the only thing tiger got back is moral sex, everything else is lost in the past.

Tiger is the straw that stirs the drink. For him or against him, golf is so much more interesting with him in the mix. As for the Chevron, yeah, it's not a full field event, but the small field was all ballers.
Anyone see the end of the Farmers? WTF?!?!

I think Tiger is finely healthy and in a good place to win again. Look out Augusta.

A. You have no concept of the game of golf by this statement, "and (Tiger) hasn't been for HOW long now?". TIME MEANS NOTHING in golf, it is not NFL. How many different winners of majors have there been in the past 10-12 years? How many majors does Tiger have? If you cannot comprehend that, then there is no use trying to attempt a halfway decent conversation about the game of golf, a game unlike any sport you follow. A few years does not matter.
B. A mans faults are not what defines him. It is the sum of both the success and the faults, like a carbon offset. You cannot dismiss people so easily. You start sounding like Rwandan death squads, no mercy, no respect for the human. Redemption is a strong force and maybe the world can learn more forgiveness for "stars".
If you noticed my first post was saying that you are LIKE the people who hate. The concept that somehow the past is not possible to overcome for him is ludicrous. The haters have been proven wrong. He has won. He has a top 5 finish...already. He has not even played anything in Florida yet and he is on.
You said "ever" =, forever is a long time.
Are you 16-19 years old? You sure act like it. Get a grip man, and quit letting your emotion cloud any intellect you might have with petty insults. My golf season, yeah, it is going pretty well, last year was the best in 4 years as being a Dad comes first, and the 1 hole you watched on Youtube ( Ballyneal is a golf course unlike no other) was massively uphill, I out drove everyone in my group ( a few hacks, haha), with the ball in the center cut of the fairway, a sidehill and uphill lie, then I took, not my best swing of the 77 that day (7,000 plus yards), I splayed sand wedge into one of 100s greenside bunkers of doom. Blasted out, made bogey. Had an amazing round though, at a course more difficult than most. Yeah, that is a claim.Terje was right.

Most of my vids on the golf course seem to pertain to drag-racing golf carts on the fairway and getting a golf cart a little submerged in a water obstacle. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, there was no Go-pro at hand. The police were pretty lenient, though.

EDIT: I should say, however, that Das Blunt's response to my admiitedly juvenile and perhaps beer-generated post was given with a good degree of candor on his part. Accolades to him for that, indeed!!
I went back in a more sober state to try and excise that part of my post, but it had already been quoted. Oh well.
I can only say that I am glad there are no vids of me hacking on the course...or some of my whiffs at tee where I actually spin right around like a cartoon character. When I DO connect, i CONNECT, but that is usually is one hell of a surprise to me....and rare.Last edited by Alaskan Rover; 01-30-2012 at 08:39 AM.

Tiger was guaranteed a $1.5 million dollar appearance fee just for showing up in Abu Dhbai.
Even when the guy loses he still wins.

I skipped most of the back and forth between DasBlunt and AKRover but not before I saw this gem. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the awesomness.
I loved Rory's coach's comments in this month's Golf Digest re: Tiger. He wondered why a guy like him would constantly seem to be trying to change his swing instead of trying to make a great swing as good as it can possibly be - sticking to what works.
Yeah, I know, the knee. Save it, that was like 4 swing changes ago.I still call it The Jake.

Rory and his entourage are attention whores. Rory will be done in 5-7 years, mark my words. England always is talking shit about Tiger.
You know fuckall about Tiger's knee, you save it, he is still fighting time...still winning obviously.
Everyone who plays lots of golf thinks they know it all. Only the pros, and anyone scratch and better REALLY know what is going on in the top 100 world ranking golfers. Tiger is in his own league.....and they all know it. They market themselves as equal...they have to, ego rules when games end and sport begins.Terje was right.

blunt, tiger is not in his own league anymore, just winning his own tourny does not constitute a return to his prior form.
none of the younger than 25 yr. olds are intimidated by his scowl or offputting demeanor, especially the blonds.

if tiger starts winning again, after coming back from the edge of the abyss, those young kids who haven't done shit except get famous and make a ton of money will get intimidated again. they know in their hearts they'd never come all the way back from what tiger has and they can't do what he's already done. if he stays healthy, i won't bet against him.
