JBones 1,235 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 He was already hurting, then played a great shot from a nasty lie and I figured he would be done after that, but he ended up making it a couple more holes. Quote Follow @GolfspyBones Link to post Share on other sites

silver & black 5,635 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I know it's cool to make fun and throw barbs... especially if you don't like him, but I know first hand how much a bad back hinders EVERYTHING you try to do. Just sayin'. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

revkev 22,584 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Sorry Zeasy I don't see this guy as a quiter. I think the opposite is at work, he's doing everything he can to play and get it back but for him the way is closed at this time and maybe forever. It's getting harder and harder to watch.

TIBA_Putt - Kyle 139 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Maybe he's playing bad because he's swinging poorly which exacerbates an injury. When he swings well, he plays well and doesn't reinjure the low back. I'm all for him coming back and getting back to form and playing good golf. Golf needs him still. He's good for the game. More people pay attention when he plays. It is getting hard to watch him come out each time and struggle. Quote TIBA Putt - Discover your best stroke. Link to post Share on other sites

Kor.A.Door 5,839 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 He needs to talk to freddie, since he went through back struggles not to long ago. I'm afraid that Tiger needs to change the way he swings, and find a way that doesn't put so much torque on the.lower back, he can't continue to swing all out with that much torque, his body can't take it, Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
fozcycle 11,894 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I guess these pros might be working out in the gym too much........anytime there is a slight change in weather conditions, their muscles seize up.......back in the day, the golfers were a lot looser so there was room to move.

revkev 22,584 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Me too Zeasy All good things must come to an end I'm afraid. Some it's injury, some it's age, some it's a lack of interest, some just fade off into the sunset. With Tiger I think it's the age/ injury combo. Long live Rory!
