Y.E. Yang — Ain't No Joke

[willgolfer]

Hard to believe some of TW club selctions on the back 9 - I believe twice he hit a 7 iron form 155 range over the back of the green. His 80% 9 iron is probably 155. WTF?

spin and wind factoring in maybe?

Ball striking aside, if Tiger makes those first two putts for birdie on #1 and #2, this is a different discussion.

 

[Burner]

Hey Yang, don't tell them your Jewish.

I hear that he is now an honorary Italian.

 

[holeout]

Who was saying he was a joke?

It's a saying, dude.

 

[jeffgladchun]

NHA anyone?

 

[Kevin Shields]

Definately not NHA. He just swings enough left to hit a power fade.

Perfect D-Plane on this shot.

Slightly left pointing divots.

Plane and divot are clearly left - Not sure why he even lays down a dowel??

 

[willgolfer]

Not if you're familiar with the way the saying is generally used these days.

exactly....

ain't no joke = real deal

 

[Jim Kobylinski]

Tiger had 33 putts....just saying.

Anyone else notice how much Tiger tried to stay visible to Yang and in front of him and in his indirect line of sight on the greens? Definitely some gamesmanship going on there. I might have asked Tiger to move once or twice if I were Yang.

I couldn't help but think the same thing.

Maybe I am biased.

I don't like it though and I think it would bother me a little too.

Tough to ask and it's very possible Eldrick may know this too. (no way of knowing for sure but you can't say it's not possible)

I quite possibly would have to ask but make light of it at the same time.

Word. Grip stronger...backswing armswing more inside. Great looking swing though.

Still want to find a face-on clip.

 

[birdie_man]

I like how he talked about "mastering the art of controlling my emotions."

Sounds like he is serious about it. I wonder how he goes about it.

Y.E. Yang...Ain't No Choke.

 

[needham]

What alarmed me was reading somewhere (it may have been here) that Tiger believed he just 'timed it well' back pre-Haney.

3jack--


that was me in another thread. I mentioned at after the 97 masters that EW was quoted as saying "I timed it well that week". I think he said it a year or so after the 97 masters when asked what in your swing has changed.

 

[willgolfer]

That's one interpretation, there are others , just like most things.

where are you again (city/country)?

Another little trick employed by Tigger is to leave the green before his opponent has putted out. This, of course, draws the gallery with him, very off putting (pun intended) and is the height of bad manners.

Now, I know why people don't like Tiger. The guy is acting like a pompous azzhat all year long.

I've seen probably countless pros do this, be it the Tour pro or the local club pro. Absolutely the height of bad golf ettiquette.

I noticed that on camera this weekend, forget if it was Saturday or Sunday ( but I think Sunday, b/c otherwise the player on the green would have been Singh who I don't think was involved). Looked totally bush league.

I noticed this as well and the staying in Yang's vision when Yang was surveying a putt (as someone mentioned earlier). Just guessing here, but Tiger played very conservative golf and I think this is because he was waiting for all the Mary Ellens to fade away. But when Yang....he aint no joke didn't fade, and Tiger couldn't buy a putt - he turned to Plan B.
