a brace for hiking or skiing, etc.). Tiger could have won his six last season, skipped the Open this year, had the ACL surgery instead of just cleaning out the cartilage, and then been good to go after a couple of months of rehab. If his surgery is complicated now by skipping the ACL when they did the April surgery -- well, makes you wonder what if, if his repair is one of the 10% that don't turn out well. Funny how men ignore medical advice. Maybe there's contractual money issues involved.

This is not the first suspect decision Tiger has made in a major. I recall a shot where his ball was against a partially buried rock and he hit it anyway, risking serious injury. And another time where he hit a shot that the follow through was going to immediately hit a tree. Another instance where ANYTHING could have happened. There are instances or golfers breaking clubs during swings and having been seriously injured by the flying shaft fragments. I've thought all along that his body would eventually force a swing change becuase he just wouldn't be able to swing that hard forever. I really thought it would be his back, but your knees are another weak spot.
