What do you guys think of the shot clock that was used in the European tourney this week? I wish it existed on public courses, that's for sure.

People forget that during the first half of their careers Norman and Mickelsen played just like that nobody you referred to.Some nobody collapsing on Sunday playing against a superstar is almost as expected as Nadal curbstomping everyone at the French Open boring sunday

Fowler is very romantic. "Well, nothing against the area," Fowler began after being asked by a local reporter about the significance of the proposal's location. "It wasn't necessarily -- there was nothing planned out. I just really didn't want to carry the ring around any longer." Rickie Fowler shares his simple reason for getting engaged the week before the U.S. Open
Nice post and agreed. The mental side of sports is underrated. The Lakers didn't beat the Celtics in the Finals until 1985. The Lakers had great, talented players, but they were never as mentally tough as the Celtics until 1985.I'm not surprised at all. I think as casual golf fans it is easy to underestimate the mental demands of the sport. Especially regarding being a young player and leading a tour event with big name players chasing. It can be so mentally taxing, and it must be so easy to lose confidence when things don't go your way.
I actually got Tiger's book the 1997 Masters last night at the library. Read almost the entire thing already. It's impressive how much he focuses on the mental side of his game, especially talking about how he prepared for majors and all the attention he faced back then. His drills with Earl as a kid sound brutal, but it is clear it helped build him into what he is/was.
He says that after winning the Master's in 97 by 12 strokes, within a few days he was thinking of the swing changes he wanted to make with Butch. Which is crazy in perspective, but it goes to show how insanely competitive he was. He justifies this by saying that he never cared for trophies and winning, just was obsessed with seeing how good he could become because he knew that everything else would take care of itself.
Golf does everything in their power to make itself boring. Finally you see someone with some character in Phil and all the talk today is he should be ashamed and suspended etc...Why isn’t golf very popular in Canada?
