Well...Tiger proved me wrong....that's why he was also special....I reckon he still is 
Tiger is human, made some mistakes, hit the " bottom", then recovers...kudos to him...that's the "stuff of champions". Even if he never wins another....I respect that. |
Tiger is winning everything in sight......THEN one day his wifey smashes his windshield because he is cheating on her....FROM THAT MOMENT ON HE CAN NOT WIN ANYTHING NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES....He does this, he does that, he pushes himself to no avail...in that pushing himself he hurts himself...
He was not injured when his wife broke his windshield and started losing.
.so you can NOT BLAME AN INJURY FOR HIS LOSING.... Those injuries came LATER after the fact....Why because he was out of synch with himself...and was flopping around like a fish outa water trying everything he could think of to get back in the groove of being a God on the golf course. Call that trying tooo hard. It is only when he reconciled himself to being a mere mortal that he got back to basics.
To reconcile yourself you have to basically give up the ghost of ever winning again..you have to admit to yourself that you aint the greatest where your shyte don't stink. Tiger had a rep of not talking to people who didn't have piles and piles of money... You have to capitulate into despair before you can rebound...BTW that happens all the time in Equities...
There ain't nothin strange about this...it is the way it works if you are payin attention....SAVVY????
PS The physical issues
just compound the problems...it makes it more difficult to come back, because you now have a limitation on your physical ability where as before you did not... Now you have another factor to deal with..yet those limitations did not stop him from winning again now did it? So what changed? A reconciliation with himself.
