basis playing practiced regular tournament women
She's got to be a little nervous. The disadvantage she'll have is that the other women have been playing on a regular basis and she hasn't had a tournament in a while. She's practiced a lot, but that's never the same as a competitive tournament.
ability events gets guys helps ladder playing psyched raises seeing tour watching
Playing PGA Tour events makes her better. I think she gets psyched watching the guys and seeing their ability. It raises her level. It helps her up the ladder of improvement.
almost andy asked check himself hit kid knee knocked motion normally raising range stiff
Afterward we asked Andy -- who's normally pretty stiff for a kid -- to check the range of motion in his hamstrings by raising his knee to his chest. Well, Andy almost knocked himself out when his kneecap hit his chin. He was that loose.

decisions difficult
She has difficult decisions to make on every tee.
again difficult fields five game golf hawaii imagine later rhythm takes tough tournament weeks
It's very difficult to play a golf tournament as she did in Hawaii at the Fields Open, then come back five weeks later and try to play again at this level. It's tough to find any rhythm in your game when you have to do that. It's what makes what she's doing right now so remarkable. Imagine how well she will play when she takes up golf full-time.

They're silly, because they just point out how phenomenally advanced Tiger was, that he was able to find the right recipe very early on. It's a complex, almost mysterious thing. It's the physical game, but there are so many other elements. And maybe the key thing is how people figure their own path. See what works for them, and find it.
