It turns out that Tiger Woods is like most people.
Woods returned to his simulator league on Tuesday night, and there was a classical confusion with his teammates.
The 15 -time older winner was 199 yards from the pin, but strangely had a 56 degree wedge in his hand. Not even happy Gilmore could do that.

Woods asked his teammates again “how far” was, and it sure seemed that one of Woods’s teammates said “99”. In the golf course, it is not uncommon for caddies and players to leave the “hundred”. However, it is more difficult to judge the distance with a simulator than in the real course.
Apparently, Woods had its confirmed and stuck distance with the wedge, but her teammates were confused.
“It seems he has a wedge,” said Tom Kim.
Kevin Kisner added: “What are you doing?”
Too late: Woods swing and Kim laughed.

“What are you doing?” Kim asked.
Kisner added: “One 99. “
“You said 99 yards!” Woods replied. At this point, Kim and Kisner were on the floor laughing. “I just reached 99”.
“I heard 99 yards. So I grabbed my 56 and hit it 100 yards!” Woods told Marty Smith of ESPN.
Woods later called him “one of the most shameful moments of my golf career.”
“I just fell. That was shameful,” he added.
For Woods and his Jupiter Links Golf Club, it didn’t matter much, since the New York Golf Club won a 10-3 victory. At one time, NYGC led 8-0.

Woods returned to the course, or simulator, for the first time since his mother’s death. He was previously ready to play in Invitational Genesis last week, but said he was not ready yet.
