You mean the guys with bad course management? You're trying to justify a stupid decision. When you are sitting on the cut line and you need two pars to make the cut, you don't take major risks. That's called BAD course management. BAD. What he did was STUPID. Plain and simple.
Woods was a victim of what is known as "That's Golf".
Close. Actually a victim of bad course management. Knowing when to take risks is a part of golf. Knowing when to play it safe is also a part of golf. A lesson that you, and Tiger, have not learned.
So, when Jean Van De Velde pulls out driver on the 72nd hole of the Open Championship, I imagine that Caddy Evad would have said, "Grip it and rip it, Jean; a three would look GREAT on the scorecard."
Heh..caddy evad wouldn't say that. As a matter of fact, if he had to he'd break every club in the bag except the 5 iron, wedge and putter.
Your colorful analogy is the classic example of apples and oranges...but I'm willing to bet you can't you see that?
I'm also willing to bet there's nothing based on logic or reasoning that I can add to this subject for you so I bid you ado.
