gmac17 Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 So tiger wins in a playoff, and it turns out it is largely because he got a huge break with his ball over the clubhouse that wasn't OB. Do you think they would have stopped play for 45 minutes if KJ Choi lost his ball over the clubhouse? And if tiger was in the group behind KJ in that situation, I bet he throws a fit. Basically i think if any other player in the field hit the same exact shots as tiger this week they wouldn't have won.
VABills Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 And you would be wrong. But go ahead and continue your hate for the best player in the game by far. Also, it was 20 minutes, and that was because they knew where the ball was. Part was trying to get a rules interpretation on whether the ball was OB. BTW it wasn't. Also, it was a free drop because the grandstand is temporary. Finally they had several eye witnesses to the ball being picked up by the kitchen staff when it went over.
KD in CA Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 ...not to mention this happened on FRIDAY. Besides, they let the group behind them play through rather than waiting. This isn't baseball or football where the refs have a direct impact on the game and consistantly give preferential treatment to stars or big name teams. The guy played as badly as I've seen him on the front 9 Saturday and still comes back to win the tournament. Amazing.

But go ahead and continue your hate for the best player in the game by far Settle down Beavis, as far as I remember this is the first time i've ever posted about golf on TBD. I didn't know the let the other group play through, but I do know that both highlights I saw said it was "nearly an hour later" that tiger played his next shot.

Amazing. 753474[/snapback] I think Tiger Woods is one of the greatest athletes in history in terms of his mental edge. Psychologically he's just incredible....I think there are lots of examples of athletes who were mentally tough, and from all sorts of different sports, but in my opinion Tiger takes a back seat to nobody.

These are guys who have minds built for competition. When the stakes get highest, it's like they have an extra gear up there.

Tiger is the best golfer of his generation, and works damn hard for everything he is "handed." We should all be sitting back and marveling at what we are witnessing, because for generations to come everyone will be comparing the next "hotshot" golfer to Tiger Woods.
crackur Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 hell tiger himself said he didnt know HOW IT WASNT out of bounds.... yes, they play treatment to the ticket sellers in every sport

Tiger is the best golfer of his generation, and works damn hard for everything he is "handed." Who are you people? I make my first comment ever about golf on TBD and I'm getting accused of sour grapes, envy and racism? It's pretty pathetic that it has gotten to the point where you can't even make a comment about someone without getting labeled as a possible racist (actually I am a racist, I have a real problem with cablanasians ). If you honestly think that KJ Choi's lost ball would have gotten the same treatment and urgency from the rules committee I disagree with you. I never said a thing about tiger not being an incredible golfer, and I never used the term "handed". I made a simple observation - one that many other people have made this weekend - and suddenly tiger's slobbering fan club comes out of the woodwork to assault me...geez, I wonder what would happen if I called Phil "fake".

Pay attention ladies and gents, because we are experiencing history in the making. Someday your grandkids will ask you "did you really see tiger play?" haha ...

Because your whine reads exactly the same as those idiot/haters. it's pathetic enough that I have 2,000 posts here, I certainly don't spend any time on a golf message board. I have never seen so much knob slobbering in all my life, this is fascinating. Tiger Woods is black? Yes, he was drafted as black in the 2004 racial draft as seen on Chappelle's Show. Wu Tang Clan went to the Asians.
