Everyone needs to cut Tiger Woods some slack
I've been waiting for someone to stand up for Tiger Woods, but apparently it's easy to join the chorus of Tiger-naysayers. It almost seems like some people enjoy, with glee, watching Tiger lose. So he didn't close out the 2007 Masters. So what?
His record for past majors is that he's won every major where he's had the lead after 54 holes. That record (which is still intact) suggests that Tiger doesn't typically come from behind to win. This week was no different. He wasn't leading after 54 holes, and he lost after 72 holes. Same old Tiger.
And most people seem to be forgetting that Tiger Woods was really the only person (except for Justin Rose for a few moments before he self-destructed on 17) that threatened down the stretch. Sure, there were a few others but they faltered long before 17. Tiger's driver is balky, but had he converted the makeable birdie putt on 16, he'd have closed the gap to 1-stroke with 2 holes left. Even on the 18th hole, Tiger was still a threat of making eagle (remember Pebble Beach). And had Tiger holed out, Zach Johnson would've been toast because he was already so teary-eyed doing all those interviews on 18.

i hope tiger has sense enough not to read this blog. what a bunch of knuckleheads.
do any of you retards realize that jack not only won 20 majors - he also placed 2nd another 15+ times - and guess what... he blew many of those tournaments - that is golf - a game of recovery and sometimes even the greats can't recover or they just plain screw up - but they move on and come back to win another day - you guys need to move on as well - go to your club and slice it into the woods and miss a few short putts for me, tiger and jack---
looper out
I can understand why Tiger didn't stop after the round on Sunday and talk to the press. Those idiots probably would have asked him some stupid question like they did Phil Mickelson when Phil got snagged after Saturday's round.
Tiger has the composure and skill to keep his cool, he has proven he can perform under pressure. If anything he seems to have such high standards for himself and won't allow himself mistakes which forces him to make even more mistakes. Tiger just proved he is human Sunday, he can't win all the tournaments, he didn't loose Sunday, he just didn't score high enough to walk up and be presented with the green jacket this year but he already has four, so he has nothing to prove and this speaks for itself. Tiger can only get better, he isn't going to get worse. It's frightening to think how much better he can get. Tiger is one of my role models and always will be, he's one super human being and that's what counts in life. He came from humble beginnings and hasn't forgotten it.

-LASERBALL-
The only Golf Training Aid IN THE WORLD
That Projects a Laser-Dot From the Putted Golf Ball
And turn any room/office floor into a golfers heaven
WWW.LASERGOLFBALL.COM
LASERBALL: it’s the only golf training aid in the world that projects a Laser-Dot from the Putted Golf Ball. Using the LASERBALL requires nothing but your favorite putter. Simply putt the “real” golf ball as you normally do- and presto! An instant Laser-Dot verification of your golf balls “precise” putted location/trajectory. That’s right! This means no more “ball chasing”, or dinged-up walls/furniture (or the Dog/Cat chasing your putts). This is because the Laser-Dot travels - Not the Golf Ball. Simply reset and putt again!… and again!
The LASERBALL comes with colored, free-standing targets. Simply place the targets at any desired distance/location from each other - and putt away! How accurate is it? When testing the LASERBALL with a “mechanical-putting-machine”, the representative Laser-Dot does not deviate more than 2” inches for a 100’ foot putt from the “intention” of the “mechanical-putting-machine” ( or, ½ inch @25 feet). So! If you really want to know just how accurate YOU are? Then the LASERBALL is your ticket!
Why is the accuracy of the LASERBALL so valuable? Why do golfers need to know their “true putting accuracy“? Answer: Reading the greens for Undulations, Speeds, Obstructions, etc, is an entirely separate and secondary skill from “pure linear putting accuracy”. I.e., all golfer’s must master this “prerequisite accuracy” (control) in order to get the golf ball where YOU want it to go(point-A), before the ground messes it up. Therefore, just as a “sharpshooter” cannot evaluate his “pure linear shooting accuracy” (ability) on a moving truck, or in high-winds. Neither can a golfer scrutinize his/her putting accuracy on “faulty-grounds”, or on the Moon.
DEDUCTION WATSON! :
Therefore, by removing the “ground’s effect” upon the golf ball during putting practice. The golfer is then able (perhaps for the first time) to “see” what has otherwise been “obscured, or hidden” by the ground (how well you really putt). Finally, the AGE OLD question can be answered: “Is it my putting that SUCKS?” or “ Is it the ground (and/or my ability to read it) that SUCKS?” Simple deduction.
The LASERBALL also doubles as an “addictive” multi-player GOLF GAME! (putter-grabbing! and disputes! Not included). Such games as OUT and AROUND-THE-WORLD (adapted from popular basketball games) are two favorites.
There are many other Feature & Benefits. There are several versions: Left & Right-handed ready. And L/R-handed Quick-adjustable (smaller, but with greater room for addressing the golf ball).

No, it's NOT SPAM! It's an opportunity from a fellow golfer and private inventor (my other hobby).
On topic:
Tiger rules - plain and simple. If it were not for "TIGER", golf (as we currently speak of it) would not have quite the same appeal...both as a sport in general, and a pastime in particular..
I wasnt' giddy at Tiger losing. I was very unhappy. I'd like to see him dominate every week. I want him to win because of his dedication to the game and to being the best. (And to giving back to golf and the world.) And because he can be, easily, the best golfer to watch.
Jack won 18, finished second 19 times. Tiger has won 12, finished second 3 times. This one, though, was the worst.
While I am a HUGE fan of Tiger, I thought it was really something that this young guy from Iowa was able to win, what I think will be labeled as, the hardest tournament of the year. Augusta adding yardage and a number of trees tested every players ability to hit specific shots when called for. The fact that Zach only hits the ball around 270 proves that distance isn't everything. Other people act like Tiger just 'lost' this tournament. Since when is 2nd place losing. Not many people are making a big deal out of Vi'gay' or Phil posting high scores. I think we all should realize that Tiger can't have a perfect game or perfect swing 365 days a year. Kinks in a swing come around and Tiger along with everyone else needs to try their best to play around them, whatever conditions they are in.
Yeah, you're right. Had Tiger not missed the birdie putt on 16, he would only have been one back. And if he hadn't landed his approach on the beach on 17, he would have pulled even. Of course, he could have just holed out his sand shot there... Then, on 18, if he holed out his approach, or a least hit it stiff he would have won, or at least taken it into a playoff which he of course would have won, if...
But wait, if Zack Johnson hadn't missed those 2 easy putts a couple of days before...
Yeah, Tiger's great. A veritable God of Golf. But guess what? He didn't win. So I guess he lost. Boo hoo.
By the way, since Tiger DID lead at one point in the 4th round, he certainly did lead AFTER 54 holes. Semantics counts for something, after all.
Hey Tiger lovers
Get a life !!! Stop kissing up and wake up. Golf is what it is because of: Mr. Palmer , not a self named feline that is so self loving that he has no time for anyone but himself. Golf is played by people, most of them HUMBLE, sort of like Mr. Johnson; he quietly BEAT Mr. Woods at a " GAME " In doing so, he did it with ' CLASS '
AND WITH VERY GOOD MANAGEMENT SKILLS. Mr. Woods has talent, no doubt about it, but does he really think he is above everyone ???
The thing that I think all of you are overlooking is that Tiger took bogey on 17 and 18 on Thur. and Sat. He was not having what we would call his control of his "A" Game, yet he finished second on what could be the hardest set-up of the year...He could have walked away from this Tournament with a 5 or 6 shot victory if he was firing on all cylinders...
Yeah, he COULD'VE... and I could've won the lottery last week. So much for possibilities.
All this talk about Tiger's A, B, and C game is a bunch of crap. Tiger came in and played what he could play-- it wasn't good enough. He had NO game better or worse at that time than what he showed us. Maybe it wasn't his best, but that's all he had. I could say that this Masters could've belonged to Nicklaus if HE had brought HIS A game. But golf isn't about what you CAN do. It's about what you do. And this time, Tiger didn't get it done. Move on. This one's over and better luck next time.
Whoever just posted that Arnold Palmer is the reason for golf's popularity, you are sadly mistaken. Arnold helped popularity along through the 60s and 70s, maybe into the 80s, but by then Jack had taken over. And Tiger has taken the game far beyond the level Jack or Arnie ever did in their time. Secondly, if I remember correctly, around December we were all posting about whether or not this guy would ever lose again. Remember when he won 7 in a row? Has anyone in the modern era ever come close to this? As a player, he's won 50 some tournaments, 12 majors - all before the age of 32. It's absurd to think anyone has had as much effect as quickly as tiger has as a player. Beyond that he is the most recognized athelete in the world. Zack Johnson - are you kidding me? Who knows this guy outside of the golfing world? The guy won the masters, great for him, good luck to him. That's it. Tiger is the greatest golfer on the planet, and because of a few loose shots didn't win the masters. if Zack Johnson had bogeyed a few holes down the stretch we'd all be talking about how much of an effect tiger has on the other guys, and that his presence is felt all over the course. Think about the broad picture here - with tiger woods we are watching the greatest golfer of all time, and we need to appreciate that.

Here is one...especially for the mainstream media...one I bet even Tiger would endorse...
