The Most Decorated Olympian In History Works On His Golf Game

Now in retirement with 22 medals under his belt, the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps has turned his sights on becoming a top golfer. He’s already signed on with Tiger Woods’s former coach on a reality show for the Golf Channel. His Goal- to reach the PGA tour: "Well, I mean, I've had a bunch of friends who've said I can retire [from golf] because you'll probably never have that putt again, so. . . I'm glad I got that one out of the way first and, um, I'm improving a lot out on the golf course, but it's just something that's completely different for me -- something I'm not used to. I think whenever I would swim, I wouldn't think about anything. When I have a golf shot, I have to think about all the little small things like what sort of grip, the takeaway, if I'm opening or closing the clubhead -- there's just so much that's going on in my head, so I just try to think of all the small things that make the big difference." Phelps still has a long way to go, but in the meantime the Olympic great also runs a foundation that supports the sport of swimming and promotes a healthier way of living.
