Tiger Shoots a 61 at Bridgestone.....What Can You Compare That To?

Yesterday Tiger shot a 61 in the  2nd round of the Bridgestone  to pull away from the field with a 7 shot lead. As he  reached the tee on the 15th hole he was flirting with the lowest score(59) ever recorded In a PGA  Event. It is noteworthy that  his  score  tied his lowest PGA  score ever.
   So to to put things in perspective, what can we  equate shooting a 61 in golf  in a PGA Event  to  accomplishments  in other major  sports? For  instance is it comparable  to scoring 60 points in an NBA game?  Or a quarterback  passing for 500 yards in an NFL game?  A  baseball player  hitting 4 home runs in a game A hockey  player scoring   5 goals in a game ? The comparisons can go on and on.
   All I  can tell you is for one day , Tiger was Tiger! Let's see if  he can keep the momentum rolling.
   Wow!

I Don't Know About You, But I Was Happy to See Tiger Woods Win a Tournament in Dramatic Fashion Yesterday!

Let me ask you a question, did you like, admire and respect Tiger Woods BEFORE his personal and professional lives went into a freefall 2 years ago? Most people did. Most sports fans did. Most sponsors did. Apparently, many woman did too!
Tiger Woods , like many a megastar could not resist the temptations out there , got caught(maybe he wanted to) and pretty much destroyed his family , his reputation and his golf game. He made the same mistake that millions make every year worldwide. And you know what, he has paid for it in more ways than one . The great one took two long years to get his personal life together and basically started over professionally from "soup to nuts ".
So Sunday when he birdied the 17th and 18th holes to win his own tournament in dramatic fashion, it was like happy days are here again . I was very happy for the man , who has earned the title " one of the greatest golfers ever"!
We can only hope that he's back and can give us another major championship, or maybe two, three or four.. Watch out Jack!

Tiger Woods...It's Comeback Time!

America is the "land of comebacks"! Let enough time pass, keep your nose clean and stick to something you do well...And aha ! You have a comeback in the making . Marv Albert did it, Former President Bill Clinton did it, Michael Milliken did it and to a lesser extent Elliot Spitzer did it. Well, now it's Tiger's turn.
Two years have passed since that bizarre Thanksgiving weekend in 2009 . Almost every major sponsor dropped him. Costly divorce . Public humiliation. Fired his long-time caddie. Sexual counseling. Family broken up and for the first time in many, many years he fell outside the top 50 golfers in the world.(I did neglect to mention he's still worth over $100 million, has the second most major titles in golf history and has a "black book " that most guys would kill for).
So how does the comeback play out? Well his game is slowly , but surely improving . He recently helped the U.S. win the Presidential Cup . In today's New York Times it was reported that he signed sponsorship deals with Rolex and a sports nutrition company(He took a stock position).
Well, what more? He has to continue to practice, play, work out and live clean. Most importantly, he must realize and accept that this will probably be his last legitimate run at winning more major titles. Come January he wins a tournament . Another in February and a third in March.
The storybook comeback then climaxes with a victory at the Masters in April. The sponsors line up to bring him on board . He's on the cover of every major newspaper and magazine in America
......................and appears on Letterman . Ah, on top(I heard he likes it that way) again. But remember, he has to do one little thing to make it all work.....Win, win, win!
