[Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is why Butch Harmon is such a good golf coach. I've been reading a bunch of Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, etc the past 5 years and pretty much everybody is in agreement that Harmon's "methods" basically involve taking your natural swings and then tweaking it. Contrast that to Sean Foley and others who want to completely remake your swing in their mold of what a good golf swing should look like. I've read and listened to lots of interviews that what Butch did with Tiger was just to take his God given talent and refine it a little, take the hitches out, etc. It's when Tiger started getting too smart for his own good and started believing in every new technique / training regimine / psuedo-scientific advance that his and Harmon's relationship fell out. I personally think there's a huge hubris factor as well-- he never recovered from the divorce / scandal psychologically and his continued internal denial that he really didn't do anything wrong has rotted his karma to the core. He needs a full on Hollywood movie like bottoming out / reawakening of himself to really recapture his natural talent. He is the real life Roy Hobbs. I'm only disappointed that I think he's going to find that around age 50, and he'll put together one Nicklaus in '86 like tournament, but it'll be too late to really challenge Jack's record. For the amateur golfers out there, this relates to you in the best possible way. If you want to really improve your golf game, find a coach that doesn't say he has to remake your swing. Most times, golfers can get improvement to the point where they'e shooting below bogey golf (breaking 90, threatening 80 which means at that pointyou can play pretty much any course and have fun) just by tweaking your natural motion. A coach that's willing to work with you instead of remake you in his image is more invested in your improvement than building his own ego. [Title] 
Yes. This.
