Tiger’s Putting
Man – I am SO tired of sports writers who clearly know NOTHING about golf pontificating on why Tiger didn’t win the US Open this weekend. They are now blaming it all on his putting, because he was ranked 80th in putting stats. Let me explain why it was his DRIVING that caused the problem:
He missed a lot of fairways
If you miss the fairway, you are in deep, nasty rough
If you are in deep nasty rough, you can’t hit the ball as close to the hole as you would fron the fairway
If you are further from the hole, YOU MAKE FEWER PUTTS
If you make fewer putts, you make fewer birdies and pars
See how that works? Lay off Tiger. He’s the best golfer the game has ever seen, and he’s going to win more majors. A lot more. He won the Masters this year, along with three others.
So stop. Jeez.

I couldn’t agree with you more. These people that criticize Tiger right now either don’t understand the game, or are idiots. Jesus Christ, a major and three tournaments is a CAREER for most of the guys on the tour. I was disappointed that his shot ata same-year Grand Slam was cut short, but there’ll be other years. I felt the same way about Annika’s failed attempt…
