Ashton Agar: A brilliant performance
A brilliant performance Notes: It’s not golf but I think we can learn from all sorts of sporting performances.

Update on Playing Golf like Tiger
After Tiger won this year’s US Open I wrote about why I think he’s so dominant. Briefly, I believe that he is the most automated and natural athlete in the world. It seems he never plays safe. He lets go, and hits every shot like it’s his last. There appears to be little self-doubt, confusion…
