 Tiger
Woods på offensiven
27.09 Tiger Woods:
Endret svingen - klar for Ryder
Cup
Tiger Woods har vært gjennom et tøft år. Hans golf har vært skadelidende. Nå er
ekteskapet slutt. Nå er det golf som står i fokus for verdens beste spiller. Han
har endret en del på teknikken. Det er langt fra første gang. Golfsvingen er i
stadig utvikling, selv for de beste spillerne. Alderen kan man ikke kjempe mot.
Da må visse justeringer gjøres - også av den grunnen.
Tiger har ikke vært spesielt aktiv på sin hjemmeside det siste året. Nå skriver
han om at han gleder seg til Ryder Cup og er klar for å gjøre sin del av jobben.
Tiger ser ut til å være på offensiven igjen.
Nå kommer han med en sak som kanskje flere har interesse av å lese:

Gearing up for the Ryder CupI'm excited about going over
to Wales and competing
By Tiger Woods
I leave for the Ryder Cup on Sunday night and am really looking forward to
getting to Wales. I'm excited about going over there and competing and playing
with whomever my captain puts me out there with. I've never missed a match, but
we'll see what happens. I just want to get over there and see the golf course
and be ready come Friday.
Can we learn the course in a few days? Absolutely. We do that every week. That's
our job.
Contrary to what some people might think, I don't feel extra pressure or
incentive as a captain's pick to perform. The goal is to win every match you're
put out there so you can help the team retain the Cup.
I'm not sure who I will play with; it keeps changing. I just have to take care
of my own business and be ready to play.
I've worked with Sean Foley a few times since the BMW Championship, and I'll
work with him again this weekend. I get more comfortable with each passing
session. More than anything, I can understand what the fix is going to be after
a poor shot. That's the biggest thing. I can get it to where I'm hitting it good,
but also when I hit it poorly, how do I fix it right away. That's part of
learning a new system, just like it was with Butch Harmon and Hank Haney.
To be honest, I'm picking up Sean's swing changes faster than I thought I would,
but I still have a long way to go. I'm definitely hitting the ball farther than
I ever have, just because the transfer of energy is more efficient. We're just
going to keep working.
Sometimes he has me hit shots barefoot, just to work my balance. I've done that
before. The only difference is I used to practice barefoot to work on my sock
tan line. Now, it's for a different reason.
As far as this year, I'm excited about the future going forward. I'm really
excited about the prospects of the tournaments coming up in China, Australia and
the Chevron World Challenge in Southern California. Hopefully, I can put myself
in contention to win. We've got a wonderful field for Chevron -- a lot of the
top players are competing -- and it'll be a great week that raises money for
kids.
I want to congratulate my friend Arjun Atwal for winning the Wyndham
Championship. He's worked awfully hard to get his game back and battled through
shoulder and knee problems. I'm proud of him.
I also want to congratulate David Chung of Stanford for reaching the finals of
the U.S. Amateur. I watched the whole match. I thought he played good but made a
couple mistakes here and there, but David and Peter Uihlein both did. It doesn't
take much, especially at Chambers Bay.
I've gotten some grief for wearing white belts on the golf course. It's just a
sign of the times. The first time I wore one was on Saturday at the U.S. Open,
and I played pretty well.
People keep asking me how I'm doing, and I have to say it's night and day from
how I started the season at the Masters. There's no comparison. My family and I
have gone through some pretty tough times. I've said it many times, but I really
mean it: The fans have been great. Thanks for your support.
Take care, and I'll talk to you after the Ryder Cup.
