640 yard par 5 and hitting it over the green in 2??

Tiger and Gales are the only 2 with those shots:D

actually kev no laughs ... but i played today and hit driver 6 iron into a 535 yrd hole - second shot was from the 200 yrd marker to a downhill green

My buddy I played with yesterday ( a college golfer at TN Tech) has that kind of distance. He weighs a buck forty and just rips it with a really short swing.
I was driving it great yesterday, 280-290 and straight and he was blowing it 30-40 yards by me down the sprinkler line.

yup there are kids in college that can bang it 40 yrds by me ....i know i'ts frustrating!

I keep blaming it on my 4 year old Taylormade Burner.
He was hitting the new titleist d2.

I was just bustin your nuts Marty.

FYI: Not sure if I told you, but if you haven't switched to the Srixon Z Star golf ball yet, you are missing out. Best golf ball I have ever hit.

:eek:

I never thought I would be saying that. I was on staff with Titleist for years and have been playing the Pro V since day one, but this Srixon ball is the real deal.

Now if I could just learn to putt with it:wf

You know what to do with those rotton old Pro V's your not playing anymore.....

:D

I had about 4 dozen left. I sold 2 dozen to a friend of mine and just a couple sleeves to Matt. I should have another dozen hanging around I will send you.

i will try them out gpk , you going to root for the eagles now?

Root for the Eagles? No. I do believe he deserves a second chance and I hope he takes advantage of it and turns his life around. We shall see...

tiger should win on the front end this week no?

If he keeps hitting it like he did yesterday, yes. Just about pin high with every approach shot. I love the way he's swinging the club right now.

it's been good all year , save the 1st round at bethpaige and he would be going for major #2

Tiger Slam 2 here we go! WOOOO

Only shot left Tiger has yet to master is to hit his driver well

Jer, Tiger sent me a text last week and wants to know why you won't return his calls. Said he is waiting on those driver lessons you promised him.

Tiger putting like me so far today:wf

Anybody notice there are only three Americans currently in the top 20?

I charge more than Haney:D, but all i was asking for was one night with Elin and I promised him 15 more majors at least. He is still mulling over the offer

Daly withdraws then releases this song

I gotta admit it does not sound that bad, and I rarely listen to country

First time I ever been on twitter, no kidding

I can't believe no one is talking about this Yang absolutely snubbing ole Tiger, ole boy is straight striking the ball right now.....

1/2 brother to Chin Yang

Better half of The Ying Yang Twins.

Congrats to Yang. Nice to see someone look Tiger in the eye and outplay him, in a final round of a major no less. They gotta be dancing in the streets of South Korea this morning.

I can't remember seeing Tiger hit so many double-crosses with his irons than I did in the last 2 days. Kinda sh*tty of him to not at least give a few words to CBS when he was done.

Well he's a bad sport. It also would be nice for him not to say GD all of the time.

He's always classy when he wins or is hitting it well. When he's not, not so much......... He should have putted first and let Yang have the glory since the result was not in doubt. Not very classy.

I am just shocked, Tiger couldnt putt end of story. Only analyst to have him pegged was Brandel Chamblee on the golf channel. Yang showed alot of heart and balls with hes meddle. Especially some of the shots he pulled off were one of the best in the history of major golf given the circumstances. The 2nd shot on 18th with that now famed hybrid club.

You know here is an interesting thought - Some pro athletes loose their "animal instinct" when they become a parent. I wonder if that may be the case with Tiger?

He must have got the closing genes from their Dam, because Chin only knows one way to win and that is from the front.

I don't have a problem with the cursing. He's high profile, so there are cameras and mics on him for just about every shot he hits during the course of a tournament. He's gonna hit bad shots and to expect him to not show anger and emotion is crazy. But at the end of the day it is his responsibility to address the media concerning this loss, especially a loss of this magnitude. Poor decision on his part.

Which media? He had a 20 min conference on Golf Channel after the match?

Let's just hope he doesn't get an RV and park it at the local Hooters.

He snubbed CBS right after the 18th hole

if he snubbed Jim Gray....good on him!

Kind of shitty, but not the end of the world. Post event interviews in golf (as well as most other sports) are pretty lame.

Just read Sean O'Hair went out first, by himself, and finished in 2 hours and 13 minutes. He was told to slow down, as he was catching up to the greens crew.

I played yesterday in a little over 3 hours... would not have taken that long if I hadn't taken so many shots:(

Not the end of the world at all and I'm still a huge fan of tiger, but he still needs to take care of things like that.

I love Tiger but lets face it, hes a very bad loser. When he does talk to the press after a defeat, the onus is always on him, not how well the other guy played. Its always how badly he putted and he didnt have his A game. He said something nice about Padraig's wonderful sand shot from Saturday but it was like he was placating him. When Tiger does compliment his fellow players it doesnt feel genuine.

Because he is so loved by the tour and by the networks, he gets a free pass when it comes to dropping F bombs and throwing clubs. Anyone else would be criticized and possibly suspended. Kind of reminds me of how "certain trainers" get a free pass when it comes to getting hot and winning races in bunches, while the same kinds of streaks by other "less liked trainers" immediately get received as they are cheating. I guess thats the societty we live in. People are judeged according to how they are perceived and liked by the public. Some get to live and play by a different set of rules.

I remember 4-5 years ago Daly went out first on a Sunday in Memphis.
I forgot the other pro he was playing with...but they played in under 2 hours and were fined by the pga tour.
