I firmly, firmly believe in the importance of basics. I included Tiger’s stats in the article – they’re dramatic – to make the case as to why what he did is so remarkable. I learned while getting the background info that a lot of writers really slammed him for changing his swing. You know, the same writers pulling down their five-figures.

Anyway, a great lesson here for us karate-ka. Tiger’s approach to his basics is tenacious! No matter what we’re studying it’s all about the basics. Sports, academics, music, etc. They all have it.

Yeah, I was a music geek (and loved it) from 2nd grade through college. The basics were key. (Get it?)
