Is there anyone in the world who does not know the name - "Tiger Woods"?
I doubt it!
Folks, we are looking at the Charles Lindbergh of the golfing world! He is so far ahead of the other greats of golf history. For instance, I understand that for the last 12 months he has earned - from tournament winnings alone - over $77,000,000!
That number is greater than the earnings of Jack Nicklaus's entire career! And he is only five wins short of Nicklaus's all time record of 18 wins of major professional golf tounaments!
Tiger has passed up the great names of Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan.
Not a big Tiger Fan? I suggest you visit his website.
Oh, by the way, Tiger's longest streak was 36 wins ... when he was 11 years old.

Balance Your Balls
Do you balance your golf ball before you begin play?
What - you say?
You mean you do not balance your golf balls? Maybe not if you are
Tiger Woods - because Nike makes balanced balls for him, I suppose.
Dave Pelz convinced me that a non-balanced ball is unpredictable with regard to knowing whether the ball will roll online or not. My missed putts - which just rimmed the hole without going in - seemed to decrease when I balanced my ball.
The only ball I found to be balanced was made by Wilson - Wilson "True" I think it was called. I found a ball balancer call a "Spin-Go" at my local golf store. I found that all the balls I had were not balanced, regardless of price. Even Pro VIs were not balanced.
So now, whenever I buy any balls, I test them all. I always look for a distance ball because I need distance.
I need a balanced ball because I need to hole my putts!
Once the ball is balanced all you need to do is align the balance mark on the ball with the line you want to start the ball on, take your best putting grip and stance and let 'er go!
