if you can’t hit a HR in a HR Derby, you probably aren’t doing it in a game....

I’m just telling you how it is, no artifice or bullshit.
The victory for Sivasspor served as Beşiktaş’ worst opening loss in Turkish Süper Lig history.
Lengthening the courses was a direct response to tigers ability to hit much farther and more accurate than 99% of all golfers ever
I dunno about tiger, but when the NCAA banned slam dunks from '67 to be'76, it was known as the Lew Alcindor rule.
You can google “Tiger Proofing”. It was something openly discussed by other players and the sports media, if not admitted to by the club managers who instead cited improvements in equipment as the driving force.
Augusta National lengthened the hell out of the course when he set the course record years ago. Turned it from a place where you could creatively get yourself out of trouble in any number of ways into a course where you’d better be able to hit the long drive in order to be competitive.
Golf - they tried to lengthen course, specifically the Masters. for example he could hit a driver on a par 5, then have an iron into the green for his 2nd shot, where others would need Driver + 3 wood. By lengthening it, everyone would need Driver + 3wood, or have to hit 3 shots to the green. This ultimately created…
Golf courses were lengthened to counter Tiger and NBA had the Jordan Rules.
The NBA didn’t do anything to slow MJ down. Instead the NBA went the other way and implemented rules to protect their star players. Flagrant fouls didn’t come about until the 90s and it was in response the the way the Bad Boy Pistons played.
During Tiger’s prime, some classic golf courses were updated to either play longer yardage, or were made more challenging by narrowing fairways, enlarging bunkers, etc.
They redesigned numerous golf courses on the tour, specially Augusta, numerous time by adding trees to places he could cut/hit over. For a long time he was just over powering courses...they said no more. Didnt always stop him.
With Tiger is was the set up of the courses. I am not much of a golf fan, in fact not one at all. But as a consumer of sports media you heard a lot about Tiger proofing course when he was in his heyday. My understanding it was mostly about lengthening the approach. Which to be honest probably backfired and hurt is…
Courses tried to do their best to “Tiger-proof” the courses by making them longer. It didn’t really work, but Tiger was ahead of his time in terms of driving distance, so he was really tough to beat. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/28934-us-open-tiger-proofing-of-golf-courses-has-done-just-the-opposite
Eh, I think JIMMER could have conducted a Thelema sex magick ritual at midcourt during a game and he'd still have been fine.
That’s nothing. You should see what BYU would do if he had sex!
I would argue that everyone stops buying yearly iterations of the same game.
To be fair, the river did stare at that home run for a really long time.
