Woods to miss Masters, ‘not physically ready’

Tiger Woods will be at Augusta National next week – but not with his golf clubs.

Woods officially ruled himself out of the Masters on Friday night, ending weeks of social-media gossip and rumors about whether he would make a surprise return at the year’s first major.

Though he won’t compete for a fifth green jacket, Woods said in a post on his website that he still plans to attend the Champions Dinner next Tuesday.

“I’ve been hitting balls and training daily,” he said in the statement, “but I’m not physically ready. I’ve said all along that this time I need to be cautious and do what’s best for my long-term health and career. Unfortunately, playing Augusta next week wouldn’t be the right decision.

“I’m absolutely making progress, and I’m really happy with how far I’ve come, but I still have no timetable to return to competitive golf.”

Speculating about Woods’ status for the Masters has become an annual tradition.

In 2014, he revealed less than two weeks before the tournament (also on April Fools’ Day) that he’d undergone back surgery, and last year, after taking a two-month break to sort out his short-game issues, Woods waited until six days before the opening round to announce his intention to play. He eventually tied for 17th.

His return this year never seemed likely.

The 40-year-old hasn’t played since the Wyndham Championship in August, which was a month before he underwent a second microdiscectomy and then another follow-up procedure to alleviate discomfort in his back. In his lone public appearance this year, at a news conference for one of his Tiger Woods Design projects in early March, Woods said that he was “progressing” but offered no definitive timetable for a return.

“After assessing the present condition of my back, and consulting with my medical team, I’ve decided it’s prudent to miss this year’s Masters,” he said.

But after missing the Masters for the second time in three years, and with little information trickling out about his recovery, it’s unclear when, or if, Woods will play this year.

It's Time for Feel!

Bubba Watson's "Technology"

 Technology. Ask Bubba Watson, two time Masters Champion about how he uses technology to help his game. The answer is zilch, nothing, nadda or forget about it! He is one of the PGA Tour players who play with feel for every shot. His fun and carefree attitude with a feel golf swing keeps us watching him on TV. He is entertaining and fun to watch because most golfers would like to play with a feel golf swing like Bubba. Well, you can play with feel.

It’s all about feel, fun and letting it go! That’s right, letting it go. While performing athletic activities, it’s important to allow your body and mind to be relaxed and swing with feel. Do not be over technical or thinking about too many issues, just learn to swing with feel. The time for you to complete a full swing is less than two seconds. How much can a player think about in two seconds? An overload of information during your golf swing feel, the better you play. Let’s look a few ideas that can make you will create failure and dissatisfaction. The more you swing with develop more feel in your golf game.

A great drill for a lifetime is practice swinging the club with your eyes closed. Swinging with your eyes closed will put your body senses into the feel mode. During this closed eye drill, you can do whatever you want with your golf swing. If you want to feel a good shoulder turn, square club face, and inside/outside path, head still or steady, etc., you can isolate these movements with your eyes closed. Do these movements without hitting golf balls. When you play, take one thought, feel it, and execute the swing with feel. Practicing with your eyes closed will develop awareness of feel and how feel works to improve your game. You will be amazed how this type of practice transitions positive results into your actual golf swings. The feel type swing will bring out the best in you. The game will be fun, and your time on the golf course will be enjoyable. Try it; I know you will like it!
