What? STFU?

You no likey being trolled, even while you are Jedi knight at trolling yourself?

See if your doctor can prescribe something for that anger problem.

Meanwhile, chill out.

Myself, I don't give a damn about golf..........other than to see how fulsome Michelle Lee becomes when she turns 19.

This topic has been bantied about for years. On another board, I said (years ago) that Tiger will fade, and be just a very good golfer. He had his nut. He peaked already. Life gets in the way for guys like that. Spats with the swing coaches. (Eventually) women. Maybe kids! And this insane idea that he can recieve millions sometimes, just to appear at some event! That's what will keep him unmotivated. He's already set for life. His kids lives, and his Grandkids lives. He plays half the tournaments Jack did in the heyday of the game, (60's and 70's) Back when the clubs and balls weren't space age technology, and guys didn't use illegal equipment.

Nicklaus had one of the very FEW Birdies on #16, the par 3, yesterday; when he drained a nice 30 footer. Brining back memories of probably the greatest putt ever in Masters history. While turds like Els and Tiger flounder out of trees and water.

Tiger weill never do what Jack has done. He'll retire well before he comes close to 18 Majors, and 19 seconds in Majors.

You were wrong.

He had his nut. He peaked already. Life gets in the way for guys like that. Spats with the swing coaches. (Eventually) women. Maybe kids! And this insane idea that he can recieve millions sometimes, just to appear at some event! That's what will keep him unmotivated. He's already set for life. His kids lives, and his Grandkids lives.

A few points...

1. Jack was set for life quite a while back. He married at an earlier age than Tiger and had kids. Yet somehow he was able to make his mark. Tiger will survive marraige and children the same as every other professional before him.

2. Tiger was set for life the second he dropped out of Stanford and signed his deals with Titleist, Amex and Buick. Yet he still rose up and became the most dominat golfer of the last 10 years.

3. Guys like Jack and Tiger are not playing to make a living, they are playing for championships and a place in the history books.

Nicklaus had one of the very FEW Birdies on #16, the par 3, yesterday; when he drained a nice 30 footer. Brining back memories of probably the greatest putt ever in Masters history. While turds like Els and Tiger flounder out of trees and water.

And I'm sure Tiger will roll up on 16 sometime in the 2030s and do the same thing. I hope I'm alive for it. That is one of many things that makes the Masters special, the ability to watch true living legends play on the same stage as stars of the present day.

Tiger weill never do what Jack has done. He'll retire well before he comes close to 18 Majors, and 19 seconds in Majors.

You're right about the 19 2nd place finishes. Tiger takes too many chances when attempting to overcome defecits to allow for that many 2nd place finishes. He's either on top, or has played himself out of contention.

However, by the end of today, Tiger will be halfway to 18 majors. And, if you accept US Amateurs as majors (bullshit) he'll be at #11 of 20. Tiger is 29 years old. He is just entering what would be considered a golfer's peak years. With his training program, Tiger can expect to be at the peak of his powers for at least another 12-15 years.

In other words, if you're betting against Tiger you are making a fools bet.

I made my point.

You think Tiger is the Greatest of All-Time.

Am I wrong?

Nope.

So you STFU.

Probably depends on what she's wearing ... err, how she's playing by then.

Rack. So to speak.

I'm guessing you're talking about Michelle Wie, but I could be wrong.

At age 15, she's what......6'1", about 180#? About the same size as me, except my penis is larger. And a 300 yard poke is considered "very very good" for me, and pretty much "average" for her.

I'd marry her on her 18th birthday, though......with the rule that she had to lose to me on purpose every time.

If Michelle Wie is serious about competing against the men, she is going to have to start hitting the rockpile big time. Just look at the body change Annika has accomplished in the last 3 years and double that. That's what Wei will need to compete and win with even average male players.

In other words, she could very easily be quite Narvratalova like in 3-4 years.

Fear not, we still have Natallie Gulbis.

And she's legal. ;)
