hey Gosooners, have you played golf at winstar yet? i've heard its a pretty good course and fairly priced. I'm about an hour away in ft. worth, just wondering if its worth the drive?
No, I've been wanting to hit the casino down there to see what it's like. I didn't know they had a golf course too. Next time I go down to Lake Texhoma to the cabin I might drop by there and see if I can play a round.

The casino is alright. Its alot nicer now than it was a couple of years ago. They have a pretty nice hotel there now as well, instead of that motel they used to house guest at. You have to pay .50 cents on every hand of blackjack they deal you, thats my biggest complaint.

I also hate that .50 vig on every hand. They do the same thing in all of the casinos in the city area where I live. But they must be doing something right to get the good music acts they have at Winstar. If it wasn't for the three hour drive, I would have hit that place by now.

Def on the short list. Look, they can put whoever they want at #1 in the world every week with their computers. Bottom line is tiger is the best golfer in the world, and Phil and Westwood are tied for 2nd.
Their isn't the big gap anymore, but those are the best golfers in the world.

Also since Yall are Phil fans, I dnt know if Yall like randel chamblee or not, but I respect what he says. After the masters, he said he thinks phils arthritis or whatever it is, is worse than people realize. He says they constantly have to change his meds etc....if that's true, I do feel bad for mickelson

Not sure anyone can claim #1 at the moment ! Pretty much up for grabs

This latest injury is going to cause Tiger to be out of commission for a few more weeks. Which means when he gets back on his feet again, he'll really have to hump it to get ready for the US Open. Seems like in his 30's he's had more injury setbacks than anything else. This could end up being his biggest downfall in trying to break Nicklaus record.

tiger isnt playing the best golf of everyone right now, but redeyes comment about taking 20 players to win ahead of him is the most uneducated statement ive read from a guy who supposedly knows a thing or two about the sport...ridiculous. if you dont like the guy, then say so, but dont make yourself look so clueless next time you have something to add

Do you think steroids has something to do with this?
Could there be something to all the steroid rumors after all?

Personally, I don't think so. I think his old swing he grew up with took its toll on his knee. I dnt think he ever would have changed his swing if it wasn't doing damage to his knee. But hell who knows, the guy is the size of an NFL cornerback. I read a few years back that he was the strongest athlete that Stanford ever had, pound for pound and I dnt know what the hell pound for pound means.

wouldn't sunrise me if he has done them since he was hooked up with that Dr galeo or whatever his name is. I could care less if athletes do steroids, shit that's what makes them unbelievable compared to us bums

Tiger was and still is an unbelievable golf talent. Everyone needs to get off his back when he doesn't win every tourney. Sure he is in a slump, but that comeback on Sunday at the Masters was one for the ages. Look for him to win at least one major this year ( I am predicting the British). Same with Phil. Out of all these so called new talents of golf, which one could anyone put ahead of Phil or Tiger? Either one of them will be the favorite for every major for the remaining of the year and probably into next year's majors also. Something has to be said for a golfer who wins a major, then is the favorite to win the next one or next couple. I really don't know the actual odds, but when has a golfer who has won a major outside of phil or tiger and been the favorite for the next one? It is not that unusual for either one of those guys to be the favorite after a major win. Don't be a hater on the two best golfers in the field.

It's always possible he did, even though he has passed a couple drug tests in the past. But the PGA isn't going to come in and surprise a moneymaking breadwinner for the tour like Tiger Woods with a drug test. I'm sure he saw it coming long before he took it. Tiger claims he never took performance enhancing drugs. And I'm just as apt to believe that story too since he's always been a cut above the rest of the tour in his dedication to becoming the greatest golfer in history. So I can see where he could be a maniac in the weight room. It isn't like he couldn't afford the best trainer and facilities to get it done.

Since he last won, how many different golfers have won ? probably more then 20 ! Yes I don't like the guy. Tell you what, before the Open I will give you 20 golfers I would take before Tiger with a chance to win the Open. If I was clueless I would be betting on Tiger to win as a favorite, not betting him-120 to not win a major like I have.

Swing change red eye....don't go back to your stupid ways
And the swing change seems to have come around, so your basically betting against his shortgame. Good luck with that cause he is the best short game player that's ever lived. Jack will tell you that himself

Well then I guess keep betting on the rory mcillroys of the world and see how far that gets ya. Lol....if tigers knee is ok, he wins a major this year. People that hate tiger only hate him because he is the best, same reason people hate the Yankee and Lakers. What's funny is people that hate him prob couldn't name 10 golfers if it wasn't for him. In other words, like it or not, the only reason this thread has gone on for +200 post is because people, love him or hate him, are intrigued by him.....get over it

Ok we all get it. Golf is way more competitive even more than 10 / 15 years ago, let alone 30.


12 teams make the NFL playoffs, the 16-0 team (tiger) still odds on won't win the superbowl has to win 3 games vs anybody even up ---they will stil bet against the 16-0 team.



Given the choice--- gun to head to head next 4 majors who had best score pick any golfer vs. another -- 90 % plus should pick tiger.

BTW, its alot easier to hedge Rory at 32/1 then anything you can on Tiger because of all of the fools that bet him in the last year and a half. Those are other peoples problems that can't name more then 10 golfers, not mine. No doubt Tiger is a draw, i watch him too. Hate is pretty strong, pretty much dislike here. Yankees though are hate, give you that one. Fact is, you need to get over living in the past. Tiger will never dominate like he did before. He had his time. We can revisit this thread to the end of time and I will keep reminding you of this and you'll keep playing woulda, shoulda, coulda, wishing and praying.

nicely done again sir. I'd like for somebody to see somebody pick one player to have a better score than tiger over the course of 4 majors. If anybody picks somebody besides tiger, you are incredibly stupid
