Tiger had a very cultivated image, one that drew sponsors to him in droves, putting more money in his pockets than any other sports figure in the whole damn world. But then he got drawn into a world inhabited mostly by retired NBA players, who set up court in the high-roller gambling salons of Las Vegas. Do you think Nike, not to mention other sponsors, wanted to be associated with that image? Not to mention the fucking around on his mother of two children, including a baby. He literally drove late at night to the restaurant where a certain waitress or hostess worked and they would screw in the car in the parking lot or drive to a park. Iirc, she's the one who made the flight to Australia. The Enquirer staked out the place and took pictures. Colorful conduct like that from a practicing Buddhist deserves colorful language!

Oh I agree, his story is a bizarre one, and the Perkins waitress is especially funny. Your heavy handed take is still hilarious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Did anyone make the same mistake as I did and tune in for the rebroadcast? I though the round was going to take place in the afternoon and not the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I came home I turned on the tv only to see Tiger sitting in the bungalow with the amateur winner and Patrick Reed, waiting for the jacket ceremony.

I turned it on when I figured the leaders would be on the back nine. And they were, in a sense. I think I watched Tiger play a few holes, say up until the 14th, then they cut away and show Tiger wearing his jacket. It was a serious WTF moment.

Fragile Bird Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hey there, boys and girls, why have we not been talking about The Open? Shane Lowry has had an amazing three days, shooting the lowest three rounds in Open history and missing by centimeters shooting a 62 today. Brandon Grace did it in an Open a couple of years ago but he wasn't leading. Man oh man I hope Shane keeps it together and wins tomorrow! When I was at Titancon one year we drove past the golf course on our way back from the bus tour, and they were already excited about the Open being there this year.

Jeor Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I hope Lowry wins it as well. I don't know that much about him, except that he smiles a lot and gives me the impression he's a friendly guy. The crowd didn't get McIlroy but they might get another Irishman instead. He just needs one more solid round and he should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Windy links golf separates the men from the boys. Holmes -10 to 6 over in one round, he will not want to be back in Ireland for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 McIlroy quadruple bogeying his first hole of the championship after all the build up was pretty funny. I suppose it's good that a, relatively, local guy will win it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking at the scores, image that, Holmes was tied with him after the second round and he's 16 over today. Lowry's +1 was a great score, especially when only Tony Finau had a lower score at E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The weather was pretty savage. Lowry's win has to be considered well and truly earned, especially as he was still out on the course later on when some of that weather was doing truly awful stuff, I'm amazed the greens kept playing after some of that torrential rain. It was one of those days when you really didn't want to be in the last pair - the further the day went on the more everyone's scores started going backwards.

lmanion Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That's a great win those conditions, I was really hoping he would win it. Very disappointed with the Aussies apart from Cam Smith. Adam Scott was absolutely nowhere had a worse round 1 than both Rory and Tiger and Jason Day went from in contention to missed cut in 5 holes. JB Holmes had a huge blow out in the last round but quite a few others were shooting high 70s, Speith, Sergio, Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan La Cabra Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Really nice to see an Irishman win the first Open held at Royal Portrush since 1951. The only disappointment was that it wasn't a closer run battle for the trophy, but a huge amount of credit has to go to Lowry for not letting anyone have the chance to get close to him, despite the tough scoring conditions yesterday.
