Tiger Woods didn't fire Hank Haney

Tiger Woods writes:

It's been nice to have some time off and hang out with my family. We had a good trip on the boat and did a little fishing. Mostly, it was just fun to get away.

Obviously, it's been a great year on and off the course. My eyes light up every time I see my new daughter. Sam Alexis is four-months-old and growing every day. She can grab things now and has held a golf club in her hands. I didn't start swinging a club until I was 11 months, so she's got seven months until that happens.

For Elin and I, it's all about the little firsts: Our first Halloween with Sam; our first Thanksgiving; our first Christmas. I've never been much of a holiday guy, but this is a pretty cool feeling. Everything has changed since we had Sam.

For once, I won't be traveling or competing on Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, and plan to watch some football on television. * * *

Contrary to rumors, I have not split with Hank Haney, my friend and swing coach. He's spent more time at home helping his wife deal with health issues, which is the way it should be. Besides, I've become much better at correcting my swing flaws, and that's ultimately where you want to get to with a coach-pupil relationship. Hank is still going to be my coach; that's not changing.

Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Im Going to the Ryder Cup

The notification came in the mail on Saturday. By random drawing, I was awarded two daily grounds tickets for the Wednesday practice round at the 37th Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

It wasnt my first choice. I applied for two week-long tickets. I didnt even remember my backup selection. Im not complaining, though. Its the Ryder Cup, after all.

I guess Id be a fool not to go. One of the reasons I applied for the random drawing is because I have family I can stay with in nearby Jeffersonville, Indiana. Maybe I can come up with some extra tickets. Id love to see at least one day of the actual competition.

I like the trip, too. Its a scenic drive across I-64 from my Virginia home to Louisville. Lush Virginia and West Virginia mountains followed by the foothills of eastern Kentucky and the rolling bluegrass and horse farms surrounding Lexington.

Ive won the golf lottery twice in the last few months. First, it was four practice round tickets to the Masters at Augusta National. And now a pair of practice round tickets to the Ryder Cup at Valhalla.

I like the way 2008 is shaping up.

Luke Swilor's Q School Diary: Stage 1, Day 4

(Photo courtesy of Luke Swilor)




Canadian Tour player Luke Swilor's second PGA Tour Q School run ended yesterday at Stage 1 at Dayton Valley Country Club in Dayton, Nevada. Following is Luke's final diary entry.



Stage 1, Day 4

The weather starting the day was perfect to make a comeback: cold and windy. I was feeling good about the day, and I hit two good shots into 10 (my first). Missing the six-foot birdie putt was a sign of things to come.

I then hit a good drive on the par-five 11th, but failed to make birdie. Bogey, bogey, double on the next three pretty much took me out of the game.

I tried to keep my chin up the rest of the way in. After such a bad stretch of holes, that can be tough, especially realizing what was lost. I managed to play decent on the front nine, but still ended with a 76.

The other scores showed just how perfect a day it was to make up ground. The qualifying number actually came down two shots, and ended up at -5.

The opportunity was there, but I didn't take it.

So here we are. It really is crushing to go home after a week like this. Really tough. There are a lot of good players who go home every year with this same feeling.

Getting over this can only make me tougher, but still...

Next year.

Luke Swilor's Q School Diary: Stage 1, Day 3

(Photo courtesy of Luke Swilor)




Canadian Tour player Luke Swilor has begun his second PGA Tour Q School run with Stage 1 at Dayton Valley Country Club in Dayton, Nevada. Follow along as Luke provides his diary entries.



Stage 1, Day 3

I didnt play bad today. I didnt play all that good, either. EVERY hard shot I had, I hit good. It was some of the easier shots I messed up. Youre not going to score well if you mess up the easy ones.

A bad drive on 10 (my first) cost me a bogey. I came back, though, and made birdie on 11 and 12. Nice. I floundered around for a bit after that. Hitting solid shots, nothing special, but solid. I wasnt making anything, but in control.

Then out of nowhere I three putted on 2 (my 11th). Back to even. Next I made par on the easy par-5 3rd. I got a bit of a bad break on my drive, and I couldnt get up and down. Missed opportunity. Then I failed to get up and down from the fringe on 6.

At this point, Im starting to get really nervous. I dont really know why, but I did. I havent been too nervous on the course this week, which is a bit odd, but once the tournament was beginning to look out of grasp, I felt it. The final three holes on the front nine are tough, and Im about to knock myself out of Tour School.

The pressure seemed to bring my game around. I made a good birdie on the tough 7th, then hit two great shots onto the par-5 8th green. I missed the 12 foot putt, but made another birdie. I hit four very solid shots on the tough 9th as well, for a solid par. And a saved round. 71, -1, -2 for the tournament.

Well, I thought I had saved it. Scores were LOW today, though, so Ive left myself in a tough position. The qualifying number actually moved to -7 today. The weather is supposed to get worse tomorrow, which should push scores up. Still, the number is now going to fall from -7 to -9 (most likely -8). So I have to shoot a very good round to have a chance.

I need birdies, and less mistakes. Ive learned a lot this week. I may expand upon this later, but in this type of situation you tend to learn more than during a normal tournament. I dont think I learned as much last year. I have a tough task tomorrow, but I feel like Im ready for it. My game is better than it has been the last two months, so Im ready to shoot a good score.

(Photo courtesy of Luke Swilor)




Canadian Tour player Luke Swilor has begun his second PGA Tour Q School run with Stage 1 at Dayton Valley Country Club in Dayton, Nevada. Follow along as Luke provides his diary entries.



Stage 1, Day 2

My ball striking definitely came around today. There are still some issues, mainly with my 3-wood tee shots, but Im now back to hitting some great iron shots. A lot of them, actually.

So I had the ball close to the hole quite often. I didnt make any putts though. After three straight birdies on my front nine, I missed a short putt for par after a great chip. I didnt hit a good putt, and I really wish I had that shot back.

On my back nine, I gave myself quite a few chances. I only converted one. I was hitting solid putts, but my reads were just a fraction off. Pretty frustrating to finally start hitting it good, and not being able to take advantage.

I made a really good up and down on 9 to end up with a -2 70. That leaves me at -1 after two days, with the qualifying number sitting at -4. So the final number is looking to be -7 or -8. The way Ive started hitting the ball, that number is by no means too far off.

One more thing. I need to take advantage of the par 5s the next two days. All four are reachable, but Im only -1 on them with just one birdie. That is a leak I cant afford anymore.

Hank Haney insists he wasn't fired by Tiger AND that Tiger's driving is OK

Rumors have been circulating that Tiger Woods canned his coach Hank Haney. The Golf Channel reports that the rumors aren't true. Hank Haney has even phoned in to say that Tiger Woods's driving is not the Achilles heel that everyone says it is.

"Haney, who is understandably sensitive to criticism that Woods has become less accurate with the driver in his hand since the two began working together, has put together a stack of statistics that chart Woods progress over the last five years.

"Haneys research shows Woods is 9.1 yards longer off the tee than he was five years ago while losing just 6.67 per cent in driving accuracy. World No. 2 Phil Mickelson, by comparison, is 9.2 yards longer but has lost 9.57 per cent in accuracy."

My take: I wonder if Hank is including all those times Tiger has to pull 2-iron off the tee in order to hit the fairway!

Luke Swilor's Q School Diary: Stage 1, Day 1

(Photo courtesy of Luke Swilor)




Canadian Tour player Luke Swilor has begun his second PGA Tour Q School run with Stage 1 at Dayton Valley Country Club in Dayton, Nevada. Follow along as Luke provides his diary entries.



Stage 1, Day 1

It was a tough night before the first round. I felt fine until about 2 am. I woke up, and all the sudden I felt the weight of this tournament. Everything is scarier at night, so it is a bad time to start thinking about the biggest tournament of the year. I managed to get back to sleep, but the morning was more of the same. I left to go to the course 30 minutes early just to be safe. What a kook.

Once I got to the course, I started to feel comfortable again. The golf course has always been the place where I've been most at ease. The pressure on the first tee was there, but it helped get me focused more than anything.

I got off to a solid start, but I never gave myself any chances at birdie. I didn't hit it good enough, so I had way too many 25-foot birdie putts. When I missed a green, my short game was solid. That is a very good sign. I had a lot of putts melt across the edge, too. A couple of those go in, and I shoot a good score. I was able to avoid big mistakes, but I never put myself in a position to get any shots back. So, it was a 73 today. 70 was the qualifying number today, but there's a lot of golf left.

My ball striking has not been very good lately. I'm getting closer to fixing that, though, so I think my scores will come down as the week progresses. Every session on the range gets me closer to the groove I'm looking to get in. I'm not worried right now; I just need to make some birdies.

Based on today, the qualifying number would be 280, -8. It's way to early to tell, but I see the number falling anywhere from -5 to -9. The weather is supposed to stay pretty good, but if that changes scores will go up. As long as I start to play the golf I'm supposed to be playing, I'll be just fine.

Ready to fight it out.

Luke Swilor's Q School Diary: Stage 1 Eve

(Photo courtesy of Luke Swilor)



Canadian Tour player Luke Swilor begins his second PGA Tour Q School run tomorrow with Stage 1 at Dayton Valley Country Club in Dayton, Nevada. Follow along as Luke provides his diary entries.



Stage 1 Eve

Its that time of year again. Make or break. Last year was my first year of Tour School. I played solid golf, eight straight rounds of par-or-better golf, but ended up missing the number by one at first stage.

Bummer.

This year, I go into the tournament in a bit of a slump (similar to last year, actually). After finishing up on the Canadian Tour, I just dont think Ive played enough golf. Scoring has become more difficult than it usually is for me, and my results have shown that. Ive been working hard, though, and Im looking forward to a good week.

The course (Dayton Valley CC) fits me well. The elevation and turf are the same as Salt Lake, so there is no adjustment to be made. The greens are hard and fast, just how I like it. Theyre pure, too. Hit a good putt and it goes in. No worries. My putting stroke is always a little smoother when the greens are this good.

I played very good in practice round number one. Much better than Ive been playing. I had control of the ball, something thats been missing. So far so good.

Tour School brings out some strange feelings in the best of us. Well see about this year, but I was shocked with the amount of pressure I felt last year. It sneaks up on you, too. Starting with the Pre-qualifier, I felt fine all weekuntil the night before the first round. The magnitude of the tournament came up on me out of the blue. It got hard to sleep. By the time I got to the first tee, it was a shake-a-thon. The pressure kept ramping up all the way through the final putt of the fourth round. I made it through, and I only had 14 more rounds to go. Wow.

The first stage was very similar. Same tournament eve blast of emotions, same first tee jitters. The only difference is that I was coming from behind the last day instead of trying to hold my position. Still, the world was on my shoulders, and it was a serious grind until the last putt. My twenty-foot birdie putt on the last hole was good enough to fall one man short of advancing. ONE MAN. One missed shot from just one of the six guys who finished one in front of me, and Im in.

Crushing, really, but a few less mistakes from me and I advance (okay, one less mistake).

How will I feel this year?

I dont know. The stakes are the same. Sure, Ive been here before, but I havent been back again. This year I know what its all about. But is that a blessing or a curse? I tend to think that the experience will dull the emotions, especially early on in the week. In my eyes its definitely good to have one try under my belt, but I havent been here a second time, so we will have to see.

One thing I am sure of is that I am extremely excited, and extremely motivated. Golf tends to turn around very quickly, often at unexpected times. Im looking forward to a turnaround this week. Everything will change if I get hot now.
