If anyone recorded the ESPN Monday playoff, I have a quick question about the pre-tee off comments concerning Tiger Woods preparation for the Open. It is a minor detail so you would have to check the recording--it was in the first 15-20 minutes I think.

Thanks.

What's the question?

Hello Bump-n-Run,

Just before the playoff started on Monday, they showed a short clip of young Tiger and either Johnny Miller or Earl Woods I believe made a comment about the pre-round routine of young Tiger. Something that connected it to the US Open. This was not the clip showed over and over about Earl Woods saying that Tiger will never meet anybody else as mentally tough. This clip showed Tiger approaching the tee box as a very young man at a golf course with the voice over.

The clip I am talking about was showed only once on the ESPN coverage before play began. I greatly admire Earl Woods and missed exactly what was said. Something like he started every practice round as if it was the US Open even as a young man.

I think it was in the first 15-20 minutes of the ESPN coverage.

Anyway, I would just like to know exactly what the advice was that Earl taught Tiger about pre-round routines--I could not hear what was said since everybody in the club was yelling so loudly for either Rocco or Tiger.

Thanks, minor question, but I would still like to know what Tiger's Father said and not a single person I know recorded the last day--including me!

Thanks.

I'll take a look, but I believe I missed the preround coverage...

What I heard was Earl would drop his bag of clubs in the middle of Tigers backswing to distract him. He felt it would make him mentally tough and it did. Thats why you can see him abruptly stop his swing in the middle.

yup... thats what i heard.. he would then make a good shot and shot earl a look..

I don't have that part recorded...

No, not that one. It was the short clip before they teed off. Pre-round routine advice, not the ad about mental toughness.

Amazing nobody recorded the ESPN portiion of the playoff. I called about 20 friends, none recorded it. I think everybody stayed home to watch this thing instead of going to work.

I didn't start the recording until the 2nd hole... missed anything pre-round.

not everoyne stayed home and watched it! I watched it from work :)

i played 9 holes, then i watched it at the course.

Looks like this one will go the way of the old tiger 6-iron nike commercial that I have been looking for for years.

The spot. Nike Golf
