Umm---he's still the greatest golfer ever.

[trumad]

Nuff said.

[JonLP24]

1. 2 eagles in the same round at the Masters for the first time in his career

Pretty good considering most people were predicting that he would struggle.

[joeybee12]

2. He's doing well because all the fans are supporting him...

:puke:

[JonLP24]

3. I think he's doing well because he has skillz n/t

[Upton]

4. So?

Was screwing a lot of women supposed to affect his golf game?

[taterguy]

5. Only because great athletes don't waste their time with golf

[JonLP24]

6. Like Michael Jordan

Derek Jeter, John Elway, Wayne Gretzky, and countless other athletes of other sports known to play golf? Tony Romo was also a pretty good golfer as well.

[taterguy]

7. For them it's recreation, not a sport

If you can compete at a high level at something after the age of 40 . . .

IT'S NOT A SPORT

(Same goes for NASCAR)

[JonLP24]

11. The fact that most athletes

are addicted to playing it shows it is a sport. I'm sure if you ask any one of them they will tell you it is a sport.

[bluedigger]

16. Wakefield begins 16th season with Red Sox

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100408&content_id=9144462¬ebook_id=9144432&vkey=notebook_bos&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos&partnerId=rss_bos

[Upton]

18. Wakefield isn't a member of AARP...

Watson's a verifiable old man for God's sakes....

[bluedigger]

19. True.

I think Wake is a spry 46. He needs 18 Ws for the all-time Red Sox record, and says he wants it. So he must plan to play two more seasons, I would think. My point was just that baseball, like Nascar, must not be a real sport.

Watson was my grandmother's favorite. In the 70s! :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

20. But, Gordie Howe was a certified member of the AARP when he was

playing for the Whalers in the mid 80's.

Hmmm. Says a lot about the "sport" of hockey!

[Upton]

31. You'll get no argument from me on that

I'm no doubt in the minority, but having Howe come back, with I guess it was the WHA ( I think he even pulled a Griffey and played with his son) was an embarrassing moment for that league...

A old legend like that is more of a circus sideshow than anything else...even if he can still play.

[bullwinkle428]

28. How old is Lance Armstrong now? Must be close to 40!

:evilgrin:

[Upton]

8. Yeah..but they don't play professionally.

I mean, how much athletic prowess does golf really take? Apparently not much, because you see a 60 year old man near the top of the leader board.

[JonLP24]

9. Probably because they're not good enough

It takes a crazy amount of skill where the professionals you see on TV make it look easy.

[Upton]

13. What about grandpa?

He sits at the top of the leader board. I'm sorry, but any game that can be won by a member of the geriatric set is not a true sport.

g

[JonLP24]

14. He's been playing a long time

toning his game. But to your point it doesn't happen very often. They mentioned this year is unique in that aspect.

[Upton]

17. "He's been playing a long time"

Jon, you have a gift for understatement..

[trumad]

24. I'd love to see you on a course....

I'd love to see you swing a club...

I can pretty much guarantee you're a pastie face little fat guy who never played a sport in your life.

Douche.

[Upton]

25. And you'd be pretty much wrong..

Though, considering you're an amateur detective and in keeping with the golf theme, you being in error is pretty much par for the course isn't it?

[trumad]

35. What the pastie fat white boy part

or you couldn't swing a golf club if your life would depend on it.

[madinmaryland]

10. I'm glad to see that you consider Tony Romo a great athlete!

:D

[JonLP24]

15. I saw your edit

Go back and say he is still a good golfer(I'm not sure but I wouldn't doubt it).

Anyways I think he is. 8+ career YPA and the fact he's talented in others sports should indicate that he is a great athlete.

[madinmaryland]

22. You were the who said he is a good golfer. So yes, I will go back and

say that he is a good golfer!

[trumad]

23. Tater acting like an idiot again.

[madinmaryland]

12. You referring to Tom Watson who is only one shot off the lead??

[City Lights]

21. BFD. nt

[Condem]

26. Fuckin' A, Tru.

That is one helluva leaderboard after the first day. Most excellent that everyone completed their round. Tomorrows forecast is for 72 degrees and sunny. Going to be one great ride.

[madinmaryland]

27. FYI: Iowa's Brad Hopfinger Tabbed Big Ten Golfer of the Week

Just thought you would to know that Iowan's golf is noted here. I still don't want ND joining the Big Ten!

http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-golf/spec-rel/032410aaa.html

[MadBadger]

29. The only people shocked by his round today were the ESPN/CBS analysts

[Iggo]

30. Yeah, but it's golf.

:P

[El Supremo]

34. Let me guess...

Your kid taught you how to cut and paste.

[Awsi Dooger]

33. I won good on that one

It was +250 (250 for every 100 risked) that Tiger would go below 70.5.

I posted on a couple of sites that it was an excellent investment. Troubled athletes invariably step up in the first outing, when their pride is challenged and they are determined to make a statement. The sharp guys in Las Vegas taught me decades ago to bet on an injured top team in its first game. The problems and rust show up later.

Tiger continues to get the breaks off the branches, poor drives knocked into play on 10 and 11. That being said, he could have shot 65 or lower with good putting. More margin for error than any athlete I've ever seen.

Supposedly it rained hard at Augusta tonight. That works in Tiger's favor with an early Friday tee time. The greens should be soft and receptive.

[CBR]

36. +1 nt

[rocktivity]

37. Yep--third place and four under after the first round is VERY bad news for the field

A top five finish would be embarrassing enough. But if Tiger does gets a green jacket out this, it's going to make a devastating statement about the overall quality (and by extension, financial worth) of professional golf, which means sponsors and advertisers can look forward to lower fees. (No wonder Nike decided to take a gamble on forgiving him.) A story in my local paper suggested that Tiger's four-month layoff may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for his bad knees.

38. Round 2 Update

Two strokes behind, 70 for the day, higher than only to one player. Tomorrow will separate the men from the boys.
