美国高尔夫球学院的老师帮助的学生(Tiger's teacher helping ju
"every single person asked a question about tiger woods," haney said this week.
haney, who helped groove woods' swing for the past 3 1/2 years, took over last month as the academy's director of instruction, hopeful he can bring some of what he's taught woods to a new generation of ball strikers.
when academy officials wondered if 52-year-old haney wanted to squeeze in teaching 160 or so juniors while refining woods' swing, running a dallas golf instruction business and heading up the espn golf schools, haney made one request: he wanted to dive in full time.
