Euro,

I can only assume you're doing some serious trolling here with all this, "Tiger never get jailed behind trees, blah blah"

Either that, or you're an idiot.

Also, "making fun" of Tiger for walking that putt in and pointing to it so very stupid.

I suppose you hated when Jordan stuck his tongue out? Or when he leaped in the air after sinking that shot against Cleveland...and repeatedly pumped his fist?

Tiger was in the grind of his life that day. (golf wise) He's the #1 player in the world and he's got some no-name (to most) trying to take away his 3rd straight major.
When he is in a playoff where it is entirely possible for him to lose, heaven forbid he show some emotion.

I personally get chills every time I see the replay. Not just because I'm a huge Tiger fan. Because it's a great moment in sports history. If it was just some random putt on Friday, of course it would be a bit much.
If you take into consideration the moment, and everything that was going on, it's pretty [censored] awesome.

I don't remember any OB left on 18 at Valhalla at the 2000 PGA.

Tiger gets no special treatment from the rules officials. Rules are rules. He should actually be commended for having the knowledge to be able to remove the boulder in Arizona. Note the rule book was changed after that episode. Using that logic one could say rules officials kissed Els butt at the 1994 U.S. Open.

Tiger certainly gets special treatments in many ways, but not by the rules officials.

All,

There is this awesome little function around here that allows you to ignore specific users posts.

PM me for details if you can't figure it out.

Is there a way to ignore a poster in just one forum? Cause I think you are an ok poster outside of the golf forum.

*snap*

I don't dislike teh Bitcho, I just like giving him crap about Tiger. Let's group hug or something gay, lest our misplaced acrimony tear the forum apart.

Seriously butcho you stroke Tiger's ball way too much. Like I'm a huge fan, but I think you take it to new homosexual levels. Chills when he made that putt?

Are you insane? Do you have anything else to get excited for besides a Tiger putt giving you CHILLS? Jeezus christ man.

tdk: equal opportunity hater.

I love how the guy reveals how much he enjoys that clip that Euro hates-- and you tell him that, basically, it makes him a useless lover of peener. Overall, internet forums could probably use less of this sort of thing, but I'm really finding it hysterical right now.

yes, I am doing some serious trolling here, but again, there is a degree of truth to it. and no, I am not an idiot.



theoretically, I didn't "make fun" of him for doing his little prance toward the cup and point, i just called it one of the gayer things i've witnessed on televised golf. If he stood in place and done a huge fist-pump (like he did on 8 yesterday) or some other celebration, I honestly would not have nearly minded as much (of course you won't believe that, though.) It's just the way he walked after it and pointed was just so fairy-like.

no, I actually love that celebration because it looks cool as hell and is raw emotion.





also, I hope you weren't directing people to ignore me, Bitcho. and I honestly hope that you don't have me on ignore as they would be missing a lot of quality material that I post. I realize we don't see eye to eye on golf, but isn't that what makes these threads so much fun?

yeah, that was at Augusta this year on 11, and it ended up 30 or 40 yards shy of the green i believe. but citing one incident won't convince me that he gets jailed as much as any other player that hits it in the trees.

well said.

dude, my contributions are fantastic. maybe ridiculous at times, but still outstanding. but I thank you for taking back that Bitcho comparison.




I'm not saying Tiger gets ALL the on-course breaks, but he seems to get more than his fair share. gallery patrons throwing themselves in front of wayward tee shots like a secret service agent taking a bullet for the president, etc.

No one got that more than Arnold. Somehow the world survived.

I can't tell if you don't remember the shot or that there is OB. There is a perimeter fence but in this pic it's farther away than I remember it being, so it's possible he may not have been able to hit it out. He hit it WAY left though, and it rattled around somewhere by where you see that service road coming in, and it ended up in a much better spot than it was headed. Just wanted to clear that up.

There was, all along the left-side. I think it was about 25 yards left of the path from where Tiger hit. There were a few trees there and quite a few people where he hit it. The funny thing is, if anyone hit his ball in an attempt to influence Tiger, they probably knocked it backwards to hurt him, which is where it ended up. I was on the other side of the fairway (on the other side of the lake), so I didn't see it.

Oh please. It looked like he was headed ob, it came back. We'll never know exactly what happened. I'm fine with he just got a lucky break. Arnie's galleries were famous for a willingness to take a ball of their forehead to keep him between the ropes.

The important thing in my mind is that Tiger has dominated getting good and bad breaks, which are all part of the game. And when Sergio has implied that somehow Tiger sat on a horseshoe he looks ridiculous, and it is one of his weaker moments, imo.

No no no, it was never even close to the OB. It appeared to skip into a bush/tree next to the cart path. Then a spectator was seen running toward it and after a few seconds we see a ball rolling backwards down the path and away from the bush/tree and into a position where he could knock it on the par 5 in three.

I appreciate the overhead of the hole to see that indeed OB is there, although it's not really in play. You can also see the proximity of the path to the OB and can easily tell that Tiger's ball was in no danger.

BO

Your memory is better than mine. I should have said that while we did not have a complete camera perspective of what happened, and that the ball seemed to behave surprisingly, I highly doubt any hanky panky occurred. He caught a good break. That's the other rub of the green.

Agree completely

I lean this way as well, I just can't see anybody doing this without at least somebody seeing the whole thing and it coming out.

BO

Euro,

I was letting people know they could ignore me, not you.

These major championship threads are here for us to give our thoughts about the tournament, and to also say how we feel while the rounds are being played.

When Tiger [censored] something up, I get pissed. So I type a few [censored] [censored] [censored] posts every once in a while. Big deal. Perhaps I should join in on the next argument about whether or not Jim Nantz sucks instead. (which he most certainly does)

It's not like I go around to EVERY thread shouting how great Tiger is.

tdk,

Yes, I am insane. And no, I don't have anything else to get excited about except for that one putt.

(I hope you realize how stupid that statement is. So basically if YOU were to get chills about some moment in sports, that would be all YOU had to be excited about? Insult me all you want, but at least come with something better than that, lol.)

All,

Tiger's ball was going out of bounds on the 18th hole that day, but I helped a brother out. I've apparently gotten away with it, in spite of all the cameras. (Which includes a blimp with full overhead view.) Oddly enough, nobody must have seen me do it! Surely if they had, at least one of them would grab there 15 minutes of fame and tell someone about it.
So far so good

are you guys talking about the same shot that tiger hooked way left and started "bouncing" down the cart path like 100 yards farther down the course on a delay when it was destined to be in huge trouble after it was pretty obvious that some clown threw it down the path?

Basically.

Anyone watch PTI today and hear the junk Austin was spewing? According to the show, Austin was telling everyone that he played better than Tiger on Sunday, and he was better than Tiger on Friday, tee to green. It was just his nerves that kept him from closing the deal. Wilbon absolutely destroyed him after those comments. Anyone hear them live?

Naw but I'd love to watch that.
