July 6, 2005 - "Fore" Styles To Improve Your Golf Game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever wish you could get inside the minds of the world's greatest golfers? You might wonder, "How do I compare to the 'best' mental golf style?" A few obvious questions might be "What is Annika's style?" or "What is Tiger's style?" How do they approach the game similarly or differently than you.
You might chalk it up to incredible talent and work ethic. Both Annika and Tiger had great mentors in their youth, too - Pia Nilsson for Annika and his father for Tiger. But rather coaching them to have a "best" mental style, they took their natural mental styles and used them to their best advantage.
