The young golfer would make a 5 on the par-5, and his dad would say that hole would play as a par-4 the next time out. Same concept for par-4s and 3s. The young golfer said he didn’t like it.

Tiger Woods still uses it.

“It taught me never be afraid to go low,” said the 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner.

Tiger still uses another lesson from his late father. Earl taught him putting. Earl’s teaching still works.

“I don’t know what that dude saw in my game, but he really knew putting. He knew my stroke,” Woods said Sunday on the one-hour “Tiger Tales” on CBS. “I’ve had coaches throughout my career, but my dad was the best teacher I’ve ever had with putting and probably ever will.

“Under pressure, under the gun, when I need to make putts on the back nine, I always revert back to my dad’s teachings.”
