Has Your Company Created “The Tiger Effect”?
Stephen Long, PhD

You ve spent millions of dollars on training, and what do you have to show for it? Training programs are the first to be cut during lean times, and I m not here to argue that they shouldn t. Most training programs lack sufficient evaluation and have an inconsequential impact on the bottom line. In the 90s, training went from a perk to an entitlement. Employees expect to be continually educated without being held responsible to apply information in a manner that creates profit. What s worse is that many employees leave after you ve educated them. Why should you continue to educate your competition’s workforce?

Golf could be the only game where equipments aren t shared comfortably. Though it could be seen as overzealous individualism, there are several reasons besides such. Golf equipment, that would include golf balls and golf clubs, are the mark of the character. It not only speaks of his success of the green or on the green, it also correlates his playing style and playing strengths. And it also speaks of his vanity.

For instance when Tiger Woods reinvented the game of golf in 1996, Woods was known to carry his old True Temper Dynamic Gold steel-shafted clubs as the main clubs and various smaller steel club heads that provide more accuracy than distance. In the golfing parlance, this is

The general consensus seems to be that, at the rate he is going, Tiger Woods is destined to be the greatest golfer of all time before his career is over. That may be true. But he has a ways to go before he can catch the current holder of that title, “The Golden Bear” Jack Nicklaus.

Nicklaus has been a dominant force in golf for four decades, first on the PGA Tour from the 1960s to the mid-to-late 1980s, then on the Champions Tour from the late 1980s to the 1990s. His name is forever linked to that of another great golfer, Arnold Palmer, because together, they ushered in the renaissance of golf. The Palmer-Nicklaus rivalry was so compelling

that it made golf a popular TV sport for the first time and spurred interest in the game all across America.
