Sports Fans - Does Tiger Woods have a coach? (yes, this is GDP related)

[Muttocracy]

Today on NPR, Scheunemann said "John McCain needs foreign policy advisors like Tiger Woods needs a golf coach."

So I'm wondering whether Woods has one, and thinking, haven't we had enough of a president who thinks he has all the answers himself?

1. Swing Coach

At various times, Tiger has had a swing coach, i.e., someone to assist in fine-tuning his swing.

I think most pro players do.

2. True. Tiger employs a coach, as do most of the worlds best players. It keeps them sharp.

3. I know zip about sports, but it seems logical for pro athletes! nt

6. Most players in non-team sports do; often several focusing on different aspects.

That's what the Cabinet is for, for one--and Obama has a very strong team of "coaches."

8. one wonders if McCain will do without NSA and Sec. of State? nt

His father first, then various professionals.

10. Woods has a coach. Roger Federer has a coach. Albert Puhols has a coach

anyone who thinks (s)he doesn't need help with something is deluded to the point of needing to be institutionalized. And if he's such a fucking expert, why did he say that Iraq would be a cakewalk?

11. of course tiger has a coach

he isn't arrogant enough to think he has all of the answers and knowledge about golf. Tiger also has assistants that run his daily business, charity ventures, and his global empire. Only an idiot or hubris filled person thinks they alone have all the answers.
