Good for Lefty...I was watching 'til they quit due to lightning. IIRC, he had just carded 2 straight bogies with average par putt misses...it looked like the wheels were falling off.

One of those by the largest margin of victory ever IIRC? He finished tied for 4th in this one after posting a 5 over in the first round. Hank Aaron didn't hit a HR every time he batted. Nolan Ryan didn't throw a No Hitter every time he pitched heck he didn't even strike out every batter he faced!  BigDozer66 |

Tiger Woods is a true sports hero, on the same level as Michael Jordon.

To all those that say golf isn't a sport:
Go play 72 holes in 4 days in 100*F.....and WALK the course. Report back with your scorecard.

If it doesnt have an offense and a defense, then it isnt a sport to me. Golf is more of a Retarded Game as far as I am concerned. And by Retarded I mean slow and boring. Paint Drying, hair/grass growing slow and boring. |

If you think golf is boring then you've obviously never played a round with me......or loaded 
John Daly has alot better attitude and personality than T-wood.....he would be killin' if he could handle the pressure.

I like the way Daly wears his emotions on his sleeve and he's a fun golfer to watch. But I like Tiger's attitude also, he is completely devoted to the round he's playing...i've never seen anyone in any sport have as much focus when playing that he does. |

Actually you missed that one... is he completely wrong and shows he don’t know anything about golf and maybe sport in general. You can run a offensive or defensive race… just as you can play a offensive or defensive round of golf. In a race be offense by pushing the field or be defensive by laying back. In golf hit long or lay up. There are sides in golf just like most other sports and you can be on offense or defense. |

Golf is easily one of the most difficult sports possible. You are trying to hit a target about 5 inches across with a ball that is about 1.5 inches in diameter, striking it with a club that is 3-4 feet long. Unless the club strikes the ball perfectly square in the center of the center of the face and follows through smoothly and evenly in line with the intended path of the ball, it's going to put a spin on the ball that will cause the ball to veer on its path to one direction or the other. Then there is the wind, which can slow the ball down, speed it up, blow it one direction or the other, etc. When the ball encounters the ground it bounces in one direction or the other depending upon the angle the ball strikes the ground and the angle of the ground at the point of impact as well as its composition. You are fighting physics and geometry all the way. It is infinitely more complex than putting a bullet on a target. |

I wish golf would space out their majors a little better....what do we have, another 8 months until Augusta? If they had a more defined "season" I think they would get a better following.

Bravo, Phil!!
Good for you.
Naa. So what? Which 'sport' has a longer season than golf? Tournaments are played from January till December. Yet another benefit of the game.
So What, Who cares about the 'following'? To the bashers: Try it sometime. Most likely, you criticize it because you suck. FWIW, So do I. However, once during every 2 or 3 rounds I play, I'll have at least one shot that would be worth showing on TV. It's part of the allure. That a hacker like me can get on a course and 'make a play'. (At the professional level: Is'it possible with any other 'sport'? Can you really block that 300lb gorilla charging at you, hoping to snap your neck? In your front yard?  )Out of 90 or so 'shot's' (play's) during a round, we may have 1, 2, or on a great day, maybe even 3 or 4 that are just as good as the pro's could ever hope for. And one more point damnit... What other 'sport' can you compete in from the age of 17 to 70? And earn a million bucks each & every year doing it? hmmm.... Jeez,... Once again, It's a tiny projectile being launched towards a small, distant target. That applies to bullets and <GOLF> balls.

More like he's successful without being humble about it. He's good and he doesn't mind acknowledging the fact. |
