    Sean, I can stand over a ball in the fairway and lace it with my small faced 3-wood right on the screws, a few times in a row if somebody dares me; but on the tee, I can barely get the face of my monster titanium driver on the golf ball. The club's length can't be the major factor, there's a...

    Watched Tiger get mad on the weekend (can't remember the hole). Cursed too if I'm not mistaken, and as he walked off the green, you could see the steam piping out of his ears. Obviously, since he's at the top of the list for bounce-back, he had recomposed by the next tee. Perhaps Sean can give...
