Scuds, it's not because he has the talent to do crazy stuff, it's because he has the stupidity (and guts) to try the crazy shots and that is why the average golfer likes him, because they like to try crazy stuff too. There are tons of guys on tour that can hit the same kind of crazy shots that Phil can, they just choose not to and play more conservatively.

How many of Phils peers on tour marvel at the way he hits the ball? I have never heard any of them say anything. How many times to you hear those same guys marvel at the way Tiger hits the ball? Quite a bit...

that is true he biased

my guess is if golf digest asked all the tour caddies or other players to vote just on talent it would come out

tiger 50%
phil - 45%
other 5%

I would guess 100% of the tour caddies would agree that you and Scuds are INSANE.

here is a chance for anti-trust and bigs to vote on a talent/better situation

we all know who the better player is between myself and gpk - that one does not even have to go to a vote , i will never play in tournaments that he has already won and forgotten about but as far as hitting the from tee to green (not getting the ball into the hole) who do you think can hit more shots can play more shots - high hooks , low fades , driver over the corner of a dogleg to cut a fairway in half , punch wedges , buried sand shots , flop shots - now isn't the decision a littler harder after you saw us both play?

Kev hadnt played in a long while. it was like 6 in the morning and we were all hungover... & starting to drink again.

I can safely say three things:

You hit it longer than Kevin

Kevin is more talented

We all had a blast and should do it again.

my point in relation to phil and tiger is, you didn't have to think about the better part between me and kev , but the talent part you had to think about it evaluate it, it wasn't an automatic decison

The scenario you are referring to is impossible to judge either of us from.

This was what you said.

If you seriously think that you can hit more shots or play more shots than me....well, I don't know what to say.

If u don't think I can hit high hooks, low fades, punch wedges, buried sand shots or flop shots....well again, I don't know what to say.

You do realize that the one round we played together, I was less than 1 year removed from back surgery that had me layed up for 2 months? I was maybe playing my 4th or 5th round of golf in a 16 month span??

again i never said better , but if you took 100 people and asked them to vote , some of them may not know a thing about golf at all , i might get a few votes just based on distance and distance alone

i am admitting i need 6 shots , and , i am willing to play you with 6 shots whenever you would like. i myself an stuck behind a computer 10 hrs a day at work and play 1x a week so i won't have my "A" game either

So what you are saying is that Phil is more talented on the reasoning that a bunch of people who know nothing about golf might think he was based on a few shots?

Im not saying you ever said better. You just talked about being able to hit more shots and play more shots.

you think you can hit more and play more shots than me?

Actually, no I don't. I have had a 180 degree turn around in my opinion of him. Life has a funny way of doing that sometimes.

I think it would have been fantastic if he had won. Don't get me wrong Scuds, I think Phil is immensley talented. I have had the fortune of seeing them both play and practice in person...and in my opinion, Phil is not the most talented.
