The Senator Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I couldn’t be happier for Tiger Woods, and the game of golf. The fact that his mom and his kids were there to see it made it even more extra special than it already is. . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 What a fantastic last round......there were what, 5 tied and 8 within a stroke at one point? And then to watch them fall apart under the pressure one by one, all except Tiger. Congrats to him, great moment in golf history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly was a time not that long ago, anyway. I remember his last major win at the US open, the talk radio opinion ( and my own ) was simply when and by how many would he overtake Jack. It seemed inevitable at the time , then disaster struck. As time went on the forgone conclusion flipped the wrong way. Last tour season brought the possibility back. Amazing story of redemption and a return to the winners circle that the golf world was hoping for ! While Nicklaus’s record is still off in the distance, it’s no longer unattainable. I hope we can see it happen, as we surely won’t see anyone come close again in our lifetime. Bravo, Tiger !

The guys playing with him buckled under the pressure. Their scores weren’t horrible, but they’re the only two guys in the top 10 who didn’t break par.

Bravo, Tiger ! 2013 was a good year for him...the whole marriage thing was bad, but the injuries from 2014-2017 would have been the real death blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was scuttled? I could not find it either.... I can’t imagine why it would have been scuttled. I don’t recall it being a controversial thread.

Augie Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 19-0, baby! Oh....sorry, I got lost...... That was indeed a part of golf history, like when Nicklaus (you remember him, Nick O’Leary’s grandad?) won his last Masters at what, 46? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, not for nothing, but if you dropped out of Stanford at the age of 21, to play golf for a living, and became a multi-millionaire by the age of 25, you wouldn’t occasionally dip your pen in the inkwell? I bet Lindsay Vaughn is kicking herself tonight. . Edited April 14, 2019 by The Senator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be consistent with your judgement of others, you should throw away your television.

Augie Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 He messed up. He did it on a MUCH bigger stage than most of us do, but we all mess up in varying degrees. I won’t judge him for it, and I’m glad he made it back to the top. It’s good for him, it’s good for many fans, and it’s good for every single player on the PGA tour. He drives ratings, they make money. Period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time round I ran an office pool for the US Majors and it was just pick ten golfers and the best four, making the cut, win the $ firm partners mostly refused to pick Woods, even after 6 majors, just a bunch of surly racist jackasses Thanks for your $50 and refusing to pick Tiger...
