Tiger: I never used to pay for golf!
He learnt to be sneaky at a young age...

So we'd heard before that Tiger Woods was obsessed with the military, and the marines in particular. We didn't realise it started so young, well at least it sounds like it did, the lengths a young Tiger used to go to to sneak onto a golf course with his dad Earl.
"My mom’s dropping me off. I’d hop in the creek, this ditch, and walk on the south side of the ditch, because the clubhouse was up above, so no one could see me. And my dad would get a golf cart, and I’d walk down past one, past two, and I’d lay under the bridge on three, and try and be in total disguise, so I could blend into the environment. I’d put rocks and stuff around me. I hid my golf bag underneath the rocks, totally trying to blend into the environment, and then my dad would say, ‘Hey, you there?’ Yup. Coming up."
Dedications what you need if you're going to be a record breaker, and the young Tiger cub certainly had that.
