I am getting just a little agitated at some of the sports writers' criticism of Tiger, the golf pro.
Certainly he has not been a good boy and that may be understating the gravity of the problem but I am not Tiger's judge nor do I wish to be. Some of "us" who follow the game of golf have wished him the best in his attempts to regain what he has lost in prowess. It has been a really sad story -- his fall from being king of the game to not being able to qualify for tournaments this season as well as leg and hip problems requiring therapy and surgery. Obviously in the game of golf one must practice on a regular basis requiring that the entire body be in tip-top shape, the mind rested, and the skills honed and polished.
He made a real mess of his personal life and has suffered many losses as a result. Lets just leave the details there. But folks......your suffer the loss, take your lumps and bumps, and try to move on.
Right as he is trying to get back to his game he "fires" his caddie. Obviously, there must have been cause. It seems that Tiger does not want to air his dirty laundry with the press. For this he is being strongly criticized because he refuses to talk about the issue. The sports writers' stand is that they need the story because that is the way they make their living -- getting the scoop!!
Here, I thought they made their livings writing about sports events. Stoopid me!!
Tiger's ex-caddie put out a strong statement or two last weekend, after his new employer won the golf event, most of which was targeted toward Tiger. It was rather sad for him -- that he was so bitter that he got quite ugly.
On the other hand it has been refreshing that Tiger's response was not one of retaliation.
He response was more congratulatory to the pair.
My word is ---"Hey you guys, get off of Tiger's back for a while!. Let him play golf and make a come back!"
