Every other hole, especially when a player is in trouble.

How would you play this?

I'd do so and so.
*player plays the stroke*
Probably not as good as that.

I know, ffs. That's why they're European tour players and you're a celebrity commentator stinking up the coverage.

Would prefer to hear how good a stroke it is in terms of the competition.

And Quiros, once the cream of the emerging Spaniards, finally won on the European tour after a gap of six years.

Masterful by Noren. Going to be a great win.

To all those who said Tiger would easily surpass Jack Nicklaus's record for most majors - nyer, nyer, nyer. tongue-out

Prescription medications being blamed.

Well tbf it's only his penchant for partying with and without pussy that's stopped him.

The guy should just buy a small country and put himself out there.

Vatican City? Monaco? San Marino? Liechtenstein?

Or maybe Saint Kitts and Nevis, Tuvalu or the Maldives are more his "flavour"??

by Bradman Tue 30 May 2017, 06:35

Beaches, palm trees etc. Actually he'd probably manage to screw that up too. Violent ctd the day the day the contracts are exchanged.

With his talent for wrecking things (career, cars, marriage) he's probably better off in the "if flies, floats or farks, rent it" crowd.

Honestly, the coverage of Tiger 's DUI has been quite unfortunate. Fair enough about him being arrested, but why does video of his breathalyzer test need to be published? And I say that as a Tiger "hater".

FFS, Steven Bowditch did the same thing a couple of months ago.

........and the predictable jokes. 'Woods can't putt, now he can't drive'

Really. I didn't know. That answer your highlighted question.

Bowditch has been battling alcohol and black dog issues for a long time. Steve however is universally loved by his comrades on tour.

Tiger too is admired by many on tour, most of whom like MK would be supporting him.

The guy was a wonderful player and has now battled injury and ops for a long time. He had no alcohol in his system, just a cocktail of pain meds. Clearly he was too ill to drive but was probably not mentally clear enough to avoid hopping behind the wheel. Sadly he had no one around to nick his keys.

If Phil M struck a reef that would be another story.

by tricycle Sat 03 Jun 2017, 17:45

fwiw, I like Bowditch too. One of my favourite players on the PGA tour as he can laugh at himself despite all his well documented struggles.

I am not much of a caddy but surely Tiger would bave been better off using a driver.

typical tired Taipan 'joke'. Gossipping about the servants' lives....again! What a flog!

Mickelson's most likely pulling out of the US Open.

I agree with this. He got caught out, but why the need to further ridicule him?

To be fair - the headlines mostly write themselves.

DUI of the Tiger

Slouching Tiger, Hidden Camera

and so on...

On the other hand he was quite happy with public attention when it boosted his endorsements.

by tricycle Sun 04 Jun 2017, 18:01

Well, they weren't paying very good attention when he was ****** anything with tits for ages. Not like this crap.

Anyway, my man Paratore won his maiden European tour title with the Nordea Masters. Very strong field.

by JGK Wed 14 Jun 2017, 16:21

US Open course looks typically brutal.

Any tips Trike?
