Like I said, Tiger also uses the same way of gripping the club, using the 'Vardon grip'. So, I'm assuming that's the grip favored by most the Aliens, or at least those who have similar kinds of fingers as us. Now, aliens with the octuopuss like type fingers, (fingers with little suction cups on them) of course, grip the club in their own unique sort of way. To each his own. What matters is that you are comfortable in the way you hold the club.
Thanks again.

I didn't know Tiger used the Vardon grip ...probably because he started golfing when he was three or four ( You don't see too many people using that grip any more). I've tried it, but it just seems so alien to me.
I just got home from a nice after-work 9. Striking the ball well, but had one blow-up hole and a few 3-putts (45... yikes!)
Never took a lesson, but perhaps I should find an PGA-lien and invest in a few
- Cheers!

Ah, R_x, I see you're still with us. I had feared that you would be called away somewhere that we couldn't follow.
You may be on to something with TW after all, though I still must say that I expect there's more to your end of the story than meets the third eye.
I have an aged uncle who in his prime was an avid golfer. Because of an upcoming family reunion, I talked to him by phone recently. Since any conversation with him always has to include at least a passing reference to The Game, I asked him for his thoughts on why TW is such a good player.
Surprisingly, Uncle Charles attributed it to his being black. Uncle seems to think that because of his skin pigmentation TW absorbs energy at a higher level than most players, which is why TW gets better as the game goes on.
Now I don't want to read too much into this as my uncle is known in the family as being in the early stages of dementia. However, it is curious that he should feel this way about TW considering that I have never mentioned the theory you have.
I just thought I would pass on that tidbit, not that it means anything.

Tiger might not really be as 'black', as your uncle claims he is. He might, hypothetically, be an alien, after all? We haven't reached a definite conclusion to our inquiry and investigations on this thread yet!
He might be the greatest masterpiece of alien genetic engineering since Karen Mulder (the Dutch Supermodel), for all we know? (Do a google search to see Karen Mulder in all her glory.)

I can't even believe this thread has had over 100 replies. This is the type of thread that gives all of us a bad name and is the reason that people look at us funny and call us "tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy freaks." Some people are truly paranoid. Some live in tiny little bubbles where they hear voices all day telling them to slice their wrists and hurt others. Others think of such ludicrous ideas as alien golfers. This thread is just another example of a poster's paranoid delusions.

Hi
Golf... why don´t you pick a much more intense sport like Formula 1 we could say Schumacher was an alien he won 5 times.
Or even Armstrong an alien with only 1 testical lol.
Golf is a nice sport but it´s nothing compared to other sports and not many people play it on such high level as Tiger.
He is just good can´t you live with that.
My niece is connected with Indurains family and his performance on his bicycle was due to that he has a heart that´s twice the size of a normal persons heart. Nothing alien just super human we could say.
Tiger just found the thing he is good at in his life like all other sport idols have done.
Nando out!

My grandfather a natural par golfer with those old 'block' clubs before the 'sweet' spot was introduced, and only God knows what now days.

I had my hands on the 'vintage' clubs (my grandfathers) -
Actually, its kind of unfortunate, but they (parents)actually had them cut down in size years back when I was a kid for me to use when I took golf lessons. (i kid you not)
Personally, I would have wished/thought that they would leave them as they were...but thats neither here nor there now.
But if my memory serves me correctly he had a #2 (and again I havent played golf since I was a child...but I seem to recall that a #2 was a 'rare' club as they started at #3.)
One of the clubs actually had a wood handle - Im betting it was the putt - but it could have been the #2 (its been so long ago.)
Anyway...who knows, maybe one day I will pick the sport up again, not to many courses here in Hungary (though I bet there are some in Budapest - quite a trip though from where Im at)
Peace
