Three most common elements my ass. Muscular endurance/stamina is much more important to 'athletic' sports than reaction time could ever be. Golf is a sport just as much basketball is.
And as far as Tiger goes, don't blame him or his wife, blame Nike for forcing its athletes to have a stable family image to get endorsements. Nike knows that their stupid policy of making it important for those sponsored to have a wife and kids leads to tons of infidelity and ugly divorces, but they still do it. I don't fault athletes who have no interest in getting married do so anyway because they'll get significantly more endorsement opportunities and endorsement money.
how can you say the changes Tiger Woods brought (prior to his scandal) weren't good for golf? Prior to Tiger the only kids who played golf growing up were kids who belonged to country clubs. It was considered a yuppy sport played only by the rich. Tiger completely changed golf to a sport that way more kids wanted to play and a sport that wasn't so limited to country clubs. Golf wouldn't be what it is today without Tiger.
That would be like saying all you do when taking a jump shot is flick your wrist.
Dude, c'mon
No but it means you blow at beer pong, something anyone can master.
If you trained at beer pong for a year you would be good at beer pong
Agreed. I've played lacrosse and hockey as well but nothing compares to the mind called golf.
It's debatable, sure. But those three are quite important in many sports. You don't think there's a need for above average reaction time in a game as fast moving as the NBA? That's all rookies, even some international vets talk about when the reporters ask them about their transition into the big league: 'Just getting used to how fast everything happens in the NBA'.
crofl at comparing throwing a ball into a plastic cup to golf.If you trained at beer pong for a year you would be good at beer pong
So even though you think I'm stupid you admit that there is sense left to be beaten out of me?
Tiger will be back on top people. Just chill.
I wento to a bar the other night and asked for an Arnold Palmer, the bartender told me sorry we no longer serve that drink. She said they now served a drink called a Tiger Woods. She asked if I wanted one I hesitantly said surrrre.
Out comes this guy and he ed every chick in the whole bar.
Dude is going to finish at least 30 strokes back.
He's venturing into Daly territory.
I walk a narrow path Manny.
But there is room on it for every last one of us.
If and when I stumble,
I will dust myself off, and rise again and continue on that path, as I have done many times already. I will also learn my lessons so as to avoid those bumps in the road the next time.
I will not deviate from the path. I cannot pull anyone onto the path.
I can only walk joyfully for all to see.
It is ironic, that the anger of balli scares you, but only comes in 2nd to the love that I profess. You feel I'm most likely to snap. You are right, for I already have.
God has snapped his fingers in front of my face and I have awoken.
I understand that you have no trust in me.
I have no right to ask anyone for that trust, nor do I want to.
I only state that I trust with all my heart, all my mind, and all my soul in Jesus Christ, and God, Our Father, and that I will forever more love my neighbor as myself.
I realize full well that talk is cheap.
But these days, I walk the walk my friend. I've got the scars to prove it.
If I have scientists doubting my path, then I know I am on the right one.
If the world exclaims that I am out of my mind, then I know I am on the right path.
For I am of this world, just like you, and just like all of us.
However, my feet are now on firm ground.
I am no longer struggling to walk in the mud.
I am not above this world. I am better than no one.
But what I am working hard to be is above the temptations of this world.
This world is a big fat lie. False sense of security in it's ultimate sense.
Ask yourselves...what will you do on that fateful day.
The day when the money is gone...or worthless.
The day when there is no more electricity.
The day when there is no more gas for our automobiles.
The day when you may or may not have running water in your homes.
The day when we will be surrounded by the desperate and the depraved, much as we are now, but on an ultimate level.
When your families look to you for answers, and all you can do is pull out your science book and flip through the pages.
I don't put these questions in front of your faces to instill fear.
I put them in front of you so that you can see the true glory of love.
There will be a day, when the love in our hearts is all we have left.
I say start saving up that love in your hearts NOW!
Start loving each other.
Choose love in everything you do!
Selflessness instead of selfishness. In everything we do!
Do not let the deception in the bible creep into your hearts. Just choose Love. Follow Jesus. The rest will take care of itself. I can promise you that much.

If you let yourself be a product of this world,
then you have chosen the wrong path.
Contrary to popular belief, God does not want you to surrender.
God wants you to stand tall, in His name, and for His glory...in Love!
So let your soul rise above this world.
Never give in to anger...for as a wise one once said...that is the path to the dark side. Once you choose that path...forever will it consume you.
Anyhow,
as far as Tiger goes...
The man made poor choices. We all do.
The problem is that he is now clinging to the memories of his father.
That is why he chose to continue his golf career much sooner than he should have.
He must remember that the best part of his father was not the golf that he taught him. It was the love that he gave him.
When Woods finally realizes this, he will then see that he should put the clubs down and go do whatever it takes to get his family back.
If that means giving up golf forever, than so be it.
Those are his children, and Tiger's father got his joy by being with his child.
Tiger's true joy will be with being with his children as well.
After a year, or two...or whatever...when he has put Golf 2nd to his family.
Only then, will he be ready to return to the course.
For only then will he truly have peace in his heart.
And it is then, that I expect him to dominate once more.
Otherwise, the only way he can dominate again, is if he embraces the pain and uses it as a driving force. This is the wrong way to go, for he will lose his family forever, and he will be dead inside...but he could dominate on the golf course again...for his glory...at the cost of his children...
I hope he chooses the 1st path, and drops the clubs for a couple years and just worries about taking care of his family. It is what his dad would have wanted him to do.
It seems kind of crazy, at least overly enthusiastic, but at least he isn't using the bible as justification for hating on teh gays or muslims. And at least he isn't creeping around like angel_luv telling all us sinners to repent before we burn forever in a pit of molten fire.
I can get down with a Christian message of basic love and selflessness. And I'm a big fan of Luke 21:9-19. I appreciate it FWIW, bigzak.
While Tiger will eventually bounce back, he will never again be TIGER, the dominant player on the PGA tour. He'll win tournaments, but he'll never again strike fear into other players.
God Bless you brother! God Bless us all!
He wakes up every morning knowing he dun goof'd away 700 million. That has got to mindfck any human pretty bad.
David Carradine just killed himself in the afterlife after reading that joke.
Now she gets to have all the money without having to deal with any Tiger mess. Good deal for her.
There are plenty of women willing to let their rich and famous men cheat, he should have found himself one of those, make sure the whole thing is clear with her and do a of a prenup.
He only has his own stupidity to blame for this mess.
Also, I always thought he was mentally stronger than this.
