It’s ironic that prior to the release of the magazine, the Tiger Woods sex scandal became public. The top layer of Woods was peeled away only to expose the real person. The phoney perception that he and his handlers built has now come tumbling down.

President Obama should realize that golf has a 5 billion impact on our economy and accounts for 2 million jobs. How will Tiger’s disappearance impact golf and the Amercan economy? His “exit stage left,” may not be as devastating to golf as some may think ! We’re in store for new faces and hopefully a lot less fist pumps !

Too Much Thought

Believe it or not, the nature of golf is to hit more than a fair share of bad shots. Ben Hogan once said that he was happy if he hit 4 really solid shots per round. Just make up your mind that you will be hitting bad shots, after all, aren’t they part of the game? Don’t try to make major swing corrections when playing, leave that to the pros and scratch golfers. Save your corrective abilities for the practice range, your time on the course will be much happier.
