Frantzie, I have to say that Wilt Bonds driving numbers are down because he had to hit more hybrid/fairway woods off the tee this week. He had to this week as Firestone demands accuracy off the tee. Even with the reduced clubs, TiHgHger was not finding the fairway. He is only slightly shorter than his career big numbers when he breaks out the big stick. He can still boom it.

The PGA created these long, tight courses with thick rough for Cheetah, but what it did was create a crop of young guys who could challenge and beat him in length and accuracy. Plus, they probably sleep more hours during the night.

Golf is one of the few sports I enjoy watching as it is an individual challenge. As boring as it is to some, I enjoy watching the back nine on any given Sunday; who will choke, who will hit the big shot, and who will just be the victim of bad luck. The PGA ruined that for me with cramming TiHgHer down our throats using questionable means. The trust factor is just not there and I would not be surprised if Woods re-emerges when they decide the time is right.

I think you are right. So he was hitting hybrids and 5 woods off the tee? He is still spraying his shots everywhere. Almost impossible for any player on teh tour.

I think the juice gave him massive forearms. Without the arms (being off the juice) - he cannot control his shots.

The specs said Cheetah driving accuarcy for the 4 days was 39.3%. Day one and two averaged 28.5% which is abysmal.

Believe me - the PGA and Tim Finchem will do anything to put humpty dumpty back on the wall.

I was looking at the PGA specs and it said Mahan’s Sunday drives were averaging 343 yards? His average for the 4 rounds was 307 yards.

One of the guys on GolfWrx said he worked at a tourney and said the distances, especially Phil is huge. He said he saw Phil him a 3 iron 275 yards, Dustin Johnson a 5 wood 300 yards and Adam Scott a 3 wood 300 yards.
