This is just silly: If we must revisit just to get you to admit you are wrong, ok. I think it's it'll do you some good. A brief history. I good-naturedly pointed out that Tiger triple-bogeyed the first hole. This was your response:

"This is not his year. IMHO once he makes enough for next year's card he should take the rest of the year off. Needs to get his head back on straight, he's not in the game."

I responded that he's won four tournaments this year. This means (a) his place on the money list is secure, and (b) he's not playing nearly as badly as the perception you are gleaning from the media. Many of those who cover golf know even less about the game than you do. Like you, they are just repeating what they heard. But there's a problem: Players whose "games are off" or who need to get their "head on straight" do not beat fields by five strokes. As always, this is not an indication of malice and insincerity on your part, just ignorance. Too bad you never let that stop you.

So does Tiger Follow your advice? Nope. He goes out and shoots under par the rest of the way. He has a very realiztic chance of winning the whole thing. You don't get out of a slump by sitting on the bench after all.

That's right. Notice right off the bat the statement "this is not his year" doesn't lay any blame, could be a bad luck streak could be gone to crap could even be that the competition has caught up. Of course since Tiger himself has commented that he's not satisfied with his driving this season. As for taking the rest of the year off, is there something wrong with that? It's not like the guy needs the money, what's wrong with taking his super hat girlfriend to Hawaii for August and spend the month on the beach pounding Mai Tais and getting BJs?

He's won 4 tournaments all minor, has been over par twice this year something that hasn't happened since '99, hasn't even been in the running for a major since his 3rd round 81 at the British last year, and is simply not playing like Tiger.

As always your argument IS an indication of both malice and ignorance on your part. You're just picking fights because that's who you are. Once again you are going in complete ignorance of the plain and simple facts, denying your nose inspite of your glasses. your arguement cannot succeed because you are wrong, but you will not stop because you're your fragile and completely unsupported ego will not allow it.
