Como: “The idea of having a person rely on a teacher is bad.”
/Great stuff in the Monday's Golf World from Tim Rosaforte profiling Chris Como, Tiger's new swing consultant.
No matter what happens with Tiger's game, Como is a refreshing story, rising from the range picker at Westlake golf course to driving the country in a beat up car worth a smidgen of his Trackman.
Enjoy...
**The SI/golf.com Confidential kicked around the Chris Como hiring...
SHIPNUCK: I wish Tiger would have resisted the temptation. He's maybe the most naturally gifted player ever; he doesn't need a coach -- especially one who's into biomechanics and neuroscience -- he needs to find it on his own. Success will be to win a couple of Tour events and contend at one or two majors. Anything beyond that is a home run.
BAMBERGER: Woods doesn't have a new swing coach. He has, he said, a swing "consultant." I don't know a thing about Chris Como. But I find the language of this latest development, like the language of Woods' response to Jenkins, so needlessly self-important and pretentious, and for that I blame Woods. He's signing off on it.
