A great man once said Golf is a good walk spoiled.

He also said

 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

Hello Dutchis55 - Watson's recovery from the case of the "yips", or what ever it was is one of the most amazing stories in the history of the game.  That he was able to come back and not only compete, but actually win alot of big tournaments is incredible. Watson was LOST.  It was painful and depressing to watch him miss 1-2 footers.  i remember almost wanting to cry.  It was painfuly ironic that he was faced with that tricky 8 footer to become the oldest major champion in history, and to win his SIXTH British Open, and basically yipped it again.  He was done the moment the ball slid by the cup.  

The point is great players like Watson, and Tiger Woods (ironically BOTH TW's)  have the ability to work through the ebbs and flows of playing golf at it's highest level.  You don't always have it.  You have to dig your way out.  You have to tinker and adjust. It's ALWAYS a work in progress.  Players are always thinking about different swing keys and theories as their games and physical abilities change.  Watson is one of the best in the history of the game because he stayed at a high level for so long.  Obviously so did Nicklaus, Player, Snead, Hogan etc.  You haters are living in a dream world if you think Tiger Woods is no longer Tiger Woods.  You need to check his ID.  Eldrick Tont Woods.  Right there in black and white.  His putter will get hot again.  It's inevitable.  It's my opinion on what we aill see.  You don't have to agree with me.  Just shut up.  Get your popcorn popped in April.  If El tigre' is not right there on the back nine on Sunday, I will be very surprised.  

If you are claiming I said I went to Pebble Beach this week, you most assuredly do need to get off the crack, or perhaps you have some other mental problem.  Such a claim is a pure figment of your imagination.

As for the sponsors, well, indeed they need to let the golf media know they are losing customers because they are advertising on networks which are making a mockery of golf coverage.  I was proclaiming Friday night that it was a travesty that Mister Mickelson shot 29 on his inward nine, led Woods by a stroke, and yet the media all but ignored him in their rush to gush over Woods.

By the way Dutchiss -  I wasn't telling you to shut up.      That was really for the kiniks, noko's, and lanny's of the world. 

But do get your popcorn popped -   

It was only one Sunday-  I am sure everybody still fears Tiger's bite-



 

He was TEN strokes up at the time of publication of my insightful and acuarate post.  He is back and I do know ONE thing.  You are a dork.  

Stumpy....you are terribly amusing. Terribly ignorant  but very amusing with it.

   

Stumpy...I believe you atre correct.  First time in all the years you have posted here. Well done Stumpy.

   Anyway your chappie was CRUSHED by 11 strokes.  Yet you told us he's BACK.    You are an intellectual dwarf

MikeHawk wants me to shut up.  Like I would give a ratz azz what the idiotic pshyco wants.  Everybody on the board except him and his many identities knows he is nothing but a blowhard and a Tiger hardblow.

If you are going to make yourself look stupid at least be original.He never said this.And you are from Michigan so who really cares what you have to say.

Son you better check your history Mark Twain said both. So as he said  It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

At least, Tiger is consistent.  He has choked on the last day in this last 2 tournaments.  It he keeps improving like this............

Tiger Woods melts down in spectacular fashion at Pebble Beach

By Jonathan Wall -Devil Ball Golf

</cite>Tiger Woods lets go of his club during the final round at Pebble Beach. / Getty ImagesTiger Woods tends to have a pretty good handle on state of his golf game, but it's safe to say even he didn't see the meltdown coming Sunday at Pebble Beach. Less than 24 hours after Woods holed his final putt on 18 on Saturday to close out a stellar 5-under 67, he showed up for his head-to-head battle with Phil Mickelson with a chance to not only beat one of his biggest adversaries, but also capture his first official Tour win in more than two years.

But there was just one problem: Woods forgot to bring his swing to the course. In one of the most shocking rounds we've seen from him since his first-round implosion at the 2011 PGA Championship, Woods completely lost it at Pebble Beach, blowing his tournament hopes to pieces with a final-round performance that will certainly have him wondering where it all went wrong.

How bad was it? Put it this way: Woods' amateur playing partner, Tony Romo, shot a lower final-round score … and he was playing as a scratch golfer. But that wasn't the only black eye for Woods. He didn't just lose the tournament to Mickelson — who was two shots behind Woods when the day started, he finished the final round with a 3-over 75, which was 11 shots worse than Mickelson's 8-under 64.

"I didn't hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful," Woods said after his round. "I just could not see my lines. I couldn't get comfortable."

As CBS analyst Nick Faldo noted during the closing holes of the tournament, if Mickelson and Woods were going head-to-head in match play, the match would have ended 7 and 5. Simply put, it was a "Mickelson Massacre."

As quickly as the good vibes came in for Woods following three rounds in the 60s this week, they all but disappeared like the surf in Stillwater Cove in a matter of a couple holes on Sunday. Woods looked robotic in the final round, rehearsing his swing over and over again in an attempt to try and find it on the back nine. But it never came back. Hard as it is to believe, Woods went from owning his swing for a majority of the tournament to looking completely lost when it mattered most.

We've seen Tiger take two steps forward and three back over the last couple of years as he tried to rebuild his confidence and swing with instructor Sean Foley, but after after watching him fail to make a move during the final round in Abu Dhabi, and melt down on Sunday, you have to wonder what's next for Woods.

Based on all the progress he's made over the last few months, it's hard to believe the final-round struggles are going to turn into a trend (Tiger's made too much headway to make that assumption). But if he gets himself in this position again and fails to produce on Sunday? Well, expect the naysayers to come out in full force.

And it is sure easy to make comments to people you don't know while you can hide miles away hiding behind a computer

Guys. DLopez on these boards is the former Brian8ball and then Bigbangtheory17 who keeps getting banned.  Don't bother with him. 

Or just let CBS know it's him that keeps coming back, eventually maybe they'll ban his I.P or something. 

Thanks, Redwings.
