Rickochet good for bubba, he needs a rubber band around his wrist to snap himself when he's about to have a spaz attack.

    Hank was paid peanuts, even during Tiger's prime. And what did he gain from his Tiger celebrity? Charles Barkley's schizophrenic swing and teaching Ray Romano how to break 100, on Golf Channel instructional reality shows.

    What a payout.

    That wagon stays in the desert for any instructor worth the ink on his card imo.

        ode Did Jack have a coach?

        Definitely.
        Jack Grout. Only coach Jack ever had; from around 1950 on.

            ode Jim Flick, after Grout passed away, when he went on the Senior Tour.

            So I guess 'only' is a bit overused. And even old Pros need help at times.😉

                PA-PLAYA Nike paid hank peanuts? Wasn't that in Tiger's wagon that hank was hitched to?

                    How does Nike pay Hank for being Tiger's swing consultant?

                    I could be wrong... have been before and could be again.. but was always under the impression that in most all of those instances - the touring pro paid his swing guru independently.

                    Are we to assume that just because Sean Foley is Justin Rose's instructor, that TaylorMade is somehow obligated to ante up and pay some sort of endorsement to Foley?

                    I feel fairly safe in assuming that that's not how it works.

                        ode He would only go to Grout at the beginning of a season. Just 1 lesson, then if he needed a 'tweak' during the season, he'd give him a call. Grout said Jack would listen, then do. I think it worked.☺

                          I may be wrong, but his endorsement deal came along side him being with Tiger.

                              Tiger live about 1.5 miles from me (distance not neighborhoods). I might swing by and see if he needs a hand. Actually, if you slow down by his gate, his Nazi SS security guards spring into action.

                              Tiger should look to Mike Malaska. Mike teaches a saying that is really easy on the body and especially the back.
