If Tiger Woods retired today, would he be considered the best golfer ever?
I know he’ll be back from his bad injuries though. I was just wondering if you think Tiger could be considered the greatest golfer if he retired today. (In my opinion, I would say yes. All his victories aside, anyone who can win the U.S. Open while playing at around 50% has to be considered the best ever. Without a doubt. Golfers have won a lot of tournaments before, but they have never absolutely crushed the competition like Tiger has done.)
Yeah, he will still be the greatest golfer. In the magazine TIME, he was considered a genius (like Einstein). In the age of 15, he had won several golf award, who can beat that record?

Golf tips to correct shanking the ball? ?
I have read plenty of magazines, tried many tips and drills, and played the game of golf for about 8 years. Until this past year, I have never had a problem with shanking the golf ball. I seem to be letting my hands move away from my body at impact which moves the hosel and shaft closer to the ball, resulting in a shank from time to time. I also know that sometimes I’m not rotating my right hand (trailing hand) at impact, which causes the face to stay open at impact and can also cause somewhat of a shank. Does anyone know of a fail-proof way or practice drill to correct this, without giving up golf, of course? Thanks!
From what you’ve told us I would say the most likely source of the shank is relating to the hands moving away from the body at impact. Contary to popular belief, a shank is not caused by cutting across the ball but rather from striking the ball from too inside the correct swing path. Whenever I’ve had the shanks, I corrected it by making sure I am taking the club straight backwards rather than taking it back on an inside line. When I slip into this habit, I try correct it by putting a tee on the ground about a foot or so behind the ball and concentrating on taking the club back towards that. Related to this is you could be attacking the ball along too flat a swing path which again would lead you to strike the ball inside-out. The easist way to correct this and to create a more upright plane is to swing on a slope such that the ball is lower than your body/below your feet. If you’ve found you are drawing/hooking the ball more than normal then the above is most likely to be the reason and the drills should help.

Who’s the female [athlete?] who is accused of being a man, posing for a magazine this month?
It was in the monologue on Conan tonight.
There’s some woman, who I believe is an athlete [tennis? golf?] who is trying to squash rumors of her being a man by posing on a magazine cover this month.
Any ideas who?

what do you think will be the next sports illustrated book to come out?
The last three holiday seasons we’ve got a new one, first football, then baseball, then basketball. Do you know what is up next, or do you have a guess? I’m hoping hockey but I’m guessing Golf, if they go forward with it.
Could be football if the Pats go 19-0.
