That's about the size of it, Matt.

Yes! I thought he was a very nice young man who would never succumb to the temptations of the flesh and/or other vices!

His wife and family deserved better , and on that alone I'll judge him as
a disshonest cheat just like the guy I used to work with, who incidently
despite getiing caught out and divorced , still hasn't changed .


On a lighter note ..
differance between santa and TW ?.. santa stopped at 3 Ho's.

Apart from his golf, my previous impressions of Tiger Woods was that he was a decent, family man.
His overall pay (winnings and endorsements) depends not only on his golf skills but the image he has projected. Society has given him his wealth and now will make certain judgements about his behaviour. The outcome will probably not reflect the core values of our society but will be determined by his considered future earning's potential.

Well...the fallout is already happening.

A number of big sponsors, including Gillette, have 'reviewed' their relationship with Tiger and decided to dump him.

Gillette's a big sponsor!

He's announced an 'indefinite' break from the sport.

I hope he sorts himself out...for the sake of his family and himself.

I often wonder how anyone would look if exposed to the light of the media circus let's face it we all have skeletons in the closet maybe we all should think about how we would feel in any famous persons position before we buy into this circus.

One big difference.
In conjuction with his amazing golfing talent
he has expertly used the media and sponsors to get where he is.
Everyone these days knows that that's a sword that can cut both ways when the "magic pudding" stops producing money.

My Granny said Tiger is a lazy no hoper and a bad husband because all he does is play golf all day. your grandad was like that until I put a stop to it.

she is getting very old poor thing

In days of old, really talented/rich/powerful men had lots of wives/concubunes/mistresses so their superior DNA could be spread around the human race more. Gengis Khan had a couple of thousand mistresses, King David had 300.I myself am a direct descendant of a famous character in history(documented) and another of this famous character's descendants is even more famous.In days of old rulers had their concubines etc. It makes sense for the talented ones to spread their DNA. On a more practical note, Tiger should try and gain a contract with Ansell ,Durex etc .Can you imagine the number of puns that could be made.I will not put any of them here, they will be edited out. eg now you can be a real Tiger....
