I'm super pleased Tiger won, he really changed golf 20+ years ago and brought a new group of viewers in, and more younger people to play the game. I'm hopeful he keeps playing and winning for many years to come.

One thing cannot be questioned: Woods is on the Mt. Rushmore of men's golfing greats along with Jones, Hogan, Palmer and Nicklaus.
Sad to say I can't name a similar list of women, which is due to my shortcomings land that of the sports press, not the fault of the greatest women golfers. |

Same here.....did try it twice, didn't care for it. Took too much time.....and is rather pricey if I recall.

I don't play golf, although I own a set of clubs that came from a big-box sporting goods store. I've played five or six times, each game worse than the last. I took a lesson once and realized that if I really practiced and took a lot of lessons, and played the game regularly, I could become a mediocre player. But I have no interest in making that time commitment.
For me, the Tiger Woods story is more about diversity than anything else. |
I don't play golf anymore and don't follow it. I am impressed by Tigers return to glory!

You may find this interesting!
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...=1000435010573 There are four things that I am happy that I never got involved in: Smoking, Gambling, Golf, and boating! On the other hand I have spent many thousands of dollars over the last sixteen years attending S-2000 meets. So I guess that everyone has their vices? |
I can't claim to play golf, but I do hit a ball around the grass. Last summer I joined a statewide group of retirees and their main thing is golf. Mostly 9 holes at a nearby course that costs me about $15 if I walk and don't use a cart. Gives me some exercise and I have met some nice fellas. I finally have a handicap after playing off and on for many years, and it's 36, so that should tell you something. It's still fun and madly frustrating.

Played a few times when I was in my 20's but never cared for it.
Boss I had for a summer job in high school liken it to: "chasing a white pill around a field until you find a bar". Have watched a handful of matches over the years on TV. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...ea24704f11.jpg |
