Tiger Woods will go barefoot in Wales
First it was the red colour that used to haunt us, now it will be Tiger Woods walking bare foot at Celtic Manor. Is this is yet another superstition or is there is some logic behind it?
In a press conference on Friday, regarding his preparation of the Ryder Cup that is taking place at the twenty-ten course at the Celtic Manor, Wales in October, Tiger Woods revealed that, that he was going to go barefoot on the field to
remain in his form. Yes, this is kind of strange but this is the whole truth.
Tiger has been practicing with his coach Sean Foley, who happens to be the coach of Rory McIlory and Dustin Johnson as well. Sean has been helping Tiger with his swings and lately, Sean asked Tiger to practice barefoot. According to him,
it makes the balance better as the grass and the soil is the best source of balance. Apart from this, it makes the transfer of energy more quick and efficient, hence, affecting the ultimate shot.
Tiger Woods fell out of contention for the Tour Championship, which is taking place in Atlanta, at the East Lake Country Club. Only the top 30 players were allowed to make the cut in the championship, which is carrying a bonus of $35 million in prize money.
Although, Tiger jumped from 112th spot of the standings to the 42nd, in the last one month, he could not make it to the top 30 slot. Hence, he had to stay back home in Florida and practice with his coach to make his game even better.
Tiger was given the wild card from the Captain of the team, Corey Pavin on the basis of his performances. Tiger wants to do justice to Pavin’s expectations and is putting in all his efforts to prepare himself for the big challenge. Tiger can do that, as
after the divorce, he has all the time in the world.
According to Tiger, he has always worked hard and worked barefoot, but that was for a different reason. Then, he was working on his sock tan line and now he is working on his balance. He further told the press, that people frequently ask him regarding his
preparations for the Ryder Cup and he tells them, that he is working day and night to make it happen.
If Tiger wins the Ryder Cup, or a single match in it, then that will be his first major victory in the season.
Moreover, Tiger has been winless since November, 2009. Despite, facing lots of trouble in his personal life, Tiger always had his fan's support. This press conferences’ purpose was to thank his fans for their immense love and support.
Tiger is leaving for Wales on Sunday night and he is really looking forward to playing with the player whom his captain has chosen for him. Moreover, the other reason for leaving earlier is that, Tiger wants to see the course, so that, he can get ready to
conquer it.
When he was asked whether he would be able to learn and understand the course in few days, he answered with confidence, “Absolutely. We do that every week. That's our job”.
Tiger Woods is working really hard and that can be seen from his practice and determination. Moreover, this time he has learned to listen to what the coach says. Earlier, he has worked with Butch Harmon and Hank Haney. However, this time, he is picking up
Sean’s swings faster. Maybe, because he knows that this is the last tool left with him to break the spell of a long dry season.
Tiger is the number one and it is his determination and hard work, which makes him shine. Tiger will shine again but this time, he will be bare foot and in red.
