    not sure why williams would be griping ... it's like being a 4th line winger on a stanley cup team ... not to diminish his part in woods' success but let's be honest here ... tiger would have likely had that success with a bunch of other caddies ...

    he's now caught on with adam scott ... he's gonna do alright ... he just sounds really bitter ...

    Ever golf with a caddie who knows his shit and the course your playing on? It'll take at least 8 to 10 strokes off your game the first round you play with them.

    SportsNation question of the day: Who wins more tournaments the rest of their career? Stevie on the bag for another tour player or Tiger with another caddy? It's close right now. The way its going now, Id say Stevie. Who knows if Tiger wins another tournament ever again.

    as for stevie...don't think he's biter but kinda hurt? i mean he stuck with tiger through the shit and now he decides to drop him? if that were me i'd be pissed...and judging from stevie's comments it sounds like tiger really didn't give him any reasons...whole thing seems odd to me

    sure ... i can see that ... it's just that he's on the bag of adam scott now and he's made a ridiculous fortune off tiger ... i wouldn't be surprised if he makes more off of scott than tiger from here on out ... now, i'm not counting tiger out ... it's just scott isn't some stiff that's gonna be playing for his card next year ... the guy is like top 20 in the world ...

    well steve has been a top caddy long before he hooked up with tiger and with his experience with tiger he pretty much had the pick of any of the young kids...i think scott is a great pick...i see a major or two in the next couple years with this pairing

    My point is that you stated Tiger would have had success with or without with him, Williams knows his shit and helped Tiger win ALOT, hows Tiger doin with his new Swing Coach? Think he misses his old one much? We'll see how he does with " a bunch of other caddies" as you say above soon enough. :lol:

    I know a lot of courses have GPS in their carts. If they don't and you have a Android phone, you should check out SkyDroid. Awesome golf GPS app! It costs a couple of bucks, but it's super accurate, and it has pretty much every course in the country!

    If you haven't download the paul azinger golfplan app you should definitely give it a try now thats its free. This is easily my favorite app, I've been using the golfshot scoring app that came with it for a few months now and its really helped my game by tracking all my stats. I love the fact that you can also go online to view past rounds and stats.
