I know how you got the yips.
Specifically, he has the chip yips. One of the analysts at the Golf Channel says he’s never seen a pro with the chip yips ever get rid of them.
His body is broken since they started testing for steroids.
When it comes to minority golfers, I had a lot more respect for Lee Elder, Jim Dent, and even the pioneer black golfer, Charlie Sifford. All these guys played through more adversity and discrimination than Tiger could have dreamed about.
Golf may be the last gentleman’s game. And you can’t buy your way into being a gentleman, no matter how much money you make or how many trophies you take home.
“His body is broken since they started testing for steroids.”
His spirit is broken since his wife took a 5 iron to his a$$.......
Yip.
That too!
So, you can get rid of the yips, but I had to completely change what I was doing and that changed my mental approach too. The yips are completely mental.
Yes, I've been playing golf since I was 8 yrs old. So that's about 52 yrs now. I can't ever get enough of it.
In his attempt to keep getting bigger and stronger both naturally and artificially Woods body has rebelled and broken down.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. /s
I come from a golfing family. My Mom was Cleveland Women;s Champion a few times. Me? I’d rather watch the grass grow!
Sam Sneed had them too although not steroid induced.Steroids are worse than opioids.
The media will never tell the truth!
During his rehabs, Tiger chose to use a Canadian doctor who had a record of smuggling PEDs into US.
Once the PGA began testing for PEDs, Tiger never won another major.
Connect the dots...
Care to share a link or a search term for the specific video?
My question too.
Golf is an addiction. True story.
My father a great golfer put a club in my hand at 6 or 7, and they all said I had a natural swing - I grew up playing, but hated the game because it kept my father from me. When he wasn’t working, he was on the links. But my business required that I take clients to play - top Fortune 500 execs.
I saw how addictive the game was to many.
One day I went to a nearby public driving range before a major client outing at my country club almost next door to my home. Coming off it was an old friend, former drug addict/dealer, former president of really bad biker gang who had been as rough as they get, but became a Christian in the ‘70’s.....carrying a new set of Pings, Ping bag, the whole 9 yards. “Wayne! When did you start playing golf?!?!” “4 years ago. I play almost every day.” I probed more knowing he had a backhoe business.
He then told me how addicted he was, had a 4 handicap, took lessons every week, his playing was killing his income, etc. I said, “Wayne - you ARE addicted!”
He said, “Yes - I used to be addicted to cocaine and heroin. Now I’m addicted to golf. And I can tell you golf is WORSE!”
TRUE story....Wayne is now with the Lord........(not saying.....)
my question too - sometimes the wedge is like a live snake in my hands.
reminds me of an old joke:
One Fall day, Bill was out raking leaves when he noticed a hearse slowly drive by. Following the first hearse, was a second hearse which was followed by a man walking solemnly along, followed by a dog, and then about 200 men walking in single file.
Intrigued, Bill went up to the man following the second hearse and asked him who was in the first hearse.
“My wife,” the man replied.
“I’m sorry,” said Bill. “What happened to her?”
“My dog bit her and she died.”
Bill then asked the man who was in the second hearse.
The man replied, “My mother-in-law. My dog bit her and she died as well.”
Bill thought about this for a while. He finally asked the man, “Can I borrow your dog?” To which the man replied, “Get in line.”
