    The Goose fell apart at the end....costing me the W over Gipper.
    :x

    Retief must have been the recipient of a tour official's bad judgement call on a rules interpretation costing him three strokes.....yeah.....that's what happened.... :wink: :lol:

    I owe my thanks to Loopy Jim who was even today after 11 but didn't put it on cruise control. When I saw where he was and the Vijay making a -5 round, I thought I was toast. Thanks Loopy.

    Was watching the Golf Channel wrap up of the day and most of the analysts commented that Tiger made a lot of "stupid" decisions today on the course. I didn't see it as I was at the Rockets/Lakers game. But I was suprised to hear the media criticize his judgement on the course.

    On the second hole, Tiger tried to hook his second shot from a lie that was in pine needles. No hook, in the drink.
    His biggest problem seemed to be his direction with his irons. He was missing way too many greens.
    One interesting comment by Johnny Miller. He doesn't ever remember a pro golfer with biceps as big as Tiger's. Probably spent too much time exercising his arms while his leg was healing.

    Golf Channel "experts" were commenting that Tiger has never been able to really focus on his legs because of his knee problems. But that now the expect to see him work his legs....so expect bulging Quads and Glutes! :)

    The other thing they were talking about is that Tiger has reworked his swing a number of times and that he says that now he wants to have timing be less of an issue. I guess I must have the swing he wants! :)

    Interesting...I get a weekly golf tip on Friday from Golf.Com in an email. The tip always uses a Pro as an example, this week it was Henrik Stenson.
