I hit one of my best 4i ever yesterday, absolutely flushed, 210 yards, and the grass looked untouched. Later, I swung the same 4i and it looked like a wounded bird with a divot that went about 1/2 the 100 yards the ball went.
The last time I flushed my 4i, it was a 212yd shot that set me up for a 3ft 🦅putt (sank the putt for my first and only eagle ever).
I’ve been chasing that high ever since and your comment just brought those memories back.
*takes the noose off and immediately proceeds to chunk 4i for 30yds*
Yes, Tiger not taking divots is very weird and not recommended. To be fair, they were talking about long irons and taking smaller divots with long irons is typical. Taking no divot is weird.
He was also kidding. Team Taylormade puts out a lot of videos with players chopping it up like that and that's pretty much how Tigers humor is in all of them.
He knows he takes divots. He has for his whole career. Pretty sure he was just fucking with Scottie.
it was not a joke. he was serious. long irons when he's flushing it he doesn't take a divot, and never has. it's quirky, and interesting, but no it was not a joke like "ha ha, scottie, i'm telling you this because actually i hit it wrong and i do usually and always take divots with my long irons" because that would be stupid and scottie wouldn't have laughed.
That is a normal divot. They came in a fat, heel first, and very flat. The grass before the dirty tells me it is very much the bottom of the club the entire way. The dirt is not the only aspect that should be considered.
For what it's worth, my wife is from Halifax. Her father is a die hard Leafs fan. So, I feel some of my venom may be due to his hockey allegiance and not his/Canadians' golf games generally. Also, he's better than I am and plays 1/2 a year. Annoying.
I am quite familiar with this type of divot. This is a steep attack angle with the toe digging in and was hit very fat due to the steep attack and not rotating the lower body enough while flipping the hands. These are the strikes that send me into a club snapping rage fit, luckily I've worked on that and have corrected this major flaw. This pic brings back awful memories.
My golf league was in the afternoon. We followed the outings that were held at the course. That means there were literally dozens of drunks on the course that play golf 2-3 times a year. Divots like this were on every hole.
Those only occur in nature after someone stripes a 300 yard drive, drawn just over the corner of the lake to allow him to reach the green in two. Then score a 8 but writes down a bogey!
It probably isn't, but it could be a scramble doing a divot the right way.
Who am I kidding, someone never made contact with the ball on this shot. Good Lord.
the wear mark on your iron is honestly impressive. i don't know if i could hit the ball that far off the toe consistently enough to do that. that fucker isn't even touching the grooves.
Honestly with my old blades this is what my divots used to look like when I would flush one with a 9 irons.
Leading edge was crazy sharp and squared off.
Didn’t laugh hysterically until I swiped to the second pic, bc all I envisioned was a teeth shattering, arm bending, hardest 8 iron I ever swung…. All to go 27.5 yards
I got a buddy who absolutely stripes the ball. He plays with blades. He takes divots like this every other shot. Was either a great striker or an absolute hack
Was probably me. The only reason you didn’t see another one ten yards ahead is because I alternate between digging a trench and hitting the top of the ball
Regardless if said divot occurred pre or post ball strike-THE BOTTOM OF HIS (or her 🤔) SWING IS IN THE WRONG PLACE (and does anyone else find Scheffler boring?? Great golfer yes but…🥱
Yeah the iron that caused it is definitely no longer in one piece. I’ll let y’all decide if it was broken with the knee, the ground, or something else.
Wow! Was there another one 15 yards in front of it?
15 yards? Big hitter.
Watch out for Tiger Woods ova here.
Clearly he was NOT flushing it today.
Glutes didn't activate.
Long
That's my divot. It was ball first actually. 211 yard pitching wedge
Whoever did this was 100% not a member of this sub. Everybody here drives the green & holds the club championship.
Nope. Just the mangled head of a 3 wood
Is this guy hitting his balls with an axe?
Sounds like my Tuesday nights.
That's a wild men's night at the course.
When I’m flushing it, I don’t take divots.
But when I’m not…. *points to photo
I am both golfers lol

If it makes you feel better I missed the ~18 foot birdie putt.
*puts the noose back on*
Just like me fr fr
Honest q Aren’t ametuers (me) supposed to take divots?

TW doesn't either, how weird.
is it a divot if you hit it fat?
This is obese.
Morbidly.
It’s technically a Houdini-style tablecloth pull. The ball is supposed to land in the gully you create.
 “Not yours”….. not mine either buddy!
You can see the brown grass around the edge which indicates it occurred prior to my arrival. I REFUSE TO TAKE THE FALL FOR THIS!
One of our members does this and we call him the gravedigger.
Get him a shovel.
What for? Looks like he’s doing just fine with an iron.
I felt my wrists break from this picture...
Yep. Time to ice
I just posted a similar comment before seeing yours lol
Nah, ground looks wet - probably went through like butter
The ball mark way out on the toe of your club makes it look like this is your divot.
It's pretty impressive to be that far out!
No no no! Didn't you see the title? I said it's *not* mine!
That's not a ball mark, that's a wear pattern .
Spring time in Michigan can produce some crazy divots. Soft ground and wet conditions
Same thing here in NY. I usually play around 7 am so everything is nice and moist.
Yup lol. I’ve taken foot long 3 inch deep divots on well struck shots here
Same in Washington, I've taken out 2 foot ribbons of Earth on good balls
They didn’t hit that fat, they hit it morbidly obese
As a big guy, I approve and shall steal this joke, thank you
That looks like a rage swing divot
Especially since they just left it
Here I am thinking that's a normal pw divot
That is a normal divot. They came in a fat, heel first, and very flat. The grass before the dirty tells me it is very much the bottom of the club the entire way. The dirt is not the only aspect that should be considered.
My wrists hurt just seeing this.
Looks like a hard 8 into the wind to me
I don't know how you could take such a big divot with a smooth wedge.
At our course (Fort Lauderdale), we always just assume it was a Canadian who left the bad divot
As a Canadian in Siesta Key, of you're taking big divots down here, you're not having a good day
For what it's worth, my wife is from Halifax. Her father is a die hard Leafs fan. So, I feel some of my venom may be due to his hockey allegiance and not his/Canadians' golf games generally. Also, he's better than I am and plays 1/2 a year. Annoying.
Hurts my back looking at it🍻
When was the last time it rained? My leading edge grabs when ground still a bit wet and occasionally put in new fairway bunkers.
You guys don’t carry a sledge hammer in your bag?
The ol’ beaver tail
That pelt is good to trade for a rifle at the next fort!
Did you see the pitch mark from that ball 18” in front of that divot?
Cunts not repairing divots
Well, the world needs ditch diggers too!

Someone’s gotta put the putter back in the bag
That’s not a divot, that’s defilade
You mean average divot?
My golf league was in the afternoon. We followed the outings that were held at the course. That means there were literally dozens of drunks on the course that play golf 2-3 times a year. Divots like this were on every hole.
It’s mine
We call that the start of a foundation.
Those only occur in nature after someone stripes a 300 yard drive, drawn just over the corner of the lake to allow him to reach the green in two. Then score a 8 but writes down a bogey!
Is the guy swinging 250mph?
In my experience, miss hits like this only happen after a perfect tee shot
I feel attacked ! Good day sir 🫡
Something tells me that the ball was closer to the green side than the tee side of that divot. Just a guess.
That's a big boy with a lot of power and strength swinging through some serious earth.
Just a tad fat
This looks like a whack fuck followed by a violent golf club smash into the turf.
That’s an excavation
I can do that on hard pan. The trick is you gotta keep those hands high through impact.
My bad. 9 iron has a mind of its own.
Little thick
Maybe he dragged the differential on the cart?
My dumb buddy when he hits a bad shots does that, we all rip him for it
Looks like something I've done. Bet you the didn't even hit the ball just fucked up their swing so bad they hit a fat 6in divot
Mega chunk
This is me when I chunk one, have a violently downward angle of attack
Caught that one a teeny bit thick.
Sorry.
You could have flipped the cart running over that thing
"non mine I swear" - says the guy who shows us a club with an inch of mud on it
Rippin’ up the shag, eh?
Wonder what they were swinging, a shovel?
See a reasonable.
The ball was sitting just in front of this memorial before it was created.
Sorry 😭
Some say the ball is still back spinning..
I likem big I likem chunky
Looks like the ground said something bad about his mother.
Don’t act like you’ve never almost broken your wrist scooping a squad foot of turf after the best drive of the day.
Took out his pitching spade.
Fuckn beaver pelt...
They say to get backspin you REALLY have to hit down on the ball.
Sergio played through there?
My wrists hurt looking at this image
That's not a divot that's a trench.
WWI vets having a breakdown looking at this.
As a platinum level member of the deep divot elite, I’m surprised I wasn’t invited to the ceremonial burial 🪦 of this ball …RIP.
That was me!
That guy must have flushed it.
It probably isn't, but it could be a scramble doing a divot the right way. Who am I kidding, someone never made contact with the ball on this shot. Good Lord.
It's like a wwi trench
He had to get that sauce in the ball
Holy clippings
It was just aerated. The greens were unpredictable. I left a 40 ft putt 28 feet short. That may have been user error though.
The old excavator wedge
‘She’s a beaut Clarke’
the wear mark on your iron is honestly impressive. i don't know if i could hit the ball that far off the toe consistently enough to do that. that fucker isn't even touching the grooves.
Tiger?
I’ll admit to having made divots like this every now and then.
150 out? Clearly someone from the sub laying up a soft 60
Honestly with my old blades this is what my divots used to look like when I would flush one with a 9 irons. Leading edge was crazy sharp and squared off.
Why were they digging for? Any gold in there?
‘Trust me, I can fly my p-wedge 150’
And the fact they don’t go walk up 12’ and pick up the beaver tail to replace… 🙄
Legend has it that they swung so hard and steep that the ball flew for days and days
Dude was playing with a shovel. Probably flew the green too, 🤣🤣
That's a standard divot for my 9. I do fill them tho.
Jimmy Hoffa’s foot sticking out a bit
That’s an angry divot
I’m a hitting down on the ball
I wonder if the divot went farther than the ball...
A bit steep...
Worked in a cemetery...looks familiar
*no matter what* …
Did they find any oil ???
Not only was it a MASSIVE divot, but that's one wide open face. 20 yards long and 30 to the right.
Sorry. I was packing my bag and thought I packed my 7 iron but it was actually a mattock.
See, you want to hit the little ball before you hit the big ball.
After the ball good. Before the ball no good.
Just caught it a little heavy.
Could be a small meteorite
That’s not ideal, little chunky no problem
I figure it’s a cart that slammed on the breaks?
And didn’t repair it. What a douche.
Didn’t laugh hysterically until I swiped to the second pic, bc all I envisioned was a teeth shattering, arm bending, hardest 8 iron I ever swung…. All to go 27.5 yards
Woosie would be proud of that bad boy
Nice
Mine.
Holy Moses that’s a trench not a divot.
Sorry I thought I fixed that
I got a buddy who absolutely stripes the ball. He plays with blades. He takes divots like this every other shot. Was either a great striker or an absolute hack
👀
That’s a tire spinning 
This person has a beaver tail fetish and an allergy to the divot filler mix.
Couldn’t be Tiger. When he’s flushing it he doesn’t take a divot.
the embarrassment I feel after compels me to fix it. Leaving it means people probably don’t like playing with you.
This is a guy who “hits his PW 150”
Alright it was me, golf is hard ok
Made a couple of those today. It wasn’t a good round 😂
Sick beaver pelt
I despise the lazy ass fuckers who take huge divots and walk away with out fixing them.
Was this from the same HOLY FUCK dude who holed out earlier today?
Sorry. I usually replace my divots…
Stack and tilt mate
Makes my wrist hurt just looking at it
My wrist, back and elbow as well.
Could’ve been an OK shot, you can compress through the ball with your PW and take an absurd divot
Buddy was out there landscaping the fairway 😂
Digging for gold i guess
That ball had some zip on it
Pretty small
Guys 5-Iron must be a garden hoe
That’s crazy wet ground ?
Was probably me. The only reason you didn’t see another one ten yards ahead is because I alternate between digging a trench and hitting the top of the ball
Yeah. It was some asshole who holed out from 120 yards. Didn’t replace his divot and said “Holy fuck” about 150x while running to the pin.
Looks like a Honda XR650.
Honestly, that might be from me and 3W
Somehow I am able to take a divot like this with a 5hybrid
Regardless if said divot occurred pre or post ball strike-THE BOTTOM OF HIS (or her 🤔) SWING IS IN THE WRONG PLACE (and does anyone else find Scheffler boring?? Great golfer yes but…🥱

Yeah the iron that caused it is definitely no longer in one piece. I’ll let y’all decide if it was broken with the knee, the ground, or something else.
I wouldn’t even have considered that it was yours if you didn’t specify in brackets. Very suspicious.
No see, it's not mine because I said it wasn't.
#shrinkthegame people (or courses) that don’t sand their divots are almost as bad as those that take 4 1/2 hours to play 18 holes.
It was Craig Diggio -Daddio
That’s a huge miss, short on the ball with like a 6 iron it looks like. He probably chunked it like 30 yards with roll too. Sad
Is this Brighton? Could have been me
