THE STING
Golf US
|July - August 2023
Neither Hoylake nor the field had a chance against Tiger in 2006, thanks to the most lethal iron shot ever imagined
MOST AMATEURS want to tee their driver high and let it fly. But during the 2006 Open Championship, Tiger Woods took an alternative approach: a high-powered, low-flying long-iron “stinger.” The result? A second-straight Open Championship and third overall.
Woods has long been known for playing chess while the rest of the field played checkers. Using this stinger shot at Royal Liverpool and other Open venues allowed him to find the most effective way to get ahead of the competition, using a wrinkle most golfers overlook.
There’s just one problem: It’s not an easy shot for most rec players to pull off. It requires lightning-quick clubhead speed and a touch of artistry. Luckily, Tiger’s former coach and Top 100 Teacher, Sean Foley, is here to help.

Breaking Away
Unquestionably, the techies and engineers who design the game's newest equipment are fully fit to do the job-and, with each new club, to deliver dazzle to your own game. But some gearheads like to go in a very different direction, because disruption isn't merely about breaking things. It's about being radically better.
