Shankster Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Man I tell ya! I was in the MRI waiting room earlier and there was an 80 year old woman in there, talking to her son about how Tiger Woods was playing today... and how she thinks he will win the Masters.

djahubes Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 72 on the longer, more difficult track. Missed a short putt. Should be -1. Hitting great shots. Looks pretty good. Hopefully can get after the North course tomorrow and build some reps. He's not going to win, but the more competitive rounds the better he will get. His driver is turning into a real strength. Hits it just as long as most of the younger guys. If his health holds up he will contend in multiple tournaments this year and maybe Augusta and Carnoustie Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrokerAce Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 He had some great opportunities that slipped away... fought back well; heard on SportsCenter this morning he only made 34 feet of putts -- his 2nd lowest in 474 tournaments! That being said he should be really happy to be even.... Part of me feels like these are all "practice rounds" for Augusta in April.

excourse Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 He may make the cut, but won't threaten the lead in this or any other tournament this year. He's become part of the field and only gets attention because of what he's done in the past.

Shankster Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 🤨 needs work. Even so, he is far better than he was on his last attempt on a comeback. He is close, a few tweaks.

Don't remember the hole but the flop shot to save par was as good as it gets. He's rusty but hitting vintage shots. The more reps the better, super excited for the year.

Sent from my SM-N950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app Okay, it's pretty clear you aren't a Tiger fan.... and that's cool, but..... Yea, he did/has fallen. Now, he's gotten back up and he's fighting his way back.... and doing pretty good at it, so far. No. he probably won't win the tournament. Just finishing and making a respectable showing is pretty damn good at this point...no? I hate the New England Patr*ots.... but I can respect that they are a damn good team. Tiger might not be damn good any more, but he sure was the New England Patr*ots of golf at one time. The Patr*ots are going to fall shortly.... and they will begin the climb back up the hill again. That's what champions do. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I am willing to guess that at least 75% of everyone one here is playing golf because of Tiger.

Even when he is “down†he is still is owed a bit of gratitude, the game of golf would not be the same without him. I doubt 75% of people play because of Tiger. I will say that he brings more people to the game and more will watch but he is not the reason to play. The reason I play is for the good times with friends and I love the competition.

STUDque Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's tough to say whether or not I would've picked up the game without Tiger. I'd guess probably yes because it fills the perfect void left by baseball. I will say this, I 100% started watching golf because of Tiger. Before him, it was the most boring thing in the world. With him, it was pure theater and absolutely riveting. Now that I pulled in, I can go back and watch some of the classic events with context and they've become exciting to me as well.

Shankster Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I personally would have never even looked in golfs direction without Tiger. I had 3-4 posters on my room in 6-10th grade. Definitely thought golf was an old mans boring game before the dude... didn't hurt that we moved to a golf course. But my dad was watching the 97' Masters in an Air Port, the next week we both had clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
