Tiger: "I just need more reps."

Reps get multiple mentions in his latest blog entry. And there was this, which I have to say is one I've never heard before:

I'm used to seeing the ball curve a lot, but now I'm hitting the ball much straighter, and it's hard to trust that. Most of the tee shots I missed at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and PGA were straight balls into the left trees, bunkers or rough. I couldn't cut the ball. I'm just not comfortable yet aiming straight, and it's a whole new sight line for me.

As for future appearances, he mentions the Aug. 31 Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge in Verona, N.Y. and then this:

After that, I have trips to Asia and Australia, and hopefully I'll get picked for the Presidents Cup team. I've had some conversations with U.S. captain Fred Couples, and we'll see how it goes. Of course, I want to be on the team.

It's always fun to play for your country, and we did pretty well two years ago in San Francisco. I'm just going to keep practicing and try to get better. It's Freddie's call, and he can make any choice he wants.

Yes he can!
