Latest on the "Phee-nom"...

You have heard by now that Tiger will not be back until sometime in June due to knee surgery.

Now that makes his #2 at the Masters even more significant.

How many golfers would be able to progress on the fourth day of any tounament comming from behind to wind up in second place with a painful knee injury? Nil to none, I would wager. And that knee was bothering him before the Masters even started!

And when he does come back in June what are the odds on him continuing his incredible and enviable position of number one in the World?

Pretty good, I would say. The man can do it all and he is learning more and more with each tournament. He's not done yet.

I would bet he will carry on for more than twenty more years barring any serious unexpected injury or illness.

Sure is nice to be around when history is being made!

Meanwhile: Are you practicing your chipping and putting? When you practice, plan to divide your time like 20% on driving and mid-irons and 80% on chipping and putting. If you are not making progress, please take my advice and take a lesson from a good pro or get the Dave Pelz DVD on the short game.
