The Golf Soapbox (Page 1 of 3)

I'll tell him why - It's because Adam Scott is the closest thing to Tiger Woods.  Uses Tiger's old coach Butch Harmon and his swing is identical to the one Tiger used to have.  Wood's ego is unmatched in golf and he won't tolerate what he perceives as betrayal by Steve.  In Tiger's defense I'm sure Williams was paid while Tiger was off.  I talked to some caddies at Pebble Beach and they said Scott is referred as the "White Tiger".

Golf? Has all the paint in the world dried?

No actual reason was given and nobody will probably ever know the true reason. Tiger is not one for speaking from the heart. Every interview I've ever seen him give sounds totally scripted. I'd love to see someone slip him some sodium penethol and hear him spill his guts, that would be well worth tuning in. The bottom line for Steve Williams as well as other Pro Caddies is, if they aren't carrying somebodies clubs they're not gettin' paid.

LOL no... I'm just loitering.

Basketball and golf are two things I'm terrible at, and never liked them because of it. I guess it only makes sense to like the things you are good at! 

I'll give credit where credit is due thought... golf is a good sport.

I heard an interview with him today on the BBC radio, his doctor says he's ready to go back to work. We'll see if he's right.... won't we!

WGC Invitational

Caddie Steve Williams claimed helping Adam Scott to victory was the most satisfying win he's ever had - two weeks after being axed by Tiger Woods.

How often do the networks interview anyones caddy after  the 72nd hole ?  NEVER. So they talk to S.W. and he speaks from the heart (slight dig on T.W. or not ) and now he has to say sorry for what he said just to save face with the media. I was never a huge Adam Scott fan,for no particuler reason, but as soon as i realised that Faller,Day and Ryo werent going to catch him and make a match out of it, i was wanting him to beat T.W. by as many strokes as he possibly could. S.W. decided to dedicate his life to A.S.. He made probably $140.000.00 (typically 10% of your players winnings). Id say that was sweet too.

I never heard SW's interview and don't really care (much ado about nothing, IMO), but there was an interesting article in the Chicago Sun-Times today. It basically said that SW's has always been pretty full of himself, and that the skills of a caddie were overrated in terms of their influence on winning a tournament. Everybody out there knows the yardage within inches, everyone knows which way the greens break, and that the caddies biggest challenge is carrying a heavy bag in extreme heat.
The writer basically said SW's was full of himself and for him to act as though he had anything to do with beating TW's was bullspit AND was insulting to Adam Scott.
The author of the article caddied for a long time and said he knew what he was talking about.

I never caddied, but I have to agree.
