"You have to Admire
Tiger"
Does the idea
of love your competition seem strange to you? If
so, it is because many individuals have been
programmed to view their competition as their
enemy. One, who is to be despised or burned in
effigy at a campus pep rally or tail gate party.
Of course, this does not hold true for the
gentlemen's game of golf.
You have
probably heard many times that you are your own
worst enemy. Your biggest competition is with
yourself, not Tiger Woods. The closer you come to
perfecting yourself and your performance, the
more likely you will win any competition you
enter. Winning is merely a by-product of
perfecting your performance to reach its highest
level.
Tiger Woods
opponents may not love him, but they have to
respect and admire what he has accomplished.
After starting off strong as a professional
golfer, Tiger tapered off as he worked on
improving the weak parts of his game. His game is
so strong now that he has raised the standards of
professional golf to an even higher level.
Your
obligation to yourself is to strive for
perfection. Your obligation to your competition
is to help them reach perfection by exposing
their weakness in the competitive arena. It is
your solemn responsibility to beat your opponent
within the rules to help them raise their
standards to exceed yours.
Your
opponent's role is to return the favor by
exposing your weaknesses by doing his or her best
to beat you. At this level of understanding, you
have to admire Tiger Woods.

"My game had
improved since reading your book and applying
your Mental Tips. Last year was my first year of
golf. When I applied your techniques, I
immediately took 10 strokes off my game. I am
also able to get my game back on track after a
"bad" hole. Thank you for taking the
time to write this book. Not only has it helped
in my golf game, but in other aspects of my life
as well! Thanks again."
