On a day when the pins were put in some very difficult places, Tiger seemed to find his old form. Now granted Rory and Luke were not playing but still, Woods was in control all day. I don't think his putting is where it was 3 yrs. ago but his ball striking is as good as it ever was. All the more reason to look forward to a Tradition Like no Other.
believe it or not we watched it.. well Joco did I was babysitting our great nephews 3 and 1 but I did get to see a little of it. impressive. then unforunatly I had to watch CARs for the millionth time. its the 3 yrold favorite pix.
I understand that he brought this all on himself but I for one am glad to see him win again. Judging from the gallery yesterday, I am not alone. I also think that those who piled on excessively through this saga will come out looking pretty bad in retrospect. Of course I would include Steve Williams who came out like a spurned prom queen and now Hank Haney whose tell all book is clearly an attempt to make a quick buck off a couple a sensational observations. To me that is a breach of trust and I think his future prospective students will weigh that before they hire him.
He played well all week. Might be premature to say he's back though. Bay Hill is a course he's won a lot on over the years. But no doubt the tour has missed Tiger.
Oh yeah mark Bay Hill down as one place I really don't want to play....I'd not likely break 125 and would probably plunk a ton of balls in the water.
Here is a golf ethics question for you. What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honor and hit your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball, lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway. Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball. Just before the permitted five minute search period ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match." You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent exclaim from deep in the woods: "I found it!". The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping no more than six inches from the hole. Now here is the ethical dilemma: Do you pull the cheating bastard’s ball out of your pocket and confront him with it or do you keep your mouth shut. = :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Terry, as long as you trade each other's balls back to each other at the end of the match, then I don't think it counts as a foul. Well, assuming each of you scammed the same number from the other, it would come out even to play another hole.
I keep my mouth shut because if he says "I'm not as confrontational as you. I saw you pick up my ball and dropped another where you picked mine up. What was your complaint again?" I'm cooked.
