Tiger Woods Is Training Charlie Exactly the Way He Learned From His Father Earl
Tiger Woods and his son Charlie are currently in Orlando, Florida, participating in the PNC Championship, which has garnered much attention due to their presence. And while Charlie has accrued much interest of the public on behalf of his spectacular skills for a mere 12-year-old, some of his practicing tricks are coming to light.
Just a month after Tiger Woods opened up about never being able to play after his surgery, he is a part of the field for the unique family event. And in one of the many clips released from the event, it took us back to a time when we learned his father Earl Woods’ techniques that he used for training a young Tiger.

Learning technique: Tiger Woods forces Charlie to concentrate
A couple of years ago, Earl Woods wrote two books, ‘Training a Tiger: A Father’s Guide to Raising a Winner in Both Golf and Life’, and ‘Playing Through: Straight Talk on Hard Work, Big Dreams and Adventures with Tiger’. In them, he revealed how he trained the man who was declared a prodigy at the age of 2.
Love this. @TigerWoods doing exactly what his dad did to him as a kid to Charlie. Trying to distract him with anything like rattling keys or making noise or throwing a golfball in his sight line forcing him to concentrate. @TWlegion pic.twitter.com/Az2At2Cx67

In the video shared by Bob Frier, a television news anchor, a fabulous shot and angle show us something of importance. As Charlie is preparing to take a long and decisive putt, Woods, crossing him, rolls a ball in front of his view with an aim to distract him. Charlie, however, in all probability used to his teaching methods, is barely bothered as he remains focused on his putt.

This seems, indeed, a great way of building confidence. And perhaps a small and seemingly inconsequential act like this is monumental in building a golfer as great as him. However, what do you think?
