Tiger, Balls of steel, 13th major

Well that doesnt sound very nice of him but why dont you want to get into specifics? Seems only fair if you're going to call him out this way to be quite specific

You obviously don't know anything about golf or what makes a good golfer.

First of all, perspective. There have been four majors this year and Tiger has won one. Bekele would win 3 or 4 'majors' he would be in like world champs or olympics.

tiger is the best golfer by far, but even he can get beat on a given day. A semi-pudgy 43 year old guy almost caught him yesterday at one point. THe winner of the Masters this year was a pudgy Argentinian. Golf is about hand eye coordination, weight transfer, rythem and timing. Being juiced would likely through them off if anything.

Tiger was the first one on the course early last monday. He trains and prepares as well as anybody.

Tiger was 155 lbs when he turned pro and has done weights and is now 175 to 180. YOu only have to look at the skinny guys like Jesper Parnivik and CHarles Howell to know that being skinny is no problem to playing good golf either. THe point is there are good golfers who are fat, skinny and muscular because the key success factors are the ones mentioned previously.

No. We do know for sure you are a clueless dumbass.

NO SPORT REQUIRES AS MUCH CONCENTRATION as GOLF and Tiger continues to be unbeatable when he gets the lead regardless of the course or his opponents.

This is very true about concentration. I once went to a clinic where a HS coach whose teams won several state championships spoke and said that he encouraged his runners who had an interest in golf to play during the summer to improve the ability to concentrate. After they did their running for the day, of course!

Who's got to be more fit Caddy or Golfer?

This reminds me of the scene in Kingpin where the guy gets to the big bowling tournament and says "It's such an honor to be in the presence of these great athletes" and they cut over to a shot of a bunch of fat slobs spilling food all over themselves. At least golfers have to walk four or five miles a day.

I totally agree with Mandingo.

Furthermore, as a hack golfer myself, it isn't just about how far you hit the ball. Heck, there are a good number of guys who could outdrive Tiger. The difference is precision- Tiger can, on a good day, put a golf ball pretty damn close to any spot he picks out on the hole. You can't just wail it and see where it goes, there is a technique to it. Golf is a skill, not a sport. And you can't dope skill.

175 to 180? Try 190-200.

Yeah...he didn't sign that one flag, so he's an ass. All the other crap he did for other people that you don't even know about, his foundation, the free tournies for families of servicemen, that doesn't count for anything. Good logic.

He was only pro at the entire event that refused to sign a flag that was being auctioned for charity

Wow, for all he does for charities, I wonder if there is a little more to this story than you are telling us?

in his press conference after winning PGA , WOODSY was asked how he handled the heat. He said RUNS a lot in Fla. humidity and therefore was still fresh while others were beat.
