A PROFESSIONAL
DOES NOT HESITATE
TO ASK FOR HELP
T
iger Woods is the greatest golfer in the world. Yet he
has a teacher; he works with Butch Harmon. And
Tiger doesn't endure this instruction or suffer through it—he
revels in it. It's his keenest professional joy to get out there
on the practice tee with Butch, to learn more about the
game he loves.
Tiger Woods is the consummate professional. It would
never occur to him, as it would to an amateur, that he knows
everything, or can figure everything out on his own. On the
contrary, he seeks out the most knowledgeable teacher and
listens with both ears. The student of the game knows that
the levels of revelation that can unfold in golf, as in any
art, are inexhaustible.
