Directions: Underline the words in the story as you find them, unscramble them and write them in the boxes below. Practice, practice, practice! That's how Tiger Woods became a championship golfer. He started playing golf when he was very young, and by the time he was 6 years old he was an amazing golfer. His father,Earl, was his coach. When Tiger was just a baby, his dad made a driving range in his garage with carpet and a net. Tiger would sit in his high chair and watch his dad practice. When he was 9 months old, his dad sawed off a golf club to make it very short, and Tiger could strike the ball into the net. When he was 18 months old (just a year and a half), he began going to the golf course with Dad. He hit buckets of balls on the driving range. When he was 4 years old, they hired a coach for him. When he was 6, he began entering junior contests. Tiger listened to tapes to improve his confidence in himself. His dad helped him to learn to focus in spite of distractions . He stood in front of Tiger and said, "I'm a tree", and he would have to hit the ball over his father. Earl would jingle the coins in his pocket to distract him, or roll a ball in front of him and Tiger learned to concentrate on the game. He cannot stand to lose. He does not become angry, but he goes out and practices even harder to not make the same mistakes. In the year 2000, when he was 24 years old, he won four major golf tournaments ; the U.S. Open, and U.S. Amateur and the British Open and British Amateur
