Bill Harmon says Tiger has the yips: http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/tiger-woods-in-denial-about-yips-bill-harmon-tells-ted-bishop

“[Tiger] does have the chipping yips. I also think he has the yips with the driver. Fear will make anyone ordinary. When a golfer is unsure of and fears impact around the greens it’s a totally different game.”

Bill Harmon would know. He is recognized as one of the game’s top teachers and his stable of players includes Bill Haas. There is no more respected family of golf instructors in America than the Harmons -- Bill, Butch and Craig Harmon, all schooled by their legendary father, Claude.

“There are very few pros who don’t think that Tiger has the yips around the greens,” Harmon said. “The first step in solving the problem is admitting that you have a problem. That is not a weakness, but a strength.

“I don’t buy all of this release stuff. In the last two events that he has played in he had the two worst cases of yips I’ve ever seen from a Tour pro and this coming from arguably the greatest short-game player ever. I’ve had -- and sometimes still do -- the yips pitching. I know what it is when I see it. It will be interesting to see where he goes with it because as he said, he’s doing it in a public forum.”

I didn't really watch any of Tiger's round, but in the lowlight I saw, you could see Tiger lifting his head on his short game shots. That's a mechanical issue, but I think it likely happens because of the yips.

The yips are highly contagious. If I catch them, I'll blame Tiger and DeadMan.

 

[Carolina Blue]

Also, what!? HOW!?

[CJ_24]

If only we could vaccinate against the yips. I'd rather have a yips vaccine than a polio vaccine

 

[DeadMan]

If the yips are contagious, then I surely have them.

 

[Carolina Blue]

And then Tiger withdraws from the Farmers...

 

[goblue96]

And then Tiger withdraws from the Farmers...

And any chance at playing the WGC @ Bay Hill in March.

Can Augusta just name him an honorary starter for The Masters now?

 

[Carolina Blue]

Got a kick out of this commercial.

 

[DeadMan]

Oh that's the trick?

There are some great golf commercials. I love this Stricker one:

Obligatory #TourSauce post for the beginning of golf season:

[whiteyc_77]

Patrick Reed's gonna spray Tour Sauce all over the competition.

[DeadMan]

I admit that I will do the follow through club throw. Although normally it's just a club drop. I'm going to try out the caddie ball toss next time I play with DeadWoman

 

[whiteyc_77]

Doesn't get better than this.

-YTC

 

[goblue96]

 

[CJ_24]

I've done all of those.

The best is the arrogant look down. When you hit a shot "perfectly" thus you don't even watch the ball flight because, you striper you, you know where that ball is going. I find myself doing that all the time on good tee shots. If I hit it well (and that's a big IF), I'll finish my follow through, pick up my tee and walk off the tee box while the ball is still in the air

 

[Carolina Blue]

The wayward drive directional point naturally leads to the apology. Have a feeling I'll be using both quite a bit as I go through "The Process" this season.

 

[wolverine318]

Something I never realized that I did until someone called me a smug bastard for it was, when I knew I hit a great shot, that I would hold my finish for a slight second then slightly lean back on my back leg and sort of admire it. Fuck that guy though, now I man up and own that pose after a great shot.

@DeadMan @dirt @dietcoke @Packfan your junk not chafing as much now that TIAGHHHH fell from grace?

Who's dietcoke?

 

[Brick]

Cj

 

[dirt]

 

[DeadMan]

Ah. Anyways, your troll game is weak.

 

[dirt]

Paddy Harington not on his game either. Fuck this boring ass shit

 

[Brick]

Ah. Anyways, your troll game is weak.

How does it feel that you now can't say you lived to see the GOAT?

 

[DeadMan]

Not sure what you mean. I saw Tiger play.

 

[Brick]

Hagay

 

[CJ_24]

I don't know 'bout you, but I could go for some perkins.

 

[goblue96]

How does it feel that you now can't say you lived to see the GOAT?

The GOAT shot -7 today.

 

[DeadMan]

He can easily get back to even par with just one hole.

 

[wolverine318]

That 'stache.

No sure what y'all are talking about. We are all witnessing the GOAT as we speak.

 

[DeadMan]

Davis Love III is the next Ryder Cup captain.

I wouldn't call it a great pick, but I'm okay with it. I don't think we can blame a collapse from 10-6 on Love.

 

[goblue96]

Fred Couples getting no love from the PGA of America.

 

[bruin]

Flawless day at the Riv.

 

[Carolina Blue]

Fun finish at Riviera. Hahn has a sweet swing. Hope this loss doesn't send DJ back into the darkness.

 

[DeadMan]

Yeah, that was a fun last hour. Garcia is such an epic choker. He needs to go par-par to win, one of those a par 5, and he goes bogey-bogey. That driver swing was so terrible on 18. And then the chip. Yikes.

I'm sure DJ will get over this by snorting a line of coke off Paulina. Although it's really hard to be too mad when the guy bombs a 30 foot putt on you.

 

[goblue96]

Only one line?

 

[DeadMan]

Good point.

 

[CJ_24]

Riviera one of the 5 best courses they play all year. I'd love that course.

 

[Carolina Blue]

Poulter going full-Sergio right now. Love it.

 

[DeadMan]

I'm rooting for Paddy, even though I really don't dislike Reed.

 

[wolverine318]

Fuck yeah Rory, let it all out.

 

[DeadMan]

Tiger would never do that.



















He'd just drop a bunch of f-bombs and then kick his club.

 

[Wolfman21]

lol. Dude just tossed a couple hundred dollar club into the lake like it wasn't shit. My iron's are prolly 40 bucks a piece and theres no way in shit i'd do that, lol.

 

[DeadMan]

He gets them for free. He probably has 3 exact copies in his locker.

But yeah, I'm with you. I've tossed clubs before (not proud of it), but I've never tossed one into the water. Never damaged them either.

 

[Carolina Blue]

Rory's club toss with Protracer technology:

 

[kella]

I love when the leaders are big hitters. Holmes and Watson don't seem to give a fuck where the drives go as long as they go far.

 

[DeadMan]

Yeah, I get the feeling Bubba is a huge prick, but I love watching him play golf.

 

[Carolina Blue]

 

[C3PO]

We doing the bestball major thing again?

 

[goblue96]

We doing the bestball major thing again?

Yes, I'll set it up tonight when I get home from Easter with the family.
