1) My book is about one of the best golfer ever Tiger Woods. The book is wrote by tigers swing coach Hank Haney. Tiger asked Hank to coach him after he stopped working with is old Coach. Before Tiger reached out to Hank he tried doing everything himself, but this was not working and it was clearly showing in his scores. When Hank started working with Tiger he was a little anxious on what to do because if he made Tiger worse he would be known as the coach who ruined Tiger. They worked together for 6 years and in these years Tiger became very successful. Hank always emphasized the big miss, and they would do everything to avoid it.Tigers big miss was a hook to the left so they would adjust his swing to make sure he would not miss left. After working with each other however they decided to go their separate ways, but are still on good terms today.
2) I think Hank decided to write this book to just show the world what Tiger Woods was really like. He talks alot about how Tiger was a perfectionist his day consist of 12 hours of golf a day from 6 AM to 6 PM. The real thing Hank points out however is that tiger was mentally a freak. No one ever would know what was going on in his head, and this what hank believed made him so successful.

Great Expectations
we have only had the book a couple days and I don't quite know what to think of it yet. I got to the part were he meets the convict in the marsh, and then stopped reading. I like to stop reading when it seems that its going to get good so I am interested to keep reading at another time. If i stop reading at a boring point it leaves a bad impression in my head and i start to dread reading it, and it becomes more of a hassle then something im excited to do.
