Woods also talked about how losing balls add up to the time in golf, which makes people carry their phones. Thus, it is one thing that he wants to change.
He said, “The whole idea is is nowadays that’s one of the reasons why I’m why I designed my golf courses where I designed them is trying to design a golf course where you don’t lose your golf ball.”
Woods added, “One of the more difficult things about the game of golf now is that the time a player takes and nobody can go without the cell phone for five minutes. And so it’s trying to get them to put that away and them losing themselves in the game of golf again.”

It is truly incredible to see the thought behind Tiger trying to minimize the use of phones while playing golf. Have you ever played at the golf course in Dubai?
