Today....I learned to putt.
And ya know what I've been doing wrong all these years? TAKING MY EYE OF THE BALL. Sounds so obvious right? Of course I would never do this while swinging a regular club. But my father noticed that I might be watching the PUTTER on the backstroke and not the BALL on putts. And sure enough, he was right! This revelation will shave at least 6 strokes off my game per round. At least..2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

This could very much be true. But I'm no Jack Nicklaus and watching the putter has caused me to pull/push putts for way too long.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

kinda funny...when tiger finished his round, it looked like he would miss the cut...well, the guys that are still finishing their rounds are folding like cheap paper bags and there is now a chance he could make the cut...good thing the private jet is always available0
-
so, can anyone tell me why golf inducts people into the hall of fame prior to their retirement? phil isnt retired is he?
secondly, i dont think tiger will ever win a major again, and his regular tour wins will be sporadic. Clearly, the idea that he was "back" after that win a few months ago, was of course fantasy. Clearly winning a non major event wasnt the same as winning a major, and it certainly didnt help him play well at the masters. Clearly, something has changed. Whether its age, or his swing, or his mental and emotional state, or just better players coming in and no one really being afraid of him like they were in 2000. Maybe its all those things. Ive said it before, but what i admire about folks like Jordan and Kobe, and Tiger pre 2009, is this almost maniacal drive these guys have or had. that every time someone says "you cant do that" they make it their mission to prove that person wrong. I view that as an important trait to have. i like to think i have that as well, and will try and do the same throughout my life in whatever field or career i choose.
However, tiger post scandal, seems unable to push through that, This drive that consumed him, when everyone said "a biracial kid cant play golf", or "golf is for rich white men", or "your just an amateur you wont win a major", or "you wont win the masters". Or you wont win more than one major. Tiger pre 2009 seemed to take all those statements and just let them fuel his fire. I admire that more than I can express. But in 2012, he seems unwilling or unable to get back to how dominant he was in 2012. At this point he cant even win a major, and seems unable to win anything, major or not. 1 win in 2 plus years? thats hardly a good record, let alone the fact its not even a major.0 -

Finally hitting the links this week (a few times, hopefully)
Also, nice win by Bieber today over Rory and D.A. Kid has a bright future ahead of him and I think it showed a lot that it was Rory he beat in the playoff. 10-15 years from now these two might be going head to head at majors."FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls.
