The Big Miss Here’s a list of the greatest golf coaches who spent time coaching Tiger Woods.
Hank Haney provides a fascinating insight without adding embellishments into Tiger’s complicated personality.
Although Tiger is highly praised, coaches must be honest about assessing the obstacles that prevent even the best from reaching their potential.
Hank Haney’s track record is an impartial evaluation that proves he is among the best golf coaches today. He is candid in his account of how he spent time coaching the best golfers. It should be noted that he does not take undeserved credit for his coaching experience and isn’t ‘over-the top’ with personal references.
Surprised to find out that Mr. Haney had rated Tiger’s short game “mediocre”. This was more due to Tiger’s management skills than his natural ability. Woods rose to the rank of one the top 10 short gamers in the tour under Haney’s guidance.
In The Big MissA lot of humanity is involved in the project. Haney served as Tiger’s manager during the worst moments in his personal life, from his broken leg and career to his abuse/treatment of his family.
Haney is a creditable man. He doesn’t take cheap judgments and even recorded some of the faux pas that he made during these difficult times in Woods career.
A surprising surprise in The Big MissThe nature of Tiger and Phil Mickelson’s rivalry is quite clear. This professional rivalry is normal between the two most successful golfers.
What was less evident than the public face that Tiger presented is Haney’s description about the relationship between Mickelson and Tiger.
Haney felt that Tiger’s insensitivity to the differences between them and the public was a source of frustration. Phil is a far more engaging person than Tiger, and has a much better relationship with his fans.
Although Haney didn’t go into detail about the causes of the dislike, he said that it wasn’t jealousy but a style issue that Tiger found annoying.
He takes the time to respond to critics about his coaching methods. Coach Haney believes he shares many of the same traits with Tiger, and that this drives them to find valid improvements.
Haney is clearly impressed by Tiger Wood’s skills and considers the time he spent coaching Tiger Wood the most memorable time of his career.
In general, I was satisfied with my experience. The Big MissThis is a wonderful glimpse into the lives of two great golfers who made a difference in elevating the game.
