Rumor has it that Abbott watched Tiger at the Player's, hence the advice Perez gave him.

No rumor. Golf Channel showed video of this happening, with whoever Perez's coach was behind Tiger and Perez nearby. Perez explained on the video that Tiger asked for comment on his swing since Perez and the coach were there nearby. "Take a look for a second" kind of thing.

This is one of the most important things I have ever said, and VERY important to this question as well.

Here it is:

The Three Undebateable Truths of Golf Instruction by Brian Manzella

1. What the teacher WANTS the student to do differently then they are doing right now.

2. What the student THINKS the teacher wants them to do differently.

3. What the student actually does.

Hunter Mahan's swing is very good, and something I think Tiger would like to do compared to the other swings of the students of all these tour teachers.

I am not sure about nos. 1 & 2 with Mahan. But #3 is good.

Great post!

I agree Mahan has a great swing and by most accounts is a premier ballstriker. Hence, I was a bit surprised when you said that Foley had "NO CHANCE" at becoming Tiger's coach. I have no idea about #1 and #2, but #3 is good, and in the end that may be all that Tiger looks at.

John, how in the hell do you keep up with all this? I think finding this blog link is harder than actually coaching Tiger Woods.

Funny! It helps to have a bunch of instructors that are quite internet and computer savvy. =)

Hopefully, we'll run into each other again someday soon as well as seeing the rest of the GTE Instructors.
