Valspar Discussion Thread

That's his swing analyser

 

Is that a euphemism for swing coach? Or is he just a Trackman guy?

[BlackDiamondPar5]

Trevor Immelman talking about the other players view of Tigers dominance back in the day and how demoralized the other players were about ever being able to beat him or be number one. I always enjoy when people argue that it's been exaggerated because it was 100% true.

True, but I don't think anyone is afraid of Tiger now. He's got a lot of ground to recover to get there. I doubt at 40something at his best that he can be more than than a contender not a dominant intimidator.

 

"I remember being unbelievably nervous on that shot and for the most of the shots I hit in the round," Spieth said. "… (I thought), man, this must have been what it's been like for the last 20 years for guys."

Spieth said this Wednesday at Innisbrook: "I'll feel probably more nervous on the first tee tomorrow than I do on the first tee normally just given the setting."

 

Explains why he chocked playing this week with Tiger. LOL

 

Why’d you have to go and mess up his narrative with facts?

Oy vey! Spieth hasn't exactly been lighting it up as of late. It's wishful thinking of the irrational Tiger fanboys as to relate Spieths missed cut with Tigers alleged intimidation factor. Perhaps the obnoxious Tiger gallery is a factor, but not Tiger himself.

Tiger Woods does not need a coach. He is learning to play the game again using his own feels. Coach cant teach you how to play by feel if anything he will be teaching whoever is observing him what he is doing.

Keep that narrative going!

He girl, I only posted what Spieth said about being nervous playing with Woods. He backed it up with his chocking. I hope you managed to have a good nights sleep yesterday :)

[redfirebird08]

Very good round of -5 for Adam Scott.

Of course I will. But lets not let that get in the way with the far reaching inference that the reason Spieth missed the cut is because of Tiger's intimidation factor. Spieth recently missed another cut and hasn't exactly been lighting it up as of late-- but lets not let those facts get in the way.

Birdiefest so far. Was hoping for tougher conditions.

Any of the front leaders who shots level par or worse is as good as out of the running. .

[hondaloyal]

Just got back from grocery and bra shopping with the wife. Now time to enjoy my Saturday and see

 

1) How this Woods guy does

2) See if Connors can keep that relaxed looking tempo

3) If the weather stays tolerable; it is not looking that blue and bright as I start watching coverage

[jmck]

Very good round of -5 for Adam Scott.

 

Nice to see him playing well. Great guy and I could watch that swing allllllll day.

[hondaloyal]

Very good round of -5 for Adam Scott.

 

finally! Hopefully we can see that swing more often tomorrow.

 

That was his 52nd career bogey-free round according to the statisticians. It would be awesome to see him paired with Louis, a delightful pairing of gorgeous swings.

[Sean2]

Props to Sam Burns. Receives a sponsors exemption to the Honda, finishes high enough to qualify for the Valspar, and is playing well. Currently -4.

[Sean2]

Past performance isn't necessarily indicative of future performance, but TW has been in the top two 68 times and won 44.

 

65% win rate.

[redfirebird08]

Tiger's first tee yips are the most bizarre thing in golf.

[legitimategolf]

Not concerned about that opening pull. Tiger has a long history of yanking the first drive way left, even in his prime.

[Jackhammer993]

Tiger always pull left on first hole when in contention. Not a good start.

[Ignatius Reilly]

Yikes, plays 3W on the first and still misses the fairway by a lot.

 

Prolly intimidated by Sneds.....

[Golfnutgalen]

Pretty much the same shot Tiger hit on his first hole (the 10th) yesterday.

[Jackhammer993]

This is going to be wild. This gallery is off the hook. Watch for something crazy to happen.

[Marco]

Swing was good there, just a bit fast tempo.

And all the idiots are hooting and hollering like it went in the cup. Here we go.

[bscinstnct]

Ok, too stressful, gonna go run in the park after this putt. Maybe see if the chipmunks ate the bread I stuck in their nest last week ; )

 

Tigerrrrr!

 

Be at -6 when I back!

 

 

[WidespreadPanic]

There should be a tally for how many times Maltby misreads a putt. If he was playing he wouldn't have made a putt in a month.

[redfirebird08]

Great start for Conners.

He’s getting old and stubborn, won’t upgrade his glass prescription.

Nuts in the shells and veggies. (not peanuts) No bread. :nea:

[redfirebird08]

Tiger is completely out of sorts. Can't even hit a fairway with iron off the tee. Geez.

[jmck]

A+ work here. Easily the best post in the thread. Lol, very well played!

[Medic]

Agreed. Doesn't seem dialed in - yet.

 

Still early. And that shot he just hit out of that nasty rough was solid.

 

Don't know if they have mentioned it but it is windy here. I played this morning and the wind was out of the SE at about 20. Pretty sure it's about the same at Copperhead. (about 30 miles away from me)
