Valspar Discussion Thread

[lowheel]

Anyone else feel like they just got done watching a major?

 

I was thinking that during the round. I always liked the Valspar. It's a real test of golf, not one of those bomb and gouge -24 snooze fests.

 

Honda and Riviera were the same. Old school courses that take driver out of your hands will do that to you.

[lowheel]

I wonder if the Bay Hill thread will be as long. :-)

 

It might be this long before the first ball is hit.

 

Sadly true...

 

Why is that sad?

 

Back in the day, Arnold Palmer was the man, had throngs of fans.

 

TW is nothing more and nothing less than Arnie 2.0 in terms of his appeal to get people excited about golf.

 

Its a "good* thing.

 

Well it is because 90 % of the posts are from the same 20 people analyzing his daily bowel movements so in my opinion its not great. I appreciate you bring in some levity and your 20 posts of tiger woods 2005 masters putt jpeg but a little overboard in my opinion.

[lowheel]

I’m really happy for Paul Casey. That’s a guy that’s been knocking on the door for a while for a win. He played about as well as you can play. 21 putts is crazy.

 

Tiger just didn’t give himself any makeable putts. He said he was in between clubs most of the day and I can believe that. He played safer shots. All in all, he played better than many thought he would. While there is no guarantee of performance going forward, you have to like how he’s trending. A tournament he’s never played and puts out a T2 with Captain America.

 

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised Connors folded today. Still he played great. He showed some skill out there.

 

He played pretty scared on 7-8 holes including the 18th. The rain took the fire out of the fairways and his stingers were leaving him 20-30 yards more than yesterday. these a courses are built for tiger because it takes driver out of his hands and forces him to play for position. he'll always be a factor at those if his iron game is even at 80%. he looked very tired on the back though.it might be just me

So glad you conditionally approve.

 

You could always start your very own message board.

Great 4 days of golf. Tiger didn’t need to win this week, that would have almost been to much to soon. He competed for 72 holes and almost won. Next week at Bay Hill he has a real chance. From what I remember, Torrey Pines, Bay Hill and Muirfield Village are his 3 winningest courses. He also totally boosted attendance which would have been lackluster for the weekend with Rory and Jordan missing the cut. Tournament was great, galleries were great and Tiger was great. Also hats off to Paul Casey for getting it done. You could tell that meant a lot to him. This has been a great Last few weeks. If Tiger competes like this at Augusta he will give the world a thrill second to none.

[BreakingPar]

Big props to Paul Casey, he definitely played the best golf today (can't believe he was at twice the number of days winless that Tiger's at)

 

Good thing he won too, might've just spared Tiger a drubbing at the hands of Cap in a playoff.

Anyone else feel like they just got done watching a major?

 

no doubt im exhausted. Not sure if its from the golf drama or being on this thread all day trying to keep up

[Mikey5e]

Tiger was really impressive this weekend, I have to admit he performed a little better than I gave him credit. If he stays healthy, like Jack said, he will be someone to take seriously. Also, with as well as Phil has been playing, it would have been nice to see him playing in this tournament to see how he would do. Do we have a Tiger / Phil Showdown coming up soon?

He had to determine being in the fairway was better than trying to bomb something out there with a sketchy driver. If he was able to put something out there 300 yards, you’re going in with a 9 or pitch, not a 7. Irons weren’t quite as sharp, but from where he was 3 weeks ago, it’s remarkable.

[callawayjay]

Stupid pins cost Tiger. Had every flag been middle of green he wins easily.

 

Are u for real? It’s Sunday.

[CheckJV]

Rory tied for 5th and I did not even know he was playing in the tournament, never saw him hit a shot.

Agreed. His influence on the game really isn’t debatable. In this case, Tampa and Valspar are among the winners here.

[Break81]

which Rory ? Sabotini?

"Sadly true"? How is it sad if you're posting more than anyone else in this thread. And you'll post more than anyone in the Bay Hill thread.

 

Yes, we know. You're a fan of golf. Not just a Tiger fan. But once again, you're invovled in every Tiger discussion.

I wasnt suggesting he hit driver on 18 but at least a 3 wood because the fairways were wet from yesterdays rain

[C Bird]

I guess I'll be the guy to be critical of Tiger. Thought he was too conservative. I believe he was playing well enough to win. Having said that, what a time to be a golf fan.

[MK7Golf21]

Pretty sure tiger will be playing in the Ryder cup

I already answered that. I can feel you seething through the computer screen at me. I post everywhere and also FYI this isnt a tiger thread ( although as usual it became one :) ) but if 70% of threads always devolve into tiger threads its pretty tiresome.Of course he contended some of it is earned but some borders on ridiculous. Its cool man, you do you and feel free to ignore my posts if they upset you so much. take care

My goodness, I think you're serious!

 

Lol was being sarcastic.

I feel like Valspar, Mexico, and Riviera have given us fantastic tournaments this year. Keep it coming!

He missed many makeable putts, they just werent dropping

[crazy8golfer]

Of course you didn't see him hit a shot, it was the Tiger golf show. NBC was pulling for Tiger so bad it was sickening.

[lowheel]

Paul Caseys last 3 masters finishes: T6 - 4 - 6

 

Does this give him the confidence to finish one off and get his first major? would be a great story!

I think he hit his last drive a bit fat, leaving 185 instead of 160-165

[mukster]

So Tiger played as least as well as Reed this tournament . ;)

 

Every time I saw them on TV, I couldn’t help but think of this.

Eh, he hit it 257. Think it was just his strategy and he stuck with it in spite of the circumstances.

[crazy8golfer]

Hard not to cheer for Tiger.

I had no problem not cheering for him! Have not cheered for him 25 years, why start now?
