What, precisely, is it that Tiger did that had not been done before? How has he "redefined" golf, one of the most over-regulated pastimes ever invented?

>What Lance Armstrong did over the weekend was amazing but it did not redefine anything. He overcamse cancer, surgery and chemotherapy to make his way back into the sport. Coming back as he did should be lauded as a great personal achievement. He should be paraised by everyone for his determination and strength of character for never giving up.

>On a personal level, Lance deserves to be number 1 this past weekend. On a purely sports platform, he falls a distant second to Tiger.

In a 3 hour period on a nice afternoon, you can:

- play a round of golf, or

- jump on your bike, pick a scenic road route of 60 - 80 kms, with about 1000m of climbs total. Bear in mind this is a moderate to brisk club ride, certainly not race-worthy.

Pick two days, do both, then re-examine the question.
