Tuesday In Non-PGA Show Instagram: Tiger, Joaquim, Emirates

A nice slow mo side view of Tiger starting his practice round Tuesday at Torrey Pines. Remember, it was 7:20ish and 45 degree, ish.

Joaquim Niemann will be delaying his pro debut for good reason after winning the Latin America Amateur Championship and multiple perks, including a Masters invitation.

Check out 18 years then and now at Emirates Golf Club, host to this week's Dubai Desert Classic. Make sure to get to the second image via the right hand arrow.

I posted today's ho-hum sunset from the not-so-ho-hum cliffs of Torrey Pines.

How’s it looking? 🐅

The photo of Hammock Beach is stunning. Great shot,

The overhead of the Emirates Golf Club reminds me of what Shadow Creek in Vegas looked like from above year ago before all of the residential development surrounded the course,

The primary aluminum business had been good for Dubai. More so when the desalinated water used in the cooling process, keeps the golf course alive.

That pi of the Emirates course is almost frightening.

Two cents worth: Tiger looks great!! But how he looks means very little. He isn't Tiger anymore, he's at best a journeyman tour pro. I wonder how long he will be able to maintain his interest and keep up the effort to be competitive. He was either the greatest ever or if not, second or third, but injuries have done him in.
Dig:

Everyone dips...it's just a matter of degree. This looks better than before to my eye and when I watched in the Bahamas I didn't see him get stuck or trapped underplane. Maybe one of the teaching pros can chime in.
