TIGAHHHH -3 on the round when it looked like it could go way south. GOAT

Wish this was closer tbh. Was looking forward to watching golf all day but this is a runaway. I mean Phil is just steamrolling the course.

GAME OFF!

Why would Snedeker not finish? That's straight pussy.

GOAT gonna finish like the GOAT should.

Sony Open was exciting in the same fashion that hurricanes are exciting.

Aside from that, it's been football season and I've been busy. LOL BO

Hey I watched much of the Abu Dhabi tourney in realtime. And I tried to watch the tourney in Hawai'i but it kept getting interrupted by 80 mph wind.

Here for the TIGER lovefest

Great first event of the season. Finally some golf this year. To have Tiger involved makes it even better.

Golf forum has to be the only place where you can be simultaneously attacked for not posting while also being attacked for posting too much.

Do we need a PGA Tour Discussion Thread and a PGA Tour in-game thread? Feel like that would solve a lot of problems

schu,
Oh man a golf "gameday" type thread would be elite.

Then a concurrent thread for actual discussion about the tourney. But separating the "LOL PHIL" posts from the high-brow posts about the tourney would probably be beneficial.

^ I'm a rookie that doesn't carry weight around here, but that makes almost too much sense

It certainly works for the NFL in SE.

I'd start it but we better wait for some more input. Possibly mod input. and since tuq has both myself and Arod's Cousin on ignore, guess that would have to be cwicemvp.

lol. It should be for only Sunday though. Or at least just 1 thread for the entire 4 days, since there isn't heavy shot-to-shot activity TH-S.

I was thinking just one thread for the entire year, running concurrent with this regular discussion thread. It could be bumped whenever for lower-content live posting.

You and CBS. Nice to see Tiger walking down the fairway instead of possibly another golfer besides Tiger.

Even our National News here decided to go with the extended broadcast.

Insert rustled jimmies here.

Really glad I came back from the desert early, even though it was great cramming in so many rounds last week.

Was nice that the crowd following tiger wasn't as crazy as usual, not sure why there wasn't a bigger gallery.
Did they say anything about his shirt color on the broadcast?
Maybe he didn't have a chance to change between rounds.
He hasn't abandoned that tradition, has he?
Debating if I want to go out and watch in the morning as it is a virtual lock.

I personally don't see the need for it, but I'm a disciple of the NHL thread where we cycle between low-content in-game posting and serious discussion when nothing is happening pretty flawlessly. I'm assuming most of this thread's posts are going to be low-content because of the nature of golf discussion, but I'm not sure that 1) a discussion thread by itself would survive, and 2) 'serious' posts are necessarily getting lost. For the vast majority of tournaments, I don't think there's enough in-round posting to have someone's serious post overlooked to the point where it would get considerably more attention in another thread. I'm not even sure it's justified in cases like today, but even if it was, it's also silly to think a well thought out attempt at discussion will get the attention it deserves in the middle of an exciting round vs. when the players have finished for the day.

If it's what the people want I'm not going to fight to the death to stop you guys; I'm just skeptical at this point.

11am PST on CBS

I'm torn. It's less than five posters that routinely blather low content tripe in the PGA season threads, the same people that tend to mega post over in SE 100+ times during a single football game. Why people think this is cool I have no idea.

So if it wasn't for a few people, it wouldn't be necessary. But then again, if all the crap is contained in one thread, those who take things a bit more seriously don't have to wade through it to read the important stuff.

The only problem is if people post good stuff in the low content thread, it won't be read by all. Also new posters could be confused by the dual threads.

I'd just hate to see this good forum turn into a mirror of SE where 95% of the posts are total crap. So I guess do whatever needs to be done not to let that happen.

BO

You mean TGC? Because I thought the CBS coverage starts at 1pm local.

aww, ic, 11 start time. Crap, thought I could catch most if it during lunch

Tiger GOATing it on the course and almost certainly GOATing it in the bedroom. GOAT life.

Just caught this stat on the golf channel: In all of Tiger's previous wins at this tournament he has never finished inside the top 50 in driving accuracy for the field. So far this week he is 16th.

Unrelated to that, Tiger's wedge game looked as sharp as ever today. If he can keep the wedges even remotely dialed in and start making a few putts on the weekend like he used to, he should be in for a huge year.

This is false.



Miles Davis told me it was cool to post 100 times in a thread. So there. I said "What's a thread?" to which he replied "Well, it's 1991 and I'm about to die, but in a few years this thing called the internet will start becoming more and more commonplace. Just...you'll see what I mean. Anyway after you beat massive peen to goatse, head over to SE and post 'LOL ROMO' often. Just trust me. It's going to be the coolest ****ing thing you are capable of bro. Now I'm off to die. Peace. Miles."

Tiger tiger tiger woods y'all
