Roughly the same reaction my 60-y.o. had mother at the 1996 US Open. She bought a visor & got Nicklaus,Watson & the reigning two-time Amateur champ.

:lmao:

I have exactly one autograph. Which somebody else got & gave to me. Never understood it.

I worked the '84 PGA as a kid at Shoal Creek...got everyone...Palmer, Jack, Norman, Trevino, Seve, Player, Watson, etc...lost the visor but still vividly remember semi-meeting some of them, as they were pretty interactive with kids. The King was the best...

My brother went to the Arnold Palmer Academy (then at Statton Mountain, VT) in 1972 as a 15 y.o. He won the end of the week tournament for his class and his prize was playing 9 holes with Arnold and two other students. He flew his own plane in & went straight from the airfield to the course. I've met a few athletes and IME there is no comparison. Just the most gracious, warm person I've ever been around. Made anyone who talked to him feel like the most important person in the world. My whole family drove from Michigan to pick up my brother - made it a family vacation along the way - and we still talk about it from time to time.

I was ten at the time. A few months earlier Charlie Sanders pulled me out of the stands to shoot a free throw for the Lions barnstorming basketball team (imagine that existing today.) My sister babysat for Mickey Lolich’s 3 daughters all winter. At that age (& that era) it seemed like NBD to meet athletes.

Arnold was a different deal, though, that was like hanging out with Ali. Of course he was so folksy, no airs about him. He smoked like a chimney - like most adults then or so it seemed - which somehow added to the whole cool factor.

Where does Tiger go in a Majors Only draft? Placing well contributes to your team score even if he doesn’t win. 

Top 30?

Where will someone reach for him?

Tiger's last 5 tourneys(the only ones he played obviously)... 9th, 23rd, MC, 12th, and currently 2nd.  Those would be impressive stats for anyone outside of the top 10 in the world.  I'd gladly take him in the top 20 somewhere right now.  If he shows even more improvement next week?  Top 10 for me on any majors board.  He knows how to deal with major championship pressure.

No big deal.  You won't be able to tell difference after 6-7 beers anyway and they should still be cold.   :thumbup:

They ran out of beer :lmao:

Had some bloody mary’s instead. It was a good time - 10 minutes door to door from my house. Legit never had an idea this was that close to me. I’ll go back next year and just uber there. 

Golf bros are real dbags though. We watched a couple groups in front of the Hooters Bro tent and it was just the worst.

Saw that coming...they were getting low mid-aft yesterday.  It'll happen over the next two days for sure.  There were some other areas where you could tell they weren't ready...parking. Has to be tough to ramp up that much that quickly.

 
Looks great to me. Swinging like back in the day. I think both he and Phil are going to make noise in the Majors this year. Tired of the young bucks.

Another thing that was so amazing about Tiger back in his prime.

Tiger went 142 in a row without missing the cut :o

Paul Casey has the longest current streak right now at 26

My Honda, but related - Tiger has never missed two consecutive cuts. Maybe not quite so significant now as he cuts back on his tournament schedule. Stlill a nice streak.

It's like Christmas morning.  I can't even sleep I'm so excited.  I don't think I can stand to follow Tiger around all day though.  There are some good spots where you can get in front of his group and catch multiple holes.

I won't go anywhere near that Owl's Nest.  Total sausage fest.

This is an open (Open?) question IMO.  There's no doubt his head was in his way when he first came back and until I see him grind out a final round 70 to win from the front I'm dubious.

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but when Tiger is in contention interest in golf really explodes. More attendance, higher ratings, all of it.

We were standing there watching Rory and then Sergio’s group. Sergio walks right by us and fist bumps some kids etc and some doosh said YOU SUCK SERGIO. 

Sergio for some reason gives the guy what he wants and turns around and stares him down. Really odd scene.

 As a group, golf fans are incredibly classy but there’s a decent subset of young ##### bags that make it their mission in life to live up to the rich bro stereotype.

I honestly don't understand the desire to do #### like this. Can someone explain it to me?

I wonder if Tiger has a GHIN?

Dean Knuth (aka The Pope of Slope) has been doing this for fun since Tiger was a youngster. Back in 2015 - on the heels of shooting at 85 st The Memorial - he pegged him as a +5.9. During the Tiger Slam era (circa 2000) when he was obliterating 140 years of major championship history, it never dropped below +10.

Tiger’s GHIN?

:excited:

My older brother is the best golfer I’ve ever played with on a regular basis. He won the state championship at 14 (with a graphite shaft driver - the Detroit Free Press did an article on his custom made club in the fall of 1971), held the 9-hole record at our home course (29 on a par 35 3300 yard course - drive & a wedge on every par 4, drive & a 7-iron to eagle the 490 yard par 5 7th), was a failed mini-Tour player who seldom cashed on the Florida Powerbuilt Tour. Stuff he would do was amazing, like wrecking a cup by hitting it on the fly with a 140 yard PW. He peaked at +2.

Don’t really care what the results are this weekend or at Bay Hill. Wouldn’t be surprised if he won both, but it’s been a long time since he tested himself against final round pressure. Regardless, golf is more fun with him healthy & playing well. Can’t wait to see him at ANGC!
