[O.B.Left]

Saw Tiger warm up on the short game area on Sunday of this year's Masters. He stormed over to the chipping green and chipped maybe 10 balls with a mid or short iron before he he started taking full swings and launching balls over the practice green. He was boiling mad and was obviously not hitting it where he wanted. His misses were all landing within about 2 yards of each other, so the crowd was entertained, but he and Hank seemed to be having a pretty heated conversation. At one point, Hank even grabbed Tiger's club and aggressively pulled it through the followthrough trying to get him to feel some exaggerated move. Not what you want to be working on or thinking 5 minutes before stepping onto the first tee of Augusta National on Sunday...

All that to say...maybe at next year's Masters Yoda will get that 5 minutes!

Man, I dont like the feel of things when an instructor grabs hold of my club. Sort of turns off the pressure points. Instant black out. Maybe for a visual or something but it kind of burns my backside too a little. And thats just me on a range. Cant believe anybody would do that to a golfer just before a tournament round, let alone the World Number One golfer on Sunday morning at Augusta. That takes some stones. Im thinking Tiger gave him a little lesson afterwards, maybe. I wonder who's backside was sore on Monday?

You might be right Bambam. About Tiger and Hank taking different (but parallel, hah) paths in the future. He did fire Butch when he thought they'd reached a saturation point. Something like "Im stuck", "Well dont get stuck", "Ya but Im stuck again and your gone". Or so it has been written anyways.

I got a feeling that Tiger will be o.k. though. Just a hunch.
