Tiger Woods

[Monster]

I don't know how many here care about golf... I love the game.

The Masters (What I consider the best major because it's always at the same course) starts Thursday and Tiger is out.
He is the greatest player of the current golf generation and could have been the GOAT... most believed he would make it.
I love the Masters and always watch it all... Tiger not being there is a bummer.
I remember many great ones before Tiger but something is missing without him.
He turns 40 this year... Only 20 people have ever won a major past 40....
I don't think he will ever get his 15th... and that is a shame.
It's hard to think of another sport/game star who had his impact and then fell so fast... after burning so bright.

I don't know your thoughts on the game... or really give a shit.
I just wanted to share my thoughts on the best player in 20 years being absent.
Kind of sucks...

People are mad at him, didn't he do a bunch of hookers?

 

[Monster]

Not at the Masters... Usually at Denny's if memory serves.
But not really my point.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

I think he will win another major.

So, you think of golf as a sport of sorts?

No... Just the greatest game ever played...

I know many people thought he would break Nicklaus' record. Of course he was cruising toward it, but the field caught up with his driving distance and his injuries took him out. He was certainly an exciting player, but it's highly unlikely he ever wins another major. His advantage was always having a shorter hole to play than the rest of the field. It's not there any longer. You have to respect someone's game when that person is at the top and retrains his swing several times to remain the top player in the world. Golf is missing that excitement right now.

Golf is missing that excitement right now.

Not sure you should ever put Golf and excitement in the same sentence !

Not sure you should ever put Golf and excitement in the same sentence !

If you ever drove a 410 yard hole with a shot at an eagle on a par 4, you would get the excitement.

That will never happen. Golf=Rage for me lol. Watching Golf is like getting hit with a tranq gun or watching Kyle Ortman play QB.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

not really a golf fan but I was a watch Tiger on Sunday fan for years

I thought this was going to be a turning point...

I agree... If you don't play it you don't get it.., I was the same until I caught the fever around 1991.
My regular saturday game is now my favorite time of the week, other than my lady giving me that look.

 

[Ares]

I turn into Kylo Ren and rage when I golf.... but then again doesn't everyone?

I can only watch it if I am like out at the bar with my Dad or something, I aint gonna put it on at home.

Why do we not have a golf forum? With a frolf subforum?

I mean... we have a fire forum... surely there's more golf fans here than MLS fans..

[Omeletpants]

I once got so excited that I peed in my pants playing golf. Thank god for Depends

Occasionally I wander in to the Fire forum by mistake and am attacked by roving herds of tumbleweeds.

Tiger fucked himself in addition to the whores, and now his body is breaking down.

Illogical. Because golf sucks and I'd never waste my time trying to get good enough to be able to hit a ball that far or accurately.

 

[GalePayton]

Everything went downhill with Tiger Woods when his marriage hit the skids.

 

[Urblock]

After hitting my buddy sitting in the cart with my tee shot I was asked to stop showing up. It left a pretty good mark. He thought I broke his rib. He also didn't like how hard the rest of us were laughing. That was a fun day of drinking.

@Monster
Loved, Loved Tiger as a player.
The guy that immediately came to mind that fell so quickly was Mario Lemieux. In Mario's case it was cancer instead of injuries.
Denny McClain is another in baseball that just had his career come to an end quickly.
The reverse would be someone like Sandy Koufax. Had two different careers. One bad and then one HOF.
