well, here it is, the time of year i always look forward to because the circus comes to town.

i've been attending the bridgestone (formerly the world series of golf) for a number of years, the first time was in the late 80's. i remember 1990 and jose maria olazabal's magical week when he shot a record score and lapped the field. i was there for phil mickelson's win in 1996. and then some guy named tiger woods arrived on the scene and stole the show. anyone who has attended the tournament can't help but be greeted by tiger by the flags which mark his many world golf championship victories.

i made plans late last year to attend this year's tournament, but unfortunately am unable to go. its the first time i've missed in whole or in part since 2006. i guess i'll be there in spirit. tiger will have to win without me (lol), which i'm sure he will! i have a feeling this will be 2007 all over again for tiger, when he won bridgestone and the pga back-to-back. he's due, he's primed, and pining for a major takeover of professional golf, again!!

last year, tiger played a practice round with the defending champion, hunter mahan. i don't think he'll be playing a practice round with the defending champion, this year ;).

have a good week tiger.

As I was watching the Open last week, I had to wonder what Steve Williams was thinking. "Since I made those comments at the Bridgestone last year about it being my best win, we haven't won again and Tiger's won 3 times."

Probably not what he was thinking, but one has to wonder...............

twitb,

sorry you won't be able to attend the Bridgestone this year.

but so glad you were able to be there for the past five years.

but he will be back again next year!!

olazabal has had some difficulties but i believe he is beginning

to play more now overseas.   which is a triumph because it

was thought that he would never walk again.   i am happy for him.

i have never attened the tourney but have enjoyed watching on

t.v.     Tiger makes any tournament fun and even more great

whenever he wins!!!

:-)

tiger won most prolifically with steve williams on the bag. to think that joe lacava will have similar success is ludicrous. and to think that williams regrets what he said after the bridgestone is also ludicrious. it was all about the timing of the statement, not that it was said. stevie will never win with adam scott what he won with tiger, but neither will any other caddy win with tiger what stevie won.

Funny stuff Colt.

But what if Tiger and Joe did have the same or greater success that Tiger had with SW. Wouldn't that be about awesome!!!!!!?????

IMHO....they will be successful together!  Right now.....Tiger is still re-developing his game and Joey is learning the ins and outs of Tiger-golf, too.  I believe they have a good rapport that will only grow stronger over time.

GO TIGER......Rake in Bridgestone #8

:-))))

stevie was on the bag for 13 of tiger's 14 major wins.

i don't think so.

it has nothing to do with whether or not one thinks stevie is a bad person.

successful, yes, as successful as stevie, no. i don't see tiger getting to 27 majors. lacava may win the most likeable caddy award, but he's not going to outdo steve williams. and like i said to shenlee, it has nothing to do with how you feel about him.

Obviously, twitb, you are equating success with majors only.......I'm not.  I do believe Tiger will top Jack's record......but I don't believe that will be the sole marker of a successful career. 

Hey....and since when did Stevie or anyother caddy swing the clubs and putter to "win" a tournament????
