Tiger Woods REVEALS The Mindset Behind His GREATEST Shot..
Welcome back to Sporting Focus. Of all the incredible shots Tiger Woods has hit over the course of his career, there are a few that stand out above all else. His 3-wood on the 14th hole during the second round of the 2000 Open Championship at St Andrews, which he would go on to win by eight shots. "When I made contact, I had the sweetest feeling in golf," Woods wrote. "I felt absolutely nothing. The ball never left its line. Perfect swing, perfect shot, perfect result."
It was that shot that inspired Tiger to write an entire instruction tip about it during the July 2001 edition of Golf Digest, which I found while diving through the Golf Digest archive the other day (you can find that edition and more for yourself right here). His hope was that by sharing the advice that helped him hit that 3-wood shot so well, it would help other golfers do the same. Here's how. Start with your setup, Though the crux of the tip focuses on his swing thought—which we'll get to—it's important to note that he takes time to talk about the importance of his setup. "I set up the same as for a driver, with the ball inside my left heel and my upper body slightly tilted behind the ball," he says. Swing thought: "Bottom of your swing at the ball," "I have a single swing thought," Woods wrote. "Make sure the bottom of my swing is where the ball is." It's an interesting and important thought: Even though Tiger's setting up the same way, he's not hitting up on the ball the same we he would with his driver when his ball is teed up. He's trying to bottom out his swing exactly where the ball is. In related news, If there’s one thing, golfers of every level – from tour players to the most casual recreational golfers – are looking for, it’s hitting more greens in regulation. No statistic correlates more with golfers’ overall score, and everything is a means to that end. 1. Let the lie dictate your shot. 2. Get your number in the middle. 3. Find the ‘no go’ zone first. 4. Study the slope. 5. Pick a target behind the green. 6. Take an extra club. 7. Sometimes laying up is best. 8. Bogeys won’t kill you – doubles and triples do. 9. Don’t be a hero. 10. Remember the goal.
