How to hit golf balls like Tiger

Tiger Woods started hitting golf balls when he could barely walk; the toddler went on to play alongside legend Bob Hope. Growing up with golf clearly helps – but everybody wants to know how to hit golf balls like Tiger.

Tiger’s Coach

Tiger’s coach, Butch Harmon, worked with Woods when he was just 17 and he was taking part in the US Amateur Championships. Harmon watched Woods hit some golf balls after being introduced by Earl Woods.

“The first ball I ever saw Tiger hit, boy he was impressive.” Harmon has said. “He wasn't even wearing golf shoes, he was just wearing a pair of tennis shoes. He was very long for his age - not always as straight as he is now, but very long!”

Superior control of golf balls

Now, Woods is a lot straighter and has superior control over his golf balls. One thing Harmon said he taught Woods was to be less aggressive when he hit the golf balls, but he said his game, even at 17, has always been phenomenal.

As his coach Harmon has said that one of the great things about Woods is his openness to learn. Watching how the legends of the green hit their golf balls and his desire to constantly get better at the game all helped refine his natural talent.

Mental strength

Hard work, dedication and commitment of course have also played a huge part in developing his skill hitting golf balls, as well as his intimidating mental strength on the course.

Be Tiger Woods!

Now, there is one way you can hit your golf balls just like Tiger Woods – well almost! Woods has a videogame franchise and one of this year’s hot Christmas presents is the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series from EA. Even if you can’t hit your golf balls with the same precision and distance, you can for a short while pretend to be the world’s number one in virtual reality.

Greater control over golf balls

Advances in the game are the fact that players now not only have control on how hard they hit the golf balls, but they now have greater control on the angle the golf clubs hit the golf balls, as well as where that club is going to come into contact with the golf ball. All of the flops, slices and hooks from your real game can be reproduced in the virtual game. This helps capture the essence of golf – especially Tiger Woods’s game. As one reviewer said of the game: “Incredible athletic ability, focus, concentration and confidence all coming together so that a golf club can hit a golf ball in the appropriate way isn’t easy in real life and now it looks like it won’t be easy in Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06.”
