TIGER'S CONCEPT OF TIME: "FOUR HOURS HITTING
BALLS, NOT MUCH"

Quote of the week so far at Carnoustie came from no less a person that Tiger Woods.
Asked how much time a day on average he devotes to hitting balls in practice when he is limbering up for a major, he answered without the hint of a smile:
"Hitting balls? I don't spend that much time hitting range balls. At the most, maybe three or four hours, not that much."
No-one asked him how long he spent on gym work. The answer would probably have been along the same lines.
Most professional golfers are golfers. Tiger is an athlete-golfer or golfer-athlete.
When Butch Harmon was his coach, he once said that not only could Tiger beat the field at golf but if it were an athletics contest, Tiger could also beat them at running (sprinting or middle distance), high or long jump, throwing the javelin, putting the shot, weight-lifting, arm-wrestling, and so on.
We believe him.
