Fu roger maltbie says Casey

I find Sergio to be a complete butthead, but I can't stand watching something like that.

I had completely exhonerated him until this tournament.

Playing this course on 9/6. Think I'll ask for a couple dozen balls for fathers day. If anyone ever wants to play it, get a package deal. We are paying for 2 nights and 2 rounds for @ $500 each.

Oh man.

 

[govols/cc]

Sergio goes meltdown

 

[GBO18]

Dear God.

Prepare for some serious target golf.

Do you have to play with a forecaddie?

Bama cheats will caddie for you

Yeah "it's only a 340 carry to cover that bunker"

Do you have to play with a forecaddie?

Not when I was down there. But it's been awhile.

 

[Coach Grizz]

Was that a major win for Tiger or just a regular tournament?

 

[GAVol]

Looked like a major . . . but it wasn't a major.

 

[govols/cc]

Not when I was down there. But it's been awhile.

Just wondering. I know a lot of TPC & upscale courses require a forecaddie which isn't really a bad thing. Harbor town does.

Can Tiger win 100 tournaments?

Edit: On the PGA Tour.

Gonna be tough. I figure he's got another 4-5 years of high level golf left before he goes into gradual decline in his early 40s. I put the over/under at 93.

 

[GAVol]

He's at 78 now. To put into perspective how hard it is to win 22 times - Ben Crenchaw, Ernie Els, Greg Norman, Hale Irwin and Ray Floyd all had less than 22 wins in their entire careers.

I've asked for 2 autographs in my life. One was Keith Lee when I was a young Memphis state fan. I remember my mom had given me a nice pen and he kept it and I got in trouble. The other was Ben Crenshaw. He was behind me at Starbucks near Destin going to play on the Sr tour. I asked him if he would sign my hat and I bought his coffee for him.

I don't think he will decline as fast as others. I was thinking high 90s.

Can he pass Snead this year?

 

[GAVol]

5 more wins is a pretty tall order.

 

[doozer]

5 more wins is a pretty tall order.

I think 3-4 is realistic this year.

He's 4 of 7 this year. He stays on that pace he will definitely hit 100.

 

[volfanbill]

Meant to talk about this part. I think Tiger could have privately or publicly apologized and eased a lot of the tension. But instead, because of his own ego, Tiger just ratcheted up the issue. Some could even argue that this is another example of gamesmanship by Tiger because it's no secret that Sergio battles serious mental demons. This can only be bad for Sergio.

And good for Tiger if he gets a good start today.
