Tiger. The greatest golfer of all time wrote this book at the young age of 21. Where most players at this age pay little to no attention to swing mechanics, Tiger gives insight into not only how he plays the game but what the game means to him. In an effort to inspire the masses into achieving and practicing the game they all fell in love. That is why I like this book.


Another relevant detail from the text:
Another relevant detail is Tigers’ “Tiger Secret NO.2 Dialing in my Distance”. Where Tiger tells the reader that instead of dialing in his distance out of a greenside bunker by opining/closing his clubface or changing how much sand you take, Tiger changes the length of his follow through.

One relevant detail from the text:
One relevant detail from the text is ”I Aim for the Toe of the Club”. In this text, as Tiger will go to explain. One of his “Tiger Secrets” is when chipping and needing to stop the ball quickly, hit the ball off the toe. It kind of deadens the Shot and you know its going to ball up close to where it lands.
