you can be aggressive with
the comebacker and knock
it in the cup without any
u nc er t a i nt y.
You can’t look at lag put-
ting as if it’s giving up on a
potential birdie or better. It’s
a valuable short-game skill.
This is especially true for us
at major championships, but
don’t dismiss the value of
two-putting even when all
you’re playing for is pride.
I’ve had to be conservative on
greens a ton of times—and
I’ve done OK (wink wink).

f you’re curious
what my practice
sessions are like, you
can watch one thanks
to my new Undercover
Lesson video, which
is part of the Golf Digest
Schools library. Go to
Golfdigest.com/TigerUCL.
We filmed it at my home
course, the Medalist Golf Club
in Hobe Sound, Fla. Standing
next to me (above) is my buddy
Rob McNamara. Rob kept me
company for the video,
because he often acts as
my second pair of eyes when
I’m practicing. I hit a bunch
of shots using everything
from wedge to driver that
are tracked by TopTracer,
which displays ball flights
and data in real time. I was
hitting it flush that day, which
I think you’ll see and hear.
