    Saw this in the paper this morning and then again on the net. Not that I care that much about Tiger but I found it interesting because I experienced something similar this year.

    http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15100&select=15058

    04 was my own year of the swing change and at some point I felt some degree of "oh, I see". It's not that I suddenly stopped hitting bad shots, but I have been more able to understand the bad ones and feel why the good ones are good.

    Is that how it works for you guys? :miz:
     
    BS he will stand up on the 1st tee at sherwood and hit 1 60 yrds off target he will have a great 05 but he has said he has said in every interview after every round im nearly there maybe he is but I don't believe it untill I see it.
     
    That's not BS at all. He did it in the past, he can still do it again. That's what I call knowing how to be in the zone. Difficult to attain, but the better one knows one's swing, the more good shots one can do.
     
    Epiphanies never happen to me...

    I am always slogging through life - learning like a turtle.

    My last swing change took six months to put in.
     
    I am going through a swing change at the minute I have been working on my ggrip and less body movement for a while now it will hopefully only take me a couple of months.

    Tiger will win this week I have changed my mind the swing changes might actually be true with a player of that class he wouldn't lie he would make a fool of himself.

    I wolud also justy like to quote on a comment classic just made on GR something about not beieng the master because he doesn't shoot in the 80's. I would liek to just tell him at least I had the balls to make a 2 hour journey to play a person ive never met on a course that is difficult I had never player shot +12 in terrible conditions without a warm up so screw you I would kick your hacking ass any day you consider your self a good player I will play you on a real golf course in real conditions and kick your ass.

    These comments are identical to the ones you made before you played IG....

    Is there an echo in here?
     
    There's 1 difference IG is a good player classic is your typical 9 handicapper or something like that who couldn't hit it out of his own street. I don't think he should be insulting someone who has played the game for 2 and 1/2 years shot a 69 broke 80 within 7 months of playing the game he has never saw me play I hate people who don't know that critizie.

    Six months seems reasonable when you look at the time Tiger has been working on his.

    That's what I meant when I mentioned my own moment. I had been working on a change most of the year and then I finally felt what I think it was suppose to feel like, (did that make sense). I still expect months of practice before it's permanent.

    If anyone gets the turtle award I think it should be me. I'll be 51 in February and maybe I'm beginning to understand the golf swing. Oh yeah, I'm the turtle. :miz:

    Hey we're the same age...I am 50 in January.

    We grew up in a crazy time.
     
    I made a grip change when I was 17. My game never really came around til I was about 20. I didn't see it at the time, but it sure has made me a more sound player - most of the time.

    Swing changes are hard to adapt to. As much of a Tiger fan I am not, but that's not to say that he's not a good golfer. He's just human.

    And his wife is hot.

    Well, looks like the feline is back....
    :p
     
    Yep, give up on the driver and you win.

    Please see all of my posts on GR about Eldricks decline and you'll see this as a reoccurring theme.

    Drop the big dog, he'll win.

    I now rest my case. Back to back with hardly any big stick drives.

    I was doing a picture in picture with football on Sunday but what from what I saw Tiger seemed to have his confidence back, and as we all know that's 90% of it.

    Leaving the driver in bag is not a bad idea either. Impressive to me that last week he annouces, I get it, and then he goes out and wins. I'll bet he wishes the season was starting this week.
