The return of Tiger (Again!)

[TheTrueReview]

Golfer J.B. Holmes ices his competition and enrages fans with four-minute shot

JB Holmes took over four minutes to hit his 2nd shot on the 72nd hole. After all that thought, what did he do? He friggin laid up! He was paired with Alex Noren who had to sit there tied for the lead and deal with all that.

JB Holmes is from that small notorious list of slow golfers. His shot decision making time and practice swings have always been interminable. In fact, most times the networks won’t show his full swing routine during coverage. Holmes is a repeat offender.

Ben Crane is on that list also.

You (and anyone) can be upset with him, that's fine. However, it is absolutely 100% gamesmanship.

For the record, I am not upset at him.

He'll sleep better now.

One of the masters of "gamesmanship" was Seve. It was common for Seve to "accidently" jingle change in his pocket or to "accidently" drop a club while someone was getting ready to hit. He was called out more than once for his antics. Yet, everything was so close to that invisible line and he seemed to know just how far he could push it. Tiger, during his prime, was one that demanded complete silence while he was hitting. So many of today's weekend hackers do believe they require that same complete silence. (Boy! They wouldn't last 5 minutes in our group!!) If Holmes action was gamesmanship, he played it well. I don't believe it was.

He has always been a turtle

I thought I had read somewhere that his dad used to make a ruckus in his backswing so that he wouldn't need complete silence? If he did, it didn't work worth a shit.

Tiger Woods makes it clear to his competitors that there won't be much chit-chatting during "winning time"

ohhhh.... kaaaayyyyyyyy........

So Glad to see him back! Looking forward to watch non stop tiger coverage while he is T23. Golf is worth watching again!

I don't get it.

Who the f calls it "winning time"?

 

[eclark53520]

People that win?

Tied for 72nd place after the first round... quietly focused on his "winning time".
