Tiger Woods

All is good in the world, Tiger is playing again. I caddied at a local golf course when I was 13-14. I was there every day in the summer carrying golf bags [I carried doubles] around the golf course. This was a old money country club, you could only join if you were invited, than you had the pleasure of paying about 30000-40000 dollars to join and a big fee every month to be a member. You got to remember this was in 1959-60 when money was worth something. So this was no small potatoes. I got 12 dollars a round 6-7 days a week. Big money for a 13-14 year old. Than I worked on course year round while going to high school. I did this until I went into the service. Never played but followed it all my life. I say all this to make a point that I have been involved in golf a long time. I was sitting watching TV one afternoon killing time when I saw Tiger for the first time, it was 1998. Since than every time he has played I have tried to watch, just to see how he wills a ball into the hole is a lesson in will power. He is probably the most intense athlete there is. I have seen him make shots that no golfer could ever think about much less make. 1998,1999, 2000 were the huge years for him. Than he decided to remake his swing and had some down years [for him down years] now has finally got it where he wants it. It will be fun watching and just see how well he does.
