so i'm 2 lessons in and a million times better than 2 weeks ago (still bad but a couple weeks ago I could barely hit the fucking ball remotely correctly). feels good. haven't worked on hitting off tee yet so I still struggle with that. but I got a good feel for all my irons. this week we'll work on my 3 wood plus short game.

I've wanted to enjoy playing golf for about 20 years and I finally have the bug. can't wait to go out on a course soon. been to the range pretty much every day for last couple weeks. almost there.

That's great stuff. One thing my uncle always said about getting off the tee - "fuck a driver, my 3 wood is always right down the middle, your driver is right where I'm at a fairway over"

Your 3w can be your friend

Dude is on site and playing a practice round. I really don't get it.

My dad's conspiracy theory is that he faked the injury once he started hitting too many bad shots and just wanted to quit.. I disagree with that but it's kinda what it looks like with the quick turn around and being able to play.

I don't buy it, but of course people say that about him. If he had any illusions of playing int he Ryder Cup, he needed a good finish last week.

Any question who still rules the sport? A major championship starts in like 18 hours and the entire golf world is freaking out because a guy who is not going to win the tournament has landed in Louisville.

I will go bold and say he makes the cut and finishes the tournament. Optimism.

I just saw on golf channel he just played number 1 and the gallery was Sunday Major up the fairway.

I really can't see him making the cut. I'll take the over, but 36 holes max

He hasn't been playing THAT poorly. Just inconsistent and can't hit the driver.

And yeah, saw a picture of the first hole. Wild. Also read he hit a great drive. Save that for tomorrow.

Tiger is pain free (for now), says his back spasms were unrelated to the surgery (yeah, right) and that he expects to win this week (yeah, right)

It does. He apparently played pretty well today though

You keep making the Lindsey comment. She blew out a knee. That is like a headache to Tiger. Been there, done that. He is on to back surgery

I'll never understand the lack of TV coverage with some of these major tournaments. None of Tiger's round will be on TV today. They have an app you can watch it through, but it's not the same....just put it on TV!
