Hopefully he comes away from this ok.
He was supposedly waiting for results of a MRI this past week so he can start practicing more. He is in surgery for whatever injuries. Think he should retire now.

His agent released a statement saying he suffered multiple leg injuries.

Yikes, I just heard about this 15 min ago. Really hope the surgery goes well and his quality of life doesn't diminish after he heals up and goes through rehab.
2 years ago I got into a rollover accident and it was terrifying for me and my wife...and our worst injuries were only lingering effects from concussions. |

I was just at the range and came back to my computer to the news. I hope he's going to be OK.
Worth millions yet how does he not have a designated driver when he's on meds? UGH! Figured out some of the issue with my shanking. Just not bending enough at the waist. Gonna work on it a LOT this week and next and play a few execs to try and get my swing back for the Spring and Summer. Weather is pretty much Spring today, just need those longer days. |

I can't help but wonder if the documentary threw him back into a funk.

I was wondering the same thing. It was more of a sleazy tabloid sent to documentary and I wasn't a fan but one would think he would have thought more about driving under the influence after the documentary.

Meh, he lived his life like a sleazy drama for many years, so it's not surprising that the documentary feels a little sleazy.

Yeah, seems pretty clear to me that he was hauling ass to get to the filming that morning.

I don't see any scenario where he plays on the Champions Tour (even before this accident)
Now Phil is different...he just wants ALL of the money (like taking huge appearance fees to go to Saudi instead of playing in the Phoenix tournament where he's beloved. Here's a super well-informed opinion piece on Tiger's injuries that were made public |

I dated a girl in high school who was diabetic, she had an episode behind the wheel, and suffered a similar injury to her right leg.
She never got back to 100% after all the rehab and she was 30 years younger than Tiger when it happened. |

Based on the press release, golf in any sort of paid-to-perform capacity is likely a remote possibility. The good news is he should still be flush.
Hope he gets on the mend sooner vs later and I am wrong. |

Getting my swing back and had a nice range session today. I just needed more forward bend at the waist and everything improved dramatically once I got that going. The Ping G410 irons I got late last year feel super good now that I figured out what I was doing wrong. I am fired up to play an exec tomorrow and booked full 18 at Encinitas Ranch for next weekend with my brothers and cousin.

I've played a bunch of rounds at my local 6-hole Par 3 course lately. It is pretty obvious my scores depend on my putting stats. These are the last 10 rounds (some not full 6 holes) and you can see when I'm +1 for the round, my putting handicap skyrockets.
I know it is obvious putting is hugely important, but naturally I find myself ignoring it when I practice. Last edited by Draken; 02-27-2021 at 01:14 PM. |

Sorry, this is long (TWSS)
I did a fitting. Ended up just going to Dicks for $50 since I had heard good things about the fitter guys at the bigger one near me. Hit a bunch of GI irons, mostly the new TM Sim2 and the Cobra SpeedZones (now called RADspeeds). It looks like I could benefit a -1 lie angle, and regular flex graphite shafts are the way to go in whatever I get - UST Recoil ESX 460 being the front runner. I told the guy I likely wasn't buying from them because I can get much more for my trade-ins through GlobalGolf, and he was nice enough to let me apply my club fitting fee towards the purchase of a used PING 410 3H. It's 19* and has loft and lie adjustablity. Pretty cool of him. I got plenty of club data and a bargain on a 3H I hit really well. So at that point I had enough data to make a decision. GI irons with minimal/moderate offset, R flex graphite shafts and maybe -1 flat lie. Because I could not decide on which set I prefered I then I started looking at the UTry options on GlobalGolf. For $50 they will send you a set of clubs for 14 days to try. If you like them, you buy them and you still have the 30 day playability guarantee. If you dont like them you send them back. Done. $50 includes the shipping back and forth and if you buy they apply the fee to the purchase. SWEET! But a -1 lie wasn't an option on a trial set, so I talked to my former golf pro buddy who said that if I buy a trial set he can adjust the lie no problem (if necessary). So I ended up choosing to UTry a set of Cobra SpeedZones 4-PW+GW of the with R flex Recoil ESX 460 shafts. They should be here Thursday, perhaps tomorrow. I really don't need or want the 4i but it came with that by default. I am hoping maybe I can send that back if I keep them. If I can't I suppose I can de-loft the adjustable 3H to 18 or 17.5* since the 4i is 19*. While I have the trial set I plan to play a couple of rounds this weekend and next week go to a TopTracer bay and look at how they work with my former pro buddy. My club pro has said he may be able to do this too at the range, but they are going to be swamped next week with the weather getting nicer. So yeah, I may or may not be getting new clubs, but definitely will have a set for a couple of weeks minimum. |

I wouldn't worry too much about the actual lofts of your 3h vs 4i. The longer shaft and design of the hybrid will make it fly a good bit further than an iron of the same loft.

This is correct. As an example, my 4i is sitting at 20.5*. I also carry a hybrid which is set to 21*. My 4i is a 215-220 club and my hybrid is a 235-245 club.

Ah I actually didn't know that. Makes sense. I always assumed hybrid irons were a 1:1 type thing to regular irons, just easier to hit. Cool.
These clubs better get here by Thursday. I am playing Fri-Sun this weekend. |
