butch care changed great pleasing quite
We changed quite a bit. That doesn't take anything away from Butch Harmon. They did great things. The only person I care about pleasing is Tiger, not the critics.
course difficult problem rough
The rough is very, very difficult and the course is long. Very long. It won't be a problem for Tiger, but it will be for a lot of players.
ask catch improve people thinks understand
People ask when he's going to get there. They don't understand that there is no 'there.' You keep improving. He thinks that if he doesn't, someone else will improve and catch him.
asks calls help phone thinks tiger woods
If Tiger Woods calls you up on the phone and asks you to help him, ... you've got to think he thinks you know something.
keeps
He just keeps getting better and better and better. I don't think there's a 'there' there.
absolutely attitude capable golf good wants
His attitude to his golf is the same as his attitude to life, ... He wants to be just as good as he is absolutely capable of being.
pleasing worried
I know it comes with the territory. The only person I'm worried about pleasing is Tiger.
guy woods months
You just don't go in there with Tiger Woods and say, ‘Oh, do this.' Sean Foley was quoted, a month after he worked with Tiger, as saying ‘You can't get this guy to listen to anything.'
friendship littles woods
I know I was a great friend to Tiger Woods. But when you have a relationship that's involves business and friendship - and the business part comes to an end - things always get a little blurry.
ideas way realizing
One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.
woods defense easy
Well it's not easy being Tiger Woods on the course. It's not easy being Tiger Woods off the course. In his defense, it's not easy being Tiger Woods.
simple thinking swings
Does anyone actually think I'm going to call Tiger Woods and tell him what to do with his swing one day, and he's going to go out and do it, simple as that? It doesn't work like that.
thinking shoes people
I've been ripped for being too sensitive, but I do think people need to walk in another person's shoes before they accuse them of being too sensitive.
feelings problem plant
My feeling was, you plant some seeds. If they grow, great; if they don't, you don't take it personally. Not my problem; I just kept planting. Just like a farmer.
