It is still not clear why you think you know that a professional golfer like Woods has less interest in the science of his field than you did in amateur shooting:

"Many years ago when I wasn't cloistered in my cubical, one of my favorite texts back in the days I used to shoot was a Russian translation by Yur'yev called "Competitive Shooting" published by Satan, I mean the NRA. It is out of print but I still own a copy. Very technical stuff including the physiology of heartbeats, geometry of stances and other stuff. "

Woods has consciously decided to rebuild his swing twice in his career. That seems evidence he has given it a lot of thought and is not just getting up there and swinging away.

"Yes, reading a book like Yur'yev's can make somebody a better marksman, but ... it's mostly in the genes."

Here you recognize the benefit of study, which I would assume Woods knows too. But you come to a wrong conclusion - it's mostly in the practice.
