Posted on May 13, 2012 by

Strange sort of PLAYERS Championship this year characterized by a lack of star power at the top, with the exception of Rickie Fowler, and no dynamic pulse pounding finish.  Again, #16, 17, and 18 played pivotal parts, but I felt … Continue reading →

Posted on September 28, 2011 by

Yes, good move for LaCava.  Much speculation has been offered on LaCava’s decision to pick up Tiger’s bag with most of the sentiment running negative.  Before we jump to conclusions, consider what LaCava’s motivations are.  Early in his career he … Continue reading →

Copying Tiger’s power move

Look closely at the swings of these young guns next to Tiger and notice what they all have in common except for the last (Luke Donald).  They finish with the club nearly pointing at the target which indicates a tremendous … Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2011 by

Well put a nine-iron through the window, look who’s coming back to play golf.  If you ascribe to the Horses for Courses theory, this is the right move for the seven-time Firestone winner.  Despite his historical dominance, Tiger finished 78th … Continue reading →

Tiger – Gone from The Players!

Posted on May 13, 2011 by

To be honest, Tiger’s withdrawal is no surprise, however, the comments in his post round interview left me thinking that he overplayed the injury and simply quit because he was hacking so badly.  Mark O’Meara reported that he had played … Continue reading →
