The Tiger Woods saga

7400 vs 6900 isn't moot. That's a whole other tee box.

Yes it is. The best golfer on this board basically just said it is as well. It's less than 30 yes per hole with vastly superior drivers, completely custom fit clubs and absolutely explosive golf balls.

 

[volfanbill]

He is.

Sadly, it appears mrdew really is clueless though.

So who finishes higher this weekend?

What does that have to do with anything?

again, it has nothing to do with the argument at hand, so who cares?

 

[mdrew27]

And what about the 2002 tiger proof... The course didn't change that much? Because tiger has used much better equipment vs 1997 and hasn't come close to repeating those results.

Just wondering who you think will finish better

Just wondering who you think will finish better

the argument has never been about the best right now. Not once in this debate has that been the issue, but since you have no legs to stand on, I can see why you're trying to steer it that way.

...and I hit the ball about 20 longer now than I did when I was in college in the early 90s and it's not because my swing is any better.

I've presented my case. You've present nothing for tiger except there is no argument.

You made up two things and are going on and on about a 19 under at Augusta. That isnt a case. You've presented nothing but a bunch of BS and you know it, doozer knows it, 72 knows it and anyone dumb enough to be reading all this knows it.

My keep it in the fairway swing is up to 350, which is definitely more than 10 years ago.

This is quite possibly the dumbest arguement I've seen on this board, and I've been here from close to the start. Plus, your 'points' that back it up are as equally stupid.

Seriously, I really feel like we're in uncharted territory here. The only person I can think of off the top of my head to approach this level of stupidity is Sabanochio.

So what is your argument?

Who is the best golfer on this board?

GA, although apparently doozer, arkie and I are the only Vol fans in the world that don't have a 5 handicap or lower if the two golf threads are true.

 

[volfanbill]

we even have a legit contender for the REMAX Long Drive Championships, he just doesn't enter.

That wouldn't be me, but I can still shoot near par at age 65. Sometimes I can break par for 9 holes, but I run out of gas, or choke or something.

 

[volfanbill]

Yep. Dooz, Arkie and I are still the D players in any Vol foursome. Of course.

Not to brag, but I was always the "A" player. There were better A players of course, but give me a couple of people who can putt, and hit an occasional drive to make up for one of my bad ones, and we did okay..

Do you think Augusta is equally hard today as it was in 97?

 

[1972 Grad]

Do you think Augusta is equally hard today as it was in 97?

The average drive has gone up about 17 yards since then, and then the second shots are hit longer too. So the golf course needs to play about 450-500 yards longer to play the same clubs into the greens. Probably a touch harder today, but not much.

Ya a touch.... Tiger proof is only a touch harder.

 

[1972 Grad]

It is definitely harder, but the ball and the current drivers roll back a lot of that. If they played it with 1997 balls (pre-Pro V) and clubs .... (260cc drivers, no hot 3 woods, and no hybrids) they would score much higher.

The difference is marginal.
