Great athletes seem to have incredible memories.

• Tiger Woods remembers the golf shots he hit 20 years ago.

• Chess masters still analyze their most famous games, years after they happen.

• LeBron James can break down plays with perfect precision.

Here’s a clue from an excellent essay from @michael_nielsen and @andy_matuschak.

What do you think is going on here?
Here’s a video of Tiger Woods remembering his 1997 win at The Masters — 21 years after the tournament.

He remembers yardages, club selections, wind conditions, and momentum swings.

Incredible recall.

I wrote about the rise of Audience-First Products.

In it, I summarize the three-step process companies are using to build them.

1) Build an audience

2) Build a product

3) Scale with software and contractors

Step 1: Build an Audience

People are taught to hunt down interesting people, ideas, and opportunities.

But masters of the Internet attract them.

Sharing ideas pulls in like-minded people, who double as a feedback loop to make you smarter and more interesting.
Step 2: Build a Product

Once you’ve built an audience, focus on the second step of delivering a product to them.

Nearly every service could be delivered with more joy, in a more efficient manner.

Study any industry for long enough and you’ll find opportunities to improve it.

My favorite neighborhoods in New York have the same features.

• Cars drive slowly
• Narrow streets
• Tree-lined sidewalks
• Neighborhoods are zoned for apartments and commercial use

Oh, and extra points for cobble-stone streets.

We already know how to build great cities.
I think the ultimate ideal is big cities with lots of little neighborhoods.

Big cities give you access, serendipity, and economic opportunities.

Little neighborhoods give you walkability and relationships with your neighbors.

Public transportation is the key ingredient.
Helping people move to cities is the lowest piece of low-hanging fruit in society.

But too many cities lack community, which makes people feel isolated.

As a society, we should spend much more time studying cities — and how we can make them feel homey.

How to build an online brand: Create your own territory.

1) Pick a unique intersection of ideas.

2) Start writing about it.

3) Add some style and personality.

Best of all, there is unlimited territory on the Internet.

A global audience is waiting for you.

Start writing.
You want to be known as the best thinker on a skill, genre, or topic.

Find the unique intersection of your knowledge, personality, and skills that nobody else can compete with.

The Internet rewards unique people.

Resist every temptation to write about what other people are already writing about.

WELCOME G7 ATTENDEES! As you know, Trump Doral is by far the best possible location for a gathering of the most powerful nations on earth.

A few notes on the resort: First, double-check your room rate, because conference attendees like Shannon A. have had problems.
Also, even if it's your birthday, please be considerate of your neighbors when watching Disney movies. I'll let Heydi R. explain:
Before your meetings regarding the world economy and the stabilization of international government cooperation, I'd recommend just doing a quick look-see around the room, make sure everything smells okay.

And Tiger Woods, whose career seemed to be over, earns the green blazer in his first-ever come-from-behind Major win.
They're interviewing other golfers who were in the chase -- guys who just LOST the Masters -- and every one of them seems sincerely happy for Tiger. That's class. #Masters
Career Masters wins:
Nicklaus 6
Woods 5
Palmer 4.
Arnie's still my all-time fave, though. Unlike Tiger, he was down-to-earth, signed autographs, never played it safe, was at his best coming from behind. I would have loved to see him and Tiger in their prime playing a skins game.

Don't know if it's been brought up, but @F_Molinari is the seventh player to shoot 13-under or better through 54 holes at @TheMasters. Of the other six, only Greg Norman (1996) failed to win. #TheMasters
Here's a list of the other six that shot 13-under or better through 54 holes at @TheMasters:

16-under: Jordan Spieth (2015)
15-under: Ray Floyd (1976), Tiger Woods (1997)
14-under: Jack Nicklaus (1965)
13-under: Seve Ballesteros (1980), Greg Norman (1996)

#TheMasters
Of note, the best any of the previous six players to shoot 13-under or better through 54 holes shot in the final round was a 69, which Nicklaus (1965) and Woods (1997) did. Floyd (1976) and Spieth (2015) shot 70, Ballesteros (1980) shot 72, and Norman (1996) shot 78. #TheMasters

To reflect on @TigerWoods winning for the first time in over 1,000 days: I'd like to share some truly impressive career stats to date. It's likely some or none of these will be matched again. #TigerWoods #TigerFacts
We're going to focus on the @PGATOUR for this thread. His accolades in other Tours are impressive too but, we'll get to that later.

Remember this number going forward: 332. The number of PGA TOUR starts as a pro.

He made 14 starts as an amateur, making 6 cuts from '92-mid '96
Cuts made: 93.3% of Starts (310)

Top 25s: 78.3% (260)

Top 10s: 58.1% (193)

Wins: 24.1% (80)

He is 3 PGA TOUR wins away from setting the All-Time record
