Life is busy, golf is hard.  The combination usually spells bad results for the general population when it comes to golf.  I have been playing for years now and had periods where I would play two rounds and go to the range 3 or 4 days a week and I still couldn’t play well.  Then I broke down and got training, not just how to hit a good ball but why and how it all comes together.  It has changed everything, now I go out once a week and shoot scores I only dreamed about before. One other thing that helped was the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle when it comes to the short game.  I was trying to hit the pitch, sand, approach, and super flopper with the perfect trajectory every time I was close to the green.  Didn’t work, why?  I don’t get to hit 500 balls a day out of the sand, rough, fairway to get all four clubs working great.  So now I pitch with the pitch and send it up high with the sand… simple and effective.  Tomorrow I will test my new game verses a nemisis course of mine, Tara Golf and Country Club where course management is key.  I haven’t played there in a while because I hated playing the course, lots of water, tight fairways, hazards galore, yada..yada.  I will give a full course update after the round.

If there is one thing that we know about Tiger is that he lets his competitors know who is boss when the time is right.  65-64 are you kidding me?  There are a lot of guys who can score a low round like Tim Clark or Paddy Harrington but the consistency of Mr. Woods is amazing to me.  When he has a hot putter no one I repeat no one in history can beat him.  His power game matches anyone out there, his iron game is as good as anyone in history, throw in a short game even better than the magician Phil Mickelson, wow.  Do we even have to watch the weekend golf to know the winner?  We will anyhow because we will be watching the greatest golfer of all time take the first ever playoff with the strongest competition anyone has ever dealt with.  Amazing.
