Practice facility of the day
Tiger Woods says he is close to moving into his new home on Jupiter Island in South Florida, and it sounds as though the most exciting part of the home is the practice facility. "It's phenomenal," he said on his website. His design team built a short-game practice area that features four greens, six bunkers of various depths and sand, along with a video center and putting studio. Without any wind, the longest club he can hit is a 7-iron. He also said he can hit shots from his studio on the second floor.
