Has Tiger Lost His Biggest Fan?
/He crashes into a tree, gets away with a DUI, loses his family, still drops F-bombs, but based on what some of you emailed and texted, has Tiger lost Charlie "There is no crying in Golf Channel Post Game Coverage" Rymer over the loogey affair?
Apparently, according to multiple readers, Rymer offered this today on Golf Channel:
"I hate when kids see things like [Tiger spitting]."
Meanwhile Rich Lerner reports that Tiger landed at 5 a.m. and was on the range by 8 to get in some time with Sean Foley before his instructor flew off to LA. Foley remains positive about his student.
And to those who’ve wondered if making swing changes at 35 is somehow tougher than at 25, Foley offers a new age defense.
“If you study neuroplasticity,” he explained, “there’s not a whole lot of evidence to support the old adage that people can’t learn new things as they age. People can change when they’re 80.
“And we’re not talking about a huge change. It’s a conceptual change. When you hit 35 percent of your fairways it can’t be a whole lot of fun to play. We’re trying to get it where he can drive it better. The distance is coming back. And the accuracy will get better.
“We’re piecing the puzzle together nicely. It’s all been very positive. I’m happy with his understanding of what he needs to do.”
