Ha,


Tiger shot a -7 under today at the Dubai....wow...he might just do it...and win all 4 majors this year...

[caladanbrood]

You may be over-stating that a bit Just being on form now doesn't mean he's on that kind of form.

[Optimus Prime]

I say he will win at least 3 this year.

Write it down.

I've had two hole in ones before,

you jammy, jammy, jammy bastard!

I know about 30-40 people who regularly play golf, and among all of us, only one person has ever hit a hole in one, and you've had two?

by the way, Carnoustie was close, but again, the postage stamp isn't there

[Dancer+]

If it's not Carnoustie I'd have to go with Royal Troon.

I guess I'm just lucky. The funny thing is although I shot a 39 off nine holes. I've not had very many birdies at all. Only about 5 or 6. 5 or 6 birdies and 2 hole-in-ones. Good ratio, eh? Thinking about it, very jammy.

I can't wait to get back out onto the course, so many good memories (and painful ones too)

Ian Poulter's comments make me laugh.

This guy almost makes Rory Sabbatini look smart....almost.

Tiger will go out of his way to smash them both.

[paladin]

Just came to say that Tiger is better at his sport than any other athlete in the world at their respective sports, and he's been doing it longer now.

[Optimus Prime]

The only comparison currently is Tom Brady lol.

Or Michael Jordan back in the day.

[paladin]

brady isnt that good, not nearly. for football, there hasnt been anyone like that for a while. a few were/are close, and id put ladainian over brady.. marshall faulk as well.. but the problem with football is that football players are a product of the system.

jordan is a valid comparison, as is kobe at this time, federer as well. these guys ARE the system

[Optimus Prime]

Kobe isn't Tiger because he can't win without Shaq...if he goes out and wins a few titles...then we can talk.

[Dancer+]

Michael Schumacher defined Formula one, he's come back for testing and he's fastest even with all the new changes (some of which the older drivers had already adapted to). At thirty-eight he's still fitter than some very fit young athletes, amazing.

[bubba]

Royal Troon.......

[drinksinbars]

i am a golfer - a course member of the royal county down - fourth best course in the world - best course outside the us apparently. Though i dont play the major course only the second course which was int he top ten in the eighties but is only in the top twenty or something now.

i dont keep track....

was very shit at start of last year - but have improved a lot after i got my new clubs. never got a hole in one - but once went round the course in eight over. Which is by far my best round.

yet hes clearly been head and shoulders better than anyone in the league in the past 4 or 5 years or so. and that much isnt really debated. yes, he doesnt win championships without shaq, but its a team sport, and we arent talkin about dominant teams. peyton manning is the best qb hands down in the nfl, but he only has 1 championship. 1 player does not a team make

[Optimus Prime]

What??? Kobe is not head and shoulders better than everyone in the league.

Lebron is already a better passer and team player.
Duncan has more rings.
Steve Nash is more important to his team

I could go on

yay 900 post!

[caladanbrood]

Incidentally, Tiger had an atrocious round, and is now 4 off the lead after making all the running in the first two rounds in Dubai...

Thanks for the update!

@Brood. It will be interesting to see if he can come back from that deficit.

***EDIT****He won...birdie on the 18th...lol...this guy is sick.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Best. Season. Ever?

[Dancer+]

I hate it when you see better golf players than you around. It's trying, especially when there are so many faults with your game because it's been laying dormant for six or seven years - all the way through the definitive teenage years.
