Be sure and watch the entire video. This is an amazing story.

Don't know if you have seen this kid or not, but you will enjoy.

i gurantee you that earl didn't do have the shit all these guys are doing trying to make their kid into the next tiger...there will never be another like him...but all these dads are forcing shit on their kids to live vicariously through them....see it all the time

pretty much what earl woods and richard williams did too dude

doesnt look at all like this dad is trying to get him to become pro and make money off him RJB.. the kid loves golf, so he's providing the opportunity for the kid to golf..

no...guys like phil mickelson and tiger did it when they were trying to emulate their dad while watching HIM play...not some dad telling his son to hit a bunch of balls so he can video tape it...the kids gonna get burned out. tiger is a different breed...u have to have the love for the game or u will have no fun. lot of friends i played with in junior and high school, very good, parents forced them to take lessons all the time, got burned out and even tho they were scratch golfers, they were having no fun and eventually quit competitively

You should because you are way off.

Dude, the dad doesn't even play golf and only started learning anything about it because the kid saw it on TV and the dad is just being a good father and spending time with his kid doing something his son loves. The guy is definitely no Marv Marinovich. Really should watch the video before you group all dads into one group. Thanks Judge, real nice video.
