If I can do it, so can you. Tiger received a standing ovation. Not for making a heroic swing or winning the U.S. Open by a record-breaking 15 strokes, but for touching their hearts and providing hope and inspiration. Earl and Tiger do four clinics a year around the country, but could probably do 40. They sift through requests carefully, target cities with the most need and have interacted with more than 70,000 kids.
Truth be told, they spend more time discussing life than swings.
Nobody owes you anything. You gotta work. Nobody gave Tiger anything. He worked to get where he is. The point is, there are no guarantees or shortcuts.
