Great play puts Tiger feats in perspective

David Toms went from a playoff loss at The Players Championships to a 62-62 start at the Colonial and then a Sunday rally to win for the first time in six years.

It took so much out of him that Toms he is heading off to his lake home in Arkansas, a planned vacation and he jokingly said he would go to his barber and "get something to cover this gray up."

"When I said I feel like I’ve been leading for two weeks, that’s hard," he said. "When Tiger was winning everything, I always said that was the most impressive thing to me was dealing with it every day. It is tough."

Sometimes it takes others’ great play with Nike sasquatch Sumo2 5300 driver to gain a better appreciation of Woods.

There was one stretch at the end of 1999 and into the start of 2000 when Woods either won or was runner-up in nine out of 10 tournaments. During a three-week stretch in the summer of 2006, Woods won a major (PGA), a World Golf Championship (Firestone) and the Deutsche Bank Championship.

More perspective involves Luke Donald, playing Nike sasquatch Sumo2 5300 driver the best golf of anyone this year.

Donald reached the final of the World Match Play Championship in Spain before losing to Ian Poulter. Even so, it was Donald’s eighth consecutive finish in the top 10, which includes a win at the WGC version of Match Play in Arizona, a playoff loss at Hilton Head and a late rally at the Masters.

Lee Westwood has two stretches of five straight top 10s on his two-year ledger that helped him get to No. 1 in the world. Vijay Singh, during his rise to No. 1 in the world, once had 10 consecutive finishes in the top 10 at the end of 2003 and into 2004.

He has posted at least eighth straight finishes in the top 10 on eight separate occasions in his career, the longest stretch coming in toward the end of 2006 and early part of 2007 when he had 13 consecutive top 10s, including seven wins.

LANGER OUT: Bernhard Langer had such a big year in 2010 that he is eligible for eight major championships—all five on the Champions Tour and all but the PGA Championship on the regular tour.

Because of a wrist injury and a sense of fairness, however, Langer is missing the first three.

Surgery on his left wrist already kept him out of the Masters (two-time champion) and this week’s Senior PGA Championship. Next up would be the U.S. Open, although Langer has decided not to play by Nike sasquatch Sumo2 5300 driver.

Langer, who was eligible as the U.S. Senior Open champion, does not feel as though he can win at Congressional and did not think it was right to take a spot from someone who would have a better chance.

Instead, he will make his "major" debut this year in the British Open at Royal St. George’s, where he finished third in 1993.

TEE IT FORWARD: The USGA and the PGA of America are behind an initiative called "Tee It Forward," which encourages golfers to play Nike sasquatch Sumo2 5300 driver from a shorter set of tees that best matches how far they hit their tee shots.

The idea comes from Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf, who believes the game will be more fun if players having not to hit long irons or hybrids into every hole. He also thinks it will speed play and help lower scores.

They have produced a chart that suggests which set of tees to use. For example, a player who hits it 275 yards should play (Nike sasquatch Sumo2 5300 driver) a course between 6,700 and 6,900 yards, while someone whose drive on average goes 200 yards should play a course at 5,200 to 5,400 yards.

The distance chart speaks to the professional state of the game—for pro golfers, the recommended length of a course they should play is from 7,600 to 7,900 yards. According to the PGA Tour media guide, only one course (based on the scorecard) on tour is longer than 7,600 yards—Cog Hill for the BMW Championship, which is listed at 7,616 yards.
