What If...

What if golf transformed into a totally different sport. What if there were 700 yard par six's. It would change things significantly in the world of golf. Children wouldn't even be able to play courses with such holes simply because their not physically strong enough to the hit the ball that far. Long ball hitters such John Daly, Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods averaging at over 300 yards off the tee would have a great advantage over players with a 250 yard average.

Golf has come such a long way over the years. Back in the day when golf was first created women were not allowed to step foot on a golf course and neither were African Americans. New technologies have allowed us to hit the ball farther and definitely much more accurately. What if golf became an inside sport? Weather would no longer be a factor. It wouldn't matter if there were 50 km/h winds or it was snowing profusely like no other. You would always be at a perfect temperature to enjoy yourself completely. People would be able to golf anytime of the day, whether its 5 o'clock in the morning or 11 o'clock at night. It would be amazing.

Tiger Woods Review

Tiger Woods hands down is one of the greatest competitors the game of Golf has ever seen. Out of all PGA Tour athletes, Tiger is the most enjoyable and exciting to watch. Under pressure, he always comes through and performs for his fans. His impact on the game is astronomical. Fans literally jump out of their seat to greet him on the tee. One of his signature moves is his celebratory fist pump when he makes a long putt to win a championship. Tiger Woods (aka Eldrick Tont Woods) has won 90 professional events starting from 1996 when he became professional. In 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005 he received the "Green Jacket" from winning the Masters Championship title. This is defiantly not the only major championship he has won in his career, in 2000, 2002, 2008 he was the U.S. Open champion dominating his opponents. Tiger was also the PGA Tour money leader 8 times consecutively and a 7 time PGA Player Of The Year. Tiger Woods is on the verge of breaking records held by legends Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. At only 34 years old he has accomplished great achievements and I would imagine there is many more to come. Tiger Woods is an icon and will be for years to come.
