I'm a skier and I hate people like you!
http://thesmackbat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8469BTW: I watched most of all four rounds. When Tiger gets on some normal putting surfaces, WATCH OUT. The only reason Tiger didn't run away with this event was because he was driven to near distraction by the horrible greens at Kapalua. Next time he's out will be the Buick at Torrey Pines. Tiger practicaly grew up on those greens. The way he's hitting the ball I wouldn't be surprised at a 5-6 shot win.
Damn dude, I'm impressed--although calling for a win by Tiger isn't really that far of a stretch. I think had the weather held up, your 5-6 shot call would have been about right.BSmack wrote:Here's what i wrote on Smackbat about the Buick.

It would have been a stretch in mid 04. But it really wasn't for me after seeing him in action at the Kapalua. Tiger was so dominant from tee to green at Kapalua it was just ridiculous.Felix wrote:Damn dude, I'm impressed--although calling for a win by Tiger isn't really that far of a stretch.

Looks like he may be close to "there" (wherever that is--different planet I think).
For the last year he's said over and over again "the swing is almost there". For the last year, he's been losing a lot of his drives right unless he tries to kill it which inevitably results in a hook to the left. There are as many opinions of what was wrong as there are golfers, myself included.BSmack wrote:
Did you happen to notice how many low trajectory shots Tiger has been sticking 10 feet or so from the pin? Distance control, trajectory control and putting are the keys to majors. He’s well on his way to being ready for Augusta, Pinehurst, St. Andrews and Baltusrol.
