Implosion

.

You can add me to your list too CD. Compared to how I am capable of playing golf, the start that Tiger got today is awesome!

I saw the word Implosion and assumed this was about StoneyBrook.

No matter how you look at it, Stony Brook has already won imho so it would be unfair to apply that term to them. After Friday, they were calling Tiger the favorite.

I remember way back when in the early days of John Smoltz's days with the Braves that he was struggling mightily on the mound.

He talked to someone professionally and it surely turned him around.

Maybe Tiger needs to give ole Smoltzie a call!

Tiger's problem is in his head...mental block playing and he still thinks he's the smartest guy in golf. Until he gets over that, he's done.

If this golf deal doesn't work out for Tiger I could see him working for this outfit. Thanks to his his ex-wife and her expertise in wielding a club he ought to get the swing of this new job quickly.

Go Webb!

I'm not sure it's time to write off Tiger yet. While Memorial isn't a major it's a significant tournament. Woods has won twice this year. he's still getting it in gear.

On another note, I heard a player refer to religion in what I felt was a very proper way. Many people don't want to hear "Thanks to Jesus Christ my Savior" when athletes win. They don't believe God picks winners and losers.

Webb Simpson said he prayed a lot on the last three holes and it kept him going. He framed it properly. His faith gave him strength to compete.

What was also interesting was how composed Simpson remained when he won. It must have been hard to sit and watch Furyk and McDowell fail knowing they had to fail for him to win. I don't believe professional golfers hope for others to fail. They would rather win on the green.

The womanizing must be the secret ingredient to his success.

Not at all. He thought he was bullet proof and he found out he wasn't...his personal life has effected his professional life, happens all the time. He sees reminders he isn't bullet proof all the time. He's a different golfer now...he plays much like everyone else. Before he always knew he would win, so did the other guys. That wasn't the case, but it was mentally. Now he's no longer feared, he knows he's just another golfer. Now he doesn't know if he can win, he doesn't know when the wheels will fall off. Confidence and visualizing success is more important in golf than any other sport, in my opinion, because it's less physical. He may or may not win another major or two, just like everyother golfer out there.

I can only imagine it's tough to get a harrowing image like this out of your head!
