Tiger is unbelievable

Tiger is pretty good. :)

I'll never forget that shot at the Masters, what was it two years ago now? He chipped onto the green and the ball broke toward the hole and just hung there before it dropped it. Amazing.
 
This is not basketball talk, should be in the other forum. Just saying, since I dont give a **************** about golf.
 
I really have nothing new to say on this thread, but I thought I would post something to put it back at the top to see if I can get another rise out of ol' Fetzy. ;)
 
Wow, looking back at this the filter really stretched that little 4 letter word out, makes it look like I went on some tirade or something.
 
Tiger is a freak of nature. It's no mistake though, he puts in the work to deserve the success.

I'm sure Nike loves the fact that whenever his ball pauses right before it falls into the cup (2006 Masters, 2008 Bay Hill) it is always "Swoosh side up."

Bring on the golf haters...from experience they always seem to be people who have tried the game and aren't very good at it.
 
Has he ever been tested for steroids?
The PGA has no testing protocol whatsoever, after all it is a gentlemans' game and nobody would ever cheat.
 
I think it would only improve his driving distance, and i've see some of my friends drive a ball as far as Tiger has. I don't think steroids are much of an issue in golf.
 
That's exactly what they said about baseball twenty years ago.
And Tiger Woods, although he doesn't rank in the top 10 in driving distance, has notably increased his driving distance by almost 25% over the past decade.
Tiger attributes this to better golf equipment, but at least some of the ladies have bulked up enough to start some talk...

"When Annika Sorenstam bulked up, some whispered "steroids." But when Tiger Woods put on 45 pounds of muscle he was praised for his work ethic in the gym."

Tiger and steroids? No way...

Raw strength does not help as much as one would think in hitting a golf ball a long way. Some of my strongest friends can't hit a ball over 200 yards. It is an insane combo of swing arc, tempo and balance.

Can I hit the ball further than Tiger? Sure can. As a matter of fact, there are exactly 71 players on tour that have driving distance averages greater than Tiger's.

The difference is that he can put a mid/short iron on a dollar bill if you placed it on the green and is almost automatic from inside 15 feet with his putter.

Driving distance in general has increased in the past years because of technology. Take a Titleist ProV1 and a Titleist Professional 100 from the mid/late 90's and hit them with the same club. The ProV1 will go about 10-15 yards further. I've experimented with it first hand on a launch monitor. Technology has made distance much easier to attain and increase.

I am probably wrong, but I remember reading somnewhere that when Tiger won his first Masters, he was among the leaders in driving distance. Now the field has caught and passed him.

There is very little that surprises me in sports at any level any more, but Tiger on steroids would be a complete surprise to me.

Golf :

Drive for show

Putt for $$$$$$$$$$

Tiger is the best putter on tour. His distance is excellent but you can have all the distance you want, if your not accurate or you cant hit a second shot to the green the distance does nothing.

It doesnt hurt to have everyone else simply knowing their not as good and generally satisfied to cash checks. No one on that tour has any stones, other the Tiger.

Heck yea... Once Tiger jumps out to a lead, it is very interesting to see the body language of the other golfers. They know it's over.
