1. he actually has a point
not that it was 'unfair' rather sickenly rediculous

c'mon. average score in the 80's??

they had to water down greens but only for every OTHER group?

Norman would have referred to that as 'Carnival Golf' and rightfully so

U.S. Open or not. it was crazy

Typical USGA. They should have allowed mulligans.

6. No way...........
I thought the point was to make the course as hard as possible. The fact that Retief was -4 for the tournament gives plenty of evidence that it was difficult, but not impossible.

Also, the fact that many of these guys get an insane amount of money to play doesn't build my sympathy either. They are pros, they are supposed to be the best, thrive under adversity and all that. Course plays tough? Too bad.

I will concede that Sun's greenkeeping was suspect. The director said that they did what the could to make it fair. Did they fail, maybe. But the fact that a few folks finished under par says they didn't totally fail.

11. My Dad & His Friends Play Shinnecock On Occassion
through invitations.

they said it's difficult cause of narrow fairways and tall grass... and there is also usually a breeze to factor in.

But so what? Don't golf course designers intentionally make courses challenging? :shrug:

12. Hey, it's an even playing field. Mickelson and Goosen managed to

Whiners. I like to see the pros golfing like I do!

13. Boy, I wish I had that set of problems
Pick up a six figure check while playing golf five or six days a week. And I don't even have to carry my own bag.

Lord a'mighty! What kind of complaining would we hear from these crybabies if they actually had to work for a living?

14. Why single out Tiger?
He's an ass I know,but today at Willowbend on Cape Cod all the golfers who played this weekend said the exact same thing.

And they're right.The green speeds were ridiculous.Good shots should never be punished in golf.

22. After he won the Masters in 97. Clinton invited him to the WH.
He publicly and rudely rejected his offer.

19. Some words from Dan Bern on Tiger Woods!
Well, sort of... :)

Tiger Woods

I got big balls
Big ol' balls
Big as grapefruits
Big as pumpkins
Yes sir, yes sir
And on my really good days
They swell to the size of small dogs
My balls are as big as small dogs
Well, it ain't braggin' if it's true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain't braggin' if it's true
Muhammed Ali said that
Back when he was a young man
Back when he was Cassius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring
And sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

I got a friend whose goal in life
Was to one day go down on Madonna
That's all he wanted, that was all
To one day go down on Madonna
And when my friend was 34
He got his wish in Rome one night
He got to go down on Madonna
In Rome one night, in some hotel
And ever since, he's been depressed
'Cause life is shit from here on in
And all our friends just shake their heads
And say, too soon, too soon, too soon,
He went down on Madonna too soon
Too young, too young, too soon, too soon
And it ain't braggin' if it's true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain't braggin' if it's true
Muhammed Ali said that
Back when he was a young man
Back when he was Cassius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring
And sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

If certain girls don't look at you
It means that they like you a lot
If other girls don't look at you
It just means they're ignoring you
How can you know, how can you know
Which is which, who's doing what
I guess that you can ask 'em
Which one are you, baby
Do you like me or are you ignorin me
Do you like me or are you ignorin me
And all you need to do that
Is one good pair of big balls
Balls as big as grapefruits
Balls as big as pumpkins
Balls as big as mine
But even though my balls are big
Sometimes I wish they were bigger
Even bigger
Big as the wheels on tractors
Big as the golden arches
Big as the golden gate bridge
Bit as the state of Kansas
Big as Mars and Jupiter
Big as the swing of Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

21. This week the course is on Booz, yet Tiger is skipping it
Too bad for the fans in the far right rough, who get a closeup of Tiger virtually every hole.
