Dear Tiger,

I had such high hopes for you on tour this year. Let's be honest; with the exception of two top-five finishes at the Masters and the U.S. Open, it's been downright painful to watch you play golf.

Most recently, there was the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. One word—yikes!

I would have been willing to bet my house, car, boat, and firstborn child that you would win the Bridgestone and enter the PGA Championship on a high note. Do you blame me? You've only won there seven times!

It was the entire thing: bad tee shots, poor chip shots, and awful putts. So much for firing Hank Haney, changing your swing, and trying to be your own coach. That's worked really well so far.

My advice: call Hank Haney and get him on a plane to Wisconsin to work on your swing, chipping, and putting. Maybe even watch "Caddyshack" or "Happy Gilmore" to get inspired.
