In 1997, Tiger Woods was on a tear. After a stellar amateur career he had just turned pro the year before. He had won two tournaments in what remained for him of the 1996 season. He played in a way that made people question wether conventional golf courses would hold up to what this young man (TW was not even 22 at the time) threw at them. He had signed the – at the time – best-paid endorsement deal (USD 40m with Nike, before even having played a single shot as a professional).  Everything was going for him. He was on top of the

First. Things are gearing up for the fall season.  Also when it comes to training, people seem to be hungry for direct personal interaction. As a consequence, many clients are looking to plan and accommodate in-person events.
