Tournament for the Golf Coach

Tiger Woods’ coach was having so much trouble with his own game that he got angry at a photographer and told him off. He burned up a lot of energy golfing in the rough that day. He wanted to make good in the tournament so he practiced a lot. If he won, he would hear from other golfers. He wanted to make it clear that he is an excellent golfer and not just a good coach.
