It’s not Tiger’s touch, it’s his mental game
In his first round at the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational Tiger Woods shot one of his worst scores ever at the tournament: A 4-over 74.

The Golfer of Your Dreams: Can It Be…You?
Do you remember the joy you felt when you first made the green of a long par 5 with your second shot? I can clearly remember that moment as it happened after I had spent about 10 minutes searching for my ball in the rough around the green—where I expected my ball would be based on past experience.
I was just about to call my ball lost when I noticed my golf partner pointing and laughing to himself. I was on the green in 2. It was a great moment for me. I don’t know about you, but the only thing better than that feeling would be the ability to make shots like that expecting them to end up on the green rather than anyplace but.
