There are a lot of analysists and commentators who say Tiger is a throwback to the past in the way he shapes shots. Personally, I think it's one of the highest compliments they pay him. So many of the stars today only shape the shot one way and are hard pressed to go the other way when they need to... (Wish I was so untalented!)

In a conversation with a friend, he speculated Tiger wouldn't last into old age, (his late 40's), because as age accumulated the stress and strain on the bones and muscles, the finesse needed to shape shots should deteriorate. I disagreed, saying Tiger is one of the most intelligent people in recent years to play the game. When his current skill level starts to deteriorate, I bet he recognizes it and makes adaptations to accomodate what he can still do at that point.

If Tiger in his old age becomes one of those who can only go one way, but it let's him keep winning, I think he will still be one of the most fun players to watch.

Hey Sir DennisM,

Same as you, I have a couple of books and his movie, entitled "Stroke of Genius" or something like that.

I was just amazed at how he learned to play Golf when he was a young boy just by watching an adult Golfer play Golf. No Golf Pro lessons for him, and yet he became a Legend :-)

Natalie Gulbis.........you know why

Aw, c'mon Chivas.... tell us you really appreciate something about her other than her face... her body... her smile... There's a rumor going around that the girl can play golf, but I don't know whether anyone has ever noticed that part of it...

I really wanted to know who we like for other reasons... C'mon folks, is there so little idol worship or poetry left in us?
