Happy Days!
 

No - not the show...

The U.S. Masters is on from tomorrow!:D

Hoping fox sports (or showtime) sorts out their coverage though as the coverage of the par 3 tourney on now keeps pausing:frown:

Re: Happy Days!
 

Ah yes............ golf.

One of Bernard Manning's last jokes:

"Seventy years ago, 100 white men chasing one black man was called the Ku Klux Klan. Now it's called professional golf.............."

So, Tiger then................ :unsure:

Re: Happy Days!
 

Hope tiger wins.

Re: Happy Days!
 

Whilst it's a shame for his wife and family, I think this whole episode has made Tiger seem a little more human that the automaton he was before.

It'll be interesting to see how this affects his game over the next few days though, but he looks relaxed if anything. It'll also be interesting to see how he reacts on good/bad shots, as he's said he won't react as 'passionately' as before. Not sure if he used this particular word, but it seems to fit nicely.

Re: Happy Days!
 

I don't understand why atheletes shouldn't react passionately.

Re: Happy Days!
 

I agree, I like to see it - before Tiger there wasn't a huge amount of it in the golfing world.

Except when I play, but then it's usually frustration and temper tantrums.

Re: Happy Days!
 

Ooohhhhh yes. thereare going to be a few late nights.....

Ditto, but if not I would like to see one of the European lads make a good run for it.

Re: Happy Days!
 

Monty? Is he playing?

Can't believe he never won a major.....poor bas.tard.

Re: Happy Days!
 

Woods was always an obnoxious stroppy self-interested git..............

In a sport that once saw gentlemen like Nicklaus, Palmer, Player and Watson shine, he's an embarrassment. Did anyone else follow his whingeing round of petulance at Dubai about 3 years ago? :frown:

Re: Happy Days!
 

his moobs get in the way of his swing

Re: Happy Days!
 

But all that apart, he seems to be quite handy with a golf club and ball?????

Re: Happy Days!
 

Don't think so... But great to see some of the other old timers doing well. Langer, Watson and Lyle on in the running. Don't see any of them winning but a great demonstration that power is not everything. Solid swing, good course managemnt and few years of experience all going to give a few of the youngsters a lesson....

And how great to see Couples at the top of the leader board, in my view one of the true nice guys of golf. And that swing, if Freddie was any more laid back he would be comatose.....

Good to see Westie and Poulter both doing well.

Tiger going well. Some great shots for some one that hasn't played competitive golf for 20 weeks..... Looking forward to tonights coverage....

Re: Happy Days!
 

So what?

I expect good conduct from public figures. Full stop. End of.

Re: Happy Days!
 

Why?

They're just human. The number of people that know you doesn't change who you are.
Sure - being in the public eye would make you aware you might have to try to behave yourself, but this idolising musicians, sports people etc is the fault of the masses....and we don't even idolise them for their talent anymore...we follow their every move, their girlfriends / boyfriends, wives, kids, their arguments, break ups, fashion sense etc etc etc it's just nuts.

Being able to get a golf ball in a hole doesn't make you a role model as a person.

Go Lee..... :D
