Jdub, you said that Triathlon was not as mental as GOLF. NOT Triathlon is not as mental as Tiger having millions of people watching him win the Open.
RACE with your HR at 150+ for over 10 hours and then tell me that it isn't mentally tough to keep going. It is like doing self dentristry for hours at a time. |

I would have liked to see Demarco win. He has been in second place to many times in the majors not to win.
John Daily???that was really sad to see that happen to him on 18 Friday. All he had to do is bogey or better and would have been in the cut. For someone like daily to triple to last hole and not make that cut, it is really disappointing.
David Duval, made a cut in a major. he is starting to play better agian, that is also good to see.

actually I didn't say anything, but asked mili how he can prove 'running, biking and swimming' are as mentally demanding as golf.

Yeah, and even if Tiger doesn't win the tournament he still gets a ton of loot in prize money, not to mention his king's ransom in endorsements. Funny, but I didn't see a single golfer out there drop out due to mental/physical fatigue. As for "fun", trust me, it wasn't "fun" when I had to stop to rest just short of the 4-mile mark of the run because my vision went dark and saw spots...that was some scary [censored].

Uh, and if you finish in 400th or 500th place, it's the same deal. Your life goes on. Tiger may be a rich man either way, but it certainly makes a huge difference if he wins 5 majors versus 15 or 20.
Based on your logic no professional athlete ever has it as tough as you because, hey, they are rich either way. But in fact, they have it tougher because their livelihood depends upon it. |

yeah I'm sure that stuff means a lot to Mickelson when he was the punching bag of sports radio for a while. Better let John Cooper know he need not worry about all of his failures either.
