GOLF STORY, I know, but this is why I love Tiger. His opponent makes some snide comment while warming up on the practice tee. Tiger hears it, and wins the first 9 holes, winning the round after 10 holes.
I especially like his interview after he finishes, terse and to the point. No one fargs with Tiger. He's the Chuck Norris of golf.
can he play linebacker?
Trash talking in golf = trash talking in bass fishing. Funny to listen to.
what was the comment that the dude made?
He said something about Tiger's drives not being on the mark.
Nothing like poking a sleeping Tiger with a stick.
Get it? Poking a sleeping Tiger?
:-D
I crack myself up. ::)
What's even funnier is at the bottom of the article. Vijay's caddie wore a hat with "Tiger who" printed on the back. Not only did Tiger beat Vijay in match-play, he refused to concede any putt for the entire round. :-D
wow....i'm fired up just reading that

I take it this is some kind of golf etiquette bitchslap that only golfers would understand?

If your competitor has a two-inch tap-in to halve (meaning "tie") the hole, you concede it.
I love what Tiger brings to the table. He's a cocky, arrogant motherfarger but his skills and grit are beyond anything the PGA Tour has ever seen. Remember, there's 127 other guys out there looking to beat him. They're not looking to win the tournament necessarily. They're often looking to beat Tiger, yet nearly always, they fail miserably.
You gotta love that.
Yay Golf!
Go John Daly!

That's not nice. I've lost a lot of weight since you last saw me, bro.
:'(
While I'm inclined to agree with you RJS, Tiger's different.
I play golf (poorly), and I know a lot about hitting out of the rough. They call it a "fairway wood" for a reason - most people wouldn't hit it out of 3-4" high grass. Tiger does, though, and usually within a short putt for birdie/par. He's just ridiculous when he's on.
:-D
I used to golf. I'd like to start again someday. I could kill the woods but I blew with the irons except for the PW.
My buddy's wife bought him a $400 driver for Christmas. We were playing last Friday and as he teed off, the farging head came flying right off the end of the shaft.
Meanwhile, my other buddy bought his driver at Target for $39 and just after the other clubhead went sailing down the fairway, he steps up and drills one about 275 right down broadway.
:-D
That's why golf is fun to play. Sure, it's mind-numbingly boring as a game, but still, watching a guy break a $400 club and then watching another dude rip one off with a $39 Target-special is about as good as it gets in the ball-busting department.
:yay
Yeah...when I played I was a kid though so I had to go with the "mixed bag' special. I had like 13 different brand names and I think a few didn't even havenames on the clubs. Just plain.
But it was nice when I went to the range or played a round to see the guys who are all pimped out and watch them get beat by a 13-year old.
Maybe this spring is when I get back on the course....
