Closest I come to golfing is skeet shooting which also relies on the consistent calm application of technique. I can’t imagine that tantrums improve your game.
Given his upbringing, I think Tiger to some extent hates golf but can’t walk away either as so much of his identity is based on it.
All wild speculation on my part.
You wouldn't think, would you? But, he certainly has them. I laugh when I hear a commentator or sports journalist talk about Tiger's "Zen-like" ability to focus. Tiger's a lot of things, but Zen isn't one of them. I have seen him - in person - lose him mind when he hits a bad shot. It's amazing how well the networks to do bury the broadcasting of them.
LOL. I can just see after a miss slamming your $3K over and under on the ground.
I saw a video of Tiger as a very young child with his Dad on a Tv program showing how he could put the ball.
I think he was only three, and I remember thinking, I bet he grows up to hate the game.
It becomes a job, instead of a hobby.
Are you any good at skeet shooting? I find it hard to be consistent. Did you take lessons or anything?
Ok found it. He wasn’t putting, but he was even younger than I thought - only 2. He was on the Mike Douglas show.
