Woods’ advice to young golfers

Tiger Woods was in conversation with Triple M’s “Hot Breakfast” when he discussed how beginners can get better at golf in the quickest way. He said, “To get better, I would say more than anything try to make little swings and build up, make bigger swings but hit the ball in the middle of the face,”

Woods added, “That’s something I stress with every single junior golfer and every amateur, start with a little pitch shot… If you can find the middle of the face consistently, your game is going to improve by so many shots.” The golfer is an expert at hitting the ball right in the middle of its face. Woods also has a great experience when it comes to hitting long shots as well as playing an amazing short game.
