Seriously?



You got the wrong person there mate, I'm his biggest fan and always want him to win, apart from when there's a Brit with a chance. There's nothing better than watching Woods at his best.

It's Bubba Watson I don't like, can't stand him and hope someone runs him over Happy Gilmore style during a round

GOLF ETHICS QUESTION

What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes.
You had the honour and hit your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin.
Your opponent then hits his ball, lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway.

Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball.
Just before the permitted five minute search period ends, your opponent says, "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match."

You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from the pin.
About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent exclaim from deep in the woods, "I found it!".
The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping no more
than six inches from the hole.

Now here is the ethical dilemma:

Do you pull the cheating barstewards ball out of your pocket and confront him with it, or do you keep your mouth shut..?

It's Golf. You accept it and even if you think there is a doubt at the back of your mind you accept it and try to hole your putt.

A couple of years back I played this lad in an 8-15s league match at Hollins hall. He had dropped from being an 18 handicapper to a 12 in a matter of weeks and when I played him it wasn't hard to see why. He told me later on that his captain had put him in because he would intimidate his opponent with the distance he hit the ball. Funny thing was, thats my game

On the 1st hole he hit a 5 wood down the midlle of the fairway to about 250. I thought, balls to this and got the driver out and landed it 5 yards from the front of the green, about a 300 yard drive. His face dropped slightly.

Anyway, we had such a good close game and we were almost identical with the way we played that we got to the 18th, A/S with both of us only dropping 8 shots to that point. It was pitch black by now as frankly, the game in front of us was taking the p*ss. We both tee'd off and we both sounded like we hit perfect drives. The 'ping' was perfect, the balance felt right and we walked up the fairway. As we got to about the 270/280 mark, there was a ball sat perfectly in the middle of the fairway, but just the 1. As I walked up to it I saw my signature 3 red dots in a triangular formation above the pro v1 sign and breathed a sigh of relief. Then we went on looking for his ball. Could we find it? Not a chance. We had 8 people looking all over the place but it was that dark you couldnt really see more than 5 or 10 metres accurately.


At this point, what would you do?..

It's tough sjit basically and you have to take any luck you can get!



Similar happened to me before at Roundhay on the last hole, I was with a mate and I drove the green in the fading light, I could clearly see the ball on the green about 20ft away because of the clubhouse lights when walking to the green. I then went to help find his ball in the trees but when I got up there my ball was buried in the bunker with someones footprint around it, the only person near the green was my mates dad(who I was with) but the fooker protested his innocence



I knew what had happened but couldn't do feck all about it

Dustin Johnson pulls out through injury.

Least he won't be choking on the final day like usual

Among other bets put a e/w bet on him. Your tip last year didn't do me any good though!!!

If I win will buy you a cake!

Kaymer at 66/1 looks a tidy bet

Was it Ishikawa?

He was in with a chance until about halfway through the last round too. I was excited at about 10pm Sunday

I thought that too, he has to play well at the Masters at some point having never made the cut. This week could be the time.

I'm picking Mickelson, don't know his odds but I don't bet anyway, he always plays well at Augusta and is in good form again coming in. Hunter Mahan must be one of the favourites aswell.

Par 3 contest about to start on Sky sports 1, think its actually harder than the real course!*

[size=85* It is on Tiger Woods anyway

[/size

Damn rain, was looking forward to that aswell

Agreed.

Was surprised to see him @ 80/1

Done... Van Pelt 66/1, Choi 66/1, Snedeker 80/1, Carbrera 100/1, Haas 100/1, Ogilvy 100/1 all for a couple of quid e/w.

Usually manage to have a couple of interests going into the back 9 on the final day but never actually got a big winner, Choi, Couples and Di Marco (whatever happended to him) serving me well in recent years.

Can't wait...

Other than Woods is the bookies biggest financial liability apparently having been backed in from 100/1 to 25's in some cases.

Still trying to come to terms with him grounding his club in that sand in the final round of the US Open

It was.



Just in from work and have Amen corner on.

Tiger's on the red button at the moment. Saying that, it's 7 so he'll be on the main channel too

He just had an horrendous putt on the 12th though. He's Currently -2 which is solid.

Stenson's leading at -6 btw too. 2 eagles on his card. Paul Lawrie is 2nd, finishing at -3.

Only just started watching thanks to the sh[ii[/itty router at my sisters not working for ages

Stop WATCHING!!!!!

This is about to hit

BTW, a side note, I'd love to live in a place called Sparta

Wouldn't fancy living in Sylvania though it's full of Animals!!!

Anyway, the golf has been strange today. Some good scoring early on but since the wind started picking up as this storm moves in the big scores have been coming out. Stenson's 8 and Phil's 7 are the picks. Still, it's day 1 and you cant win it today, only lose it.

I'm sure when Bubba just missed that very short putt someone yelled out "Idiot"

I shouted miss you pr[ii[/ick just before he hit it
