It’s one thing for little ole me to reflect on the greatness of Tiger Woods (as I did in the post below), but it’s another thing for one of the truly great sports heroes of all time, Hank Aaron, to say this:
“As great as Jim Brown was, and as great as Michael Jordan was, and as great as anybody you’d want to keep mentioning, I don’t know of anybody who was as great at his sport as this man (Tiger) is now. I mean, he’s totally incredible. He’s phenomenal. Sometimes I hear people say, ‘He’s lucky.’ Well, you can throw that talk out. You can be lucky and good, but he is absolutely good. Even when he’s way ahead, he wants to make every putt and every golf shot as perfect as possible. I don’t know of anybody who has ever played any sport who was able to concentrate as much on perfection at all times as Tiger Woods.”
As the original blog post by Terence Moore on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution website says: “It takes greatness to put greatness into perspective.” Indeed!

That’s an interesting comment, golfboy. I guess you really have to be “thinking big” to even be willing to concentrate on perfection. That really was a perfect putt on Sunday. Thanks for bringing more, well, focus to this subject.
