So weird. I’ve been in my local Ross the past couple weeks and have seen a bunch of these. They had like 5 of the black ones in both L and XL and quite a few of the other colors. I’m in central Florida so maybe they figure with all the golfers around they’ll sell better?

From my time at Burlington they definitely allocated stuff regionally and I bet they don't think they're moving much golf stuff in New Jersey in November.

I'm a Smedium so the outlets rarely end up with stuff in my size anyway.

I need Large Tall for golf polos for them to look good and stay tucked in, nobody ever seems to have great deals on them though.

Welp, realised I just don't like the feel of cast iron heads (ping iBlades).

Gonna have the Mizuno MP25's swapped into the new shafts that came with the Ping irons.

Cannot record scores for handicap at my course. No tee markers, more than half the bunkers tarped and played as ground under repair. Good thing. Shot a 37 on the front that would have been the same in normal conditions, never saw sand. 42 on the back, more like my regular game, and the one time in a bunker, it was uncovered. 11 putts on the front. That's a 79 I don't mind not putting in the books.

Pretty solid. Having 11 putts for 9 holes is something I wish I could do. I feel I'm technically a good putter but they just don't drop as often as I'd like. All this effort to fix tee shots and change my swing and I'm constantly let down by putting.

Anyway - the Tiger Woods hype is real. Everyone's talking about him being pain free and out driving even Dustin Johnson, I want to believe.

Google says Tiger would hit 130 mph+ in his prime. I don't think that's true.

The fastest swing on tour is Cameron Champ who averages 128 mph:

If you look at Tiger's Swing from 2000, it's about 5 mph slower. DJ only averages 122 mph so it's definitely possible:

edit: lol PGA Tour has clubhead speed stats going back to 2007 and Tiger averaged 123 mph: https://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02401.2007.html drat I'm good :smug:

I heard he out drove DJ. Not that he was out driving him. They were saying it was comparable though. Judging by the brief footage I've watched though his irons are looking mighty fine right now.

I am (yet again) hoping he's healthy. But... see thread title. :saddowns:

Also, his driver in 2000: 43.5 inches length, D4 swingweight, 7.5 degrees loft, steel X-100 shaft tipped an inch. He swung *that* 123 mph.

Took another look. It was 12. 1 putt on 1,2,7,8,9 and technically 5 (on the fringe on the par 3).

For my last year or so in high school, I put a 45" steel S300 shaft into my driver, the same 975D Tiger was using, though mine was 6.5*. Those were silly times.

Correct, when DJ flushes one he is easily putting it past Tiger.

I don't expect him to be better than many in the overall driving category this week but if Tiger's proximity to the hole stat (or I guess Strokes Gained - Approach since they use that now) is near the top I'll believe he might be competitive again.

one wrong shot out of the rough and his back will be toast again.

I'll still root for a couple of top-5's in Majors from a 42-48 y/o bald, drunk, angry, horny Tiger though. :getin:

He's never been a great driver of the ball, just needs to keep it in play and he'll score well. Just like me. gently caress you drivers.

Good look at birdie on 1. Had to settle for a par though.

His warmup on the putting green was funny, he's a far better putter using one hand than I am with both.

Unrelated, but Frank Nobilo looks like he's morphing into Trump or something lol, what a bad tan job.

That's the biggest take away. Other than his flubbed chip(s), he hit pretty good drives (there's always gonna be one screwy drive with Tiger) and excellent irons. He shot -3 and played the par 5s even.

Without a flubbed chip on 9, he would have birdied it. If he didn't lose his drive in the bush, it's par at worst.

Not too shabby.

The game just isn't as good without him, some of those pure iron strikes were a joy to watch. Every one of those 18 players are amazing ball strikers but tiger just has something else that's hard to describe. Guess it's just nostalgia having grown up with him dominating the game.

He had some solid par saving putts, and could have easily been a few shots lower. Seeing him stick a couple wedges close brought a smile to my face which is great, I really haven't rooted for any players in particular for a while.
