    Stranger things have happened. I'm just judging by the photos and it looks pretty darn close.

    just sayin'
    Would like to see where you got this info.
    Just askin'
    He's from an era where men of power could drink and whore themselves to an early grave and the media would never even think of reporting about it.

    Now TMZ is a leading news source.

    Well I guess that's settled then. :roll:

    tigger was shown these photos.he said that he dropped further back.
    I think he was just grateful not to be dq'd.Thanks to some obscure new rule.

    Four straight majors

    Best winning % ever

    Just to name a few.

    most of that stuff is from a looong time ago ... but it's not like he dominated the statistical categories ...

    either way - the guy's a great golfer no doubt ... but i actually like cheering for guys that aren't pricks - that's all ... but i'm a socialist tree hugger who believes that class is more important than winning ... :lol:

    edit: and the point about tiger doing things others can't do is kinda false ... it's really his overall game that has allowed him to regain #1 ... it's not like he can draw or cut it like bubba or have the short game of phil ...

    Those guys can't touch what he's done. Golf is all about overall game. Phil is wild off the tee when it counts and bubba can't putt.

    I said he has the ability to do things they can't. I didn't say he was right now. He's the best player in the world so far this season. It's not like he was flubbing around all week.

    but that implies he is hitting shots other golfers can't hit ... which was never the case ...

    either way - you're right in that he is playing amazing now ... no knock against his game ... but you're never gonna hear "couldn't happen to a nicer person" or "he's a great person" after any of tiger's wins ... :lol:

    I didn't really mean specific shots. I meant that his game, focus, determination is well beyond the rest of the field. At least looking at his career as a whole and what I believe he's still capable of.

    I agree with your second point. No doubt about it.

    I've seen tiger pull off shots no one else is capable of to that standard. No question

    You recall the shot around the tree? That was ridiculous and in his golden years his putting was incredible

    OK....I'm back working at the golf course. I have a pension, so I'm not too pissed about the $7/hr wage :lol: . I also get free, unlimited golf at any county course. Here's "my" course. click on any hole for the aerial....

    my new job is using a contraption I've never seen. I'm getting a strong right leg (stomp, stomp) and a nice farmer's tan :lol:

    first, you "harvest" plugs from the "nursery " green....

    then, you pull up the fungus infested grass (that's a good plug in the picture)...

    Photo0419_zpsebf78f69.jpg

    then, you lovingly replace the bad with the good...

    Photo0420_zpsc5189473.jpg

    I knock out about 7 per hour ($1 per pug :lol: ). my boss thinks this will cure the problem....who knows? I'm not paid to think. both holes with the worst problems are right on a pond :?

    Ha, similar round here. Started out 7, 7 and ended up with one of the better rounds I have shot. My driver is a mess. Everything else is better than it has ever been.
