Exclusive; Joe LaCava shares funny story about the first time he and Tiger Woods ‘clicked’ on the golf course
It will require golf fans some investment becoming acclimated to seeing Tiger Woods wearing some different option from Nike attire when he next plays, but on the other hand they’re actually changing in accordance with the 15-time significant champion not having Joe LaCava on the sack.
Following 10 years of wins and giggles, the two headed out in different directions last year with the goal that LaCava could assist on an all the more full-time reason for Patrick Cantlay. Woods and LaCava stay old buddies, nonetheless, and that’s what the looper examined and more with previous caddie John Rathouz on the Calm If it’s not too much trouble, digital broadcast.
LaCava expresses that the two things that struck him most when he went to work for Woods a long time back is the ticket “low support” he was and that he not even once faulted Joe for a terrible club or a misread on the green. You should read the whole interview, but the part where Joe told the funny story about how he and Tiger first “clicked” on the golf course was our favorite.
It occurred less than two months after Woods and Steve Williams split up in their first event together, the 2011 Frys.com Open. Obviously Woods hadn’t asked Joe for much until they got to a standard 3 on the back nine when Woods got some information about yardage to a pin on a two-layered green. We’ll allow LaCava to take it from here:
“He hadn’t exactly asked me anything the entire day so he sort of surprised me, despite the fact that I assume I was prepared,” LaCava reviews. ” He shared with me, ‘Could I at any point get 7-iron there?’ What’s more, said, ‘You can get it on top, yet you can’t get it to the opening.’ Thus he hits this delightful minimal tight draw, 10 feet right of the opening pin high, lovely shot. What’s more, he just somewhat gave me a look without expressing anything as though to say, Never let me know I can’t follow through with something. You know, I got that look and I thought it was perfect.”
Great stuff, yet the story improves.
“Around four minutes after the fact we approach the green and the ball is scarcely shy of pin high, so I take a gander at him and I say, ‘Indeed, it’s not pin high.’ He also smiled at me. It was something, immediately we clicked. What’s more, we knew planned to get along quite well and give each other trouble, which we actually do right up to the present day.”
Furthermore, in this way, an extraordinary golf couple was conceived. It’s good that LaCava gave Tiger that from the beginning.
