You have no idea how much competitive golf I've played (2 NCAA national championships). And I can certainly appreciate that he's the best golfer that's ever played the game. I also know how hard he goes after the ball and know plenty of other guys that have swing speed comparable to his-- mine's not terribly far off.
As far as the galleries being 20-30 deep when he plays....what about his playing partners? I never see them grab swing at the top.. Is that obnoxious fan activity not occuring when they step up to hit a shot? I venture to say the galleries are less considerate because they're less interested in watching the other players in his group. They're too busy scrambling and shuffling around to see what Tiger's going to do next.
I stand by my comments that the guy is over dramatic
sometimes
He treats the galleries like shit, and he's about as friendly as an angry pit bull. I had the "pleasure" of meeting and talking with him once and he made it seem like a terrible burden. The other players I've gotten to meet and converse with have been true gentlemen. Maybe I'm slightly jaded.
But to say that I haven't played enough to understand what he's doing, you're just completely incorrect...
