DawgDaddy 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 see too many of us old coots on here for that number to be accurate. He wasn't even born when a good number of us started playing.

tommc23 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.I never paid any attention to golf until 2015 when my friend got me to play and play using Spalding executives. I can say Tiger had no influence on whether I plaid or not and I'm in the under 30 generation who used to love Tiger. I would have to say that he did influence a few of my friends to pick up the clubs. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all love Golf, I actually love watching Golf, I love watching everyone, and I don't mond that they show Tiger playing golf, but they show almost every shot, then show all the highlights of his round multiple times, when they could be showing the other 70 guys out there. My feeling is show everyone. What happens when DJ, Speith, Rickie, Tiger, JT, and all those boys are playing at the same time. I want to see them all.

silver & black Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm getting a kick out of reading all the "hater" comments from everywhere on the internet...lol. What did you think was going to happen when arguably the greatest player ever came back to compete? Of course he will be the major focus! Hate on haters..... I'm pulling for him to come back and give the whole damn tour a run for their collective money. It will probably take most of the season for him to figure things out, but he's doing a great job right now, even if he is "only" - 4 at Torrey Pines in his first real come back tournament...lol. He's doing better than Phil....no? I get that a lot of people hate the guy. I liken it to my personal feelings about the Patr*ots. I hate them! But I can respect that they are a good team. It seems the haters have forgotten just how good Tiger was.... and that he just might be competitive again. It's entertaining to say the least!

As I said I think it's good for him to get out and compete again. My problem is I don't care for the Media coverage of him and only him. Never have. Never will. That goes for any golf coverage of any one person. I think Golf is a better game to watch when Tiger isn't around. it has been so nice for the last 2.5 years or so that we actually got to watch other golfers. I guess I got spoiled seeing everyone. This coverage is poop. Unfortunately there isn't anything else to watch right now. Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
