"Part of this saga makes me feel like I’m in high school again. Woods and Foley probably aren’t going 'steady’' yet. They’re likely just 'seeing each other.'"
/Sean Martin all but wonders if Tiger and Sean Foley will be updating their Facebook relationship status to let us know they are working together after Tuesday's press conference.
But on a serious note, Martin observes this:
In a news conference Tuesday, Woods said he’s been trying to limit his head movement on his backswing, “so that I can start going down the line again, start using my legs again properly. I feel like . . . I can use my legs and my rotation the way that I know I can.”
“Leg drive’’ and “rotation’’ are two key principles of Foley’s teaching. He’s hardly the first person to emphasize these principles. But he focuses on them more than most. Foley once told me that technology “was the death of the ballstriker,” partly because it lessened the need to compress the ball at impact.
Hey anyone who dares to talk about a side effect of technology must be good. Tiger, you have my blessing.
