Putting distance is one of the hardest things to accomplish on the green. Next time you’re out golfing, try this:
I read that when Tiger Woods was very young, his father used to tell him to pick the ball up and roll it towards the hole. If you are throwing a ball to someone else to catch you don’t fill your head with complicated sums trying to workout the distance, you simply look at your target and gauge the amount of power you need to apply to send the ball to the recipient.
By rolling the ball to the hole you are using those same instincts. Try it, if it works then attempt to hit the ball with equal power using your putter. More.

This makes child number 2 for the happy couple, Tiger Woods and wife Elin. Tiger injured his knee earlier this year. It looks like some of his “healing” time was spent making his family ever bigger.
“Elin is feeling great and we are both thrilled,” Woods said. “While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin.”
On his website, Tiger Woods said Elin is expecting “sometime in late winter”, not getting any more specific than that.
Tiger Woods was an only child (despite being adopted), and he hated it so much that he decided not to have just one child. Mission accomplished! Now I wonder how many more they’re going to have. This world can only take so many pro-golfing-children. More.

Tripp Isenhour is well-liked among most golfers, but environmentalists don’t like him at all. While he was filming an instructional golf video, a red-shouldered hawk just wouldn’t shut up. So Tripp Isenhour started hitting golf balls at it until he finally hit and killed it.
The problem is, the red-shouldered hawk is a endangered, and therefore protected, species. Here’s what Isenhour said about the incident: “As soon as this happened, I was mortified and extremely upset and continue to be upset,” Isenhour said in a statement issued through his management company, SFX Golf. “I want to let everyone know there was neither any malice nor deliberate intent whatsoever to hit or harm the hawk. I was trying to simply scare it into flying away”. There’s a big problem with his story though.
The people who were there with him testified that he shot multiple shots at the red-shouldered hawk before hitting it. He even bragged, saying “I’ll get him this time”, so you can see how sincere his apology really was.
In the end, the judge slapped him with 40 hours of community service. He got off very easy considering the testimony against him. Maybe set him up as a target on the driving range for 40 hours. More.
