Tiger designing course in N.C. mountains
After winning his 13th major tournament at the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods made it official in mid august that he plans to design his first American course in the mountains of North Carolina.
The Cliffs at High Carolina will be located near Asheville, N.C., and will allow only walkers, something Woods said was key to the deal. Woods wants to let the scenic land dictate the layout and hopes the course gives golfers a fair test and a chance to connect with nature.
The 31-year-old said he will gradually grow his design business, selecting projects that fit within his crowded schedule. But he pledged to come to the site as often as necessary to get the job done right. As you know, I'm kind of a perfectionist," Woods said.
He joins a community of golf courses, known as The Cliffs, that includes three layouts designed by Jack Nicklaus. Woods is chasing Nicklaus' record of 18 by age 36.
Woods last year launched his own company, Tiger Woods Design, and he took on a project in Dubai for his first golf course.

But I always love what I do. And I love being involved with the people I represent," said Kane, who now represents Canadian National Railways, the sponsor for this week's CN Canadian Women's Open in Edmonton."

Tiger Tips
Focus on your finish to get to tough pins
It's no secret that high-ball hitters have an advantage on our tour, where pins are tucked in some pretty tight places Hard; fast greens also favor the player who can feather it in with precision.
I've always been able to hit my irons pretty high, but now I approach those shots a little differently. I visualize a high finish before making a few practice swings simulating it, reminding myself to launch it into the air.
Occasionally, I'll take a bigger divot, trying to really spin the ball. Other than that, my technique doesn't change I play the ball just forward of center, trap it against the turf at impact and stay connected (upper body and body) to high finish.
