Yep, thinking much the same. Rory has mad game and should fly up the rankings real fast.
If anyone can give Tiger some competition Camilo can..
All 8 matches should be good ones.
we have 350 golf courses just in Phoenix.....stripped an 83 yesterday at a muni
How goes it matey???
Yeah, Tiger on roids........sure!!!!!
finally all good here........sad Tiger lost but he is still rusty....his chips and puts at times were 6 ft short.....that’s ain’t never been Tiger
I got a free sub for Golf Digest for buying some clubs. I will not be signing up because it is Tiger Digest. The Golf Channel is Tiger Channel. It is sickening and an insult to the rest of golfers on the tour. It is the same cult mania like Tiger’s hero Obama.
Some of the best golf I have ever watched was Padraig at the British Open. I like Tiger but this Messiah status nonsense is a joke. Golf is bigger than Tiger Woods.
Thanks for the tip. I have a 3 year old or so Adams driver and an A2 #4 hybrid - Adams is a great company.
How are the wedges?
:)
Nice round!
They look pretty cool but I don't have any personal feedback to give ya.
Certainly the PW, like the rest of the set, is a thing of beauty to hit.
my humble apologies.....thx for the attaboy on the round...playing w/ the 4some tomorrow for duckets
..my pw is an old Greg Norman great white pw....graphite shaft and oversized winns grip
There’s all kinds of roids and drugs and they mix well with any sport. Lightweight boxers, cyclists, etc. Not everyone winds up looking like Barry Bonds. Roids helped Jason Zuback win long drive competitions and lots of commercial contracts, even with all that mass, he’s quite flexible, no one says a word.
Tiger gained too much mass too fast for my eyes, he essentially changed his frame in a short period, it was more than just “filling out”, his body screamed “user” to me and a lot of other people familiar with performance enhancing drugs. For the record, I’m a scratch golfer. I also accused A-Rod before this scandal.
I know a lot about these drugs and I strongly believed Tiger used/is using.
Tiger Drug Testing Himself
The New York Daily News ran an in-depth piece on the PGA Tour’s decision to randomly drug test its players that gave a revealing look at the Tour’s arrogance and how some in the industry view Tiger Woods’ reaction to the policy with suspicion.
Ty Votaw, the PGA Tour executive vice president, said the Tour decided to go with testing, “to prove we are clean,” while maintaining the attitude that golfers are morally superior to all other athletes.
“We think the culture of our sport is such that if a rule exists, it is adhered to,” he said.
Dr. Charles Yesalis, professor emeritus at Penn State University and a doping expert, mocked what he referred to as the “sanctity of golf” reasoning. “That argument, with five seconds of thought, is childlike,” he said. “With that much money at stake, there are going to be people who cross the line.”
The fact is, golfers would benefit from performance-enhancing drugs. “There are two kinds of drugs that one thinks about,” Dr. Gary Wadler of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said. “One relates to driving the ball. Someone on steroids would hit the ball farther. The other end of the spectrum is putting. Beta blockers, which one could use to minimize hand tremors, might have an enhancement effect.”
Beta blockers are used to treat heart problems and anxiety; PGA Tour Player Craig Parry claimed in 2000 that several tour members won major tournaments in the 1990s while abusing beta blockers.
Tiger Woods is proclaiming his purity saying he tested himself twice in the last six months to make sure the supplements he takes were not contaminated with illegal additives. BALCO founder Victor Conte, which the United States Anti-Doping Agency says developed the banned steroid tetrahydrogestrinone (THG), is skeptical of Woods’ motivation.
“Athletes screening their urine for steroids are more than likely doing so to monitor their use of steroids,” he said.
Yesalis also questions the Woods declaration. “It only proves that the drugs they screened weren’t in his system at the time,” he said. “Did they test for growth hormone? I’ll bet not.”

From this article, the whispers about Tiger have been very loud for years, this isn’t something out of left field.
Tiger for a while had a closely guarded secret workout routine while he was bulking up, he revealed his “secrets” as the cover boy for Men’s fitness in August 07.
He himself claimed to add 30 pound of muscle in 10 years, the big problem with that story was that 20-25 pounds of those muscle were added in about a year. A huge, huge, massive red flag. This was when he was around 30 years old.
Tiger had a lanky frame, I had a much larger frame than him and lifted and ran as much or more than him and never added the kind of mass he did, his body screams “user”.
No flexibility problems on this freak.
I’ve read that Tiger worked out like a maniac for two years and ate of lot of creatine and a very high protein diet. He’s also probably taking some hemoglobin enhancing supplements for his training. I can’t see taking roids and being able to putt on bathtub fast greens or hit an accurate flop shot. Also, how can a guy on roids have such a steady mind tournament after tournament. No way Jose.
