Golf Clubs � Junior Golf Clubs � The Inspiring Tiger Woods

Before Tiger Woods came along, golf was for the retired � now kids across America are training with junior golf clubs.

Tiger Woods exploded onto the golf scene and at the same time exploded the image of the game from belonging to the stuffy country clubs to being a popular, youthful game. Golf needed a young hero that would inspire juniors to pick up their golf clubs. He showed that golf could bring celebrity, glamour and power.

Role model

He is good looking, of mixed race and has had indestructible success. Tiger Woods sparked a boom in the golf industry � fans followed him through tournaments and kids begged their parents to buy them a set of junior golf clubs. Golf suddenly had mass appeal.

Junior golf clubs

Tiger Woods was himself a junior when he first picked up a set of golf clubs. He became the youngest player to win the US Junior Amateur Championship when he swung his junior golf clubs to the top at the tender age of 15.

Champion

All that practice with his junior golf clubs clearly paid off. By the age of 25, he became the first golfer to hold all four major professional titles at the same time. On the course he looks fearless and intimidates other players with his cool confidence. But behind the easy swing were years of practice with junior golf clubs and 100% dedication to the game from a young age.

Sacrifice

To become the world's number one player takes sacrifice too. Tiger Woods began playing golf as soon as he learnt to walk. His father taught him the game and technique and his mother instilled in him a sense of discipline. Remarkably, Woods was able to lift his junior golf clubs aged 2 to complete a nine-hole course.

As a toddler he appeared on a TV show with Bob Hope. Perhaps his steely focus comes from the name his father Earl gave him � his real name is Eldrick but his father called him Tiger after a Vietnam War buddy know for his bravery.

Mixed race

Tiger is the son of an African-American, part Native American father and a part Chinese, part Thai mother. At the age of 4 an incident happened when he tried to take his junior golf clubs to a local golf course � he was turned away because of the colour of his skin..

�To be judged just because of the pigmentation of my skin,� Woods said, �I found that very difficult at first because I did not understand it then. As I grew up, I started to understand it and talked to my father about it. I think those types of experiences have spurred me on.�

Hero

Now Tiger Woods is a hero to all kids who dream of picking up a set of junior golf clubs and growing up to be just like him.
