I hope there was no ex around with a 9 iron?................
There is a current HBO Max documentary on Tiger Woods which is really good. Tiger, like many of us, is an enigma. He is half a super likable, decent guy, and half a complete A-hole adulterer, family destroyer and someone who turned against his friends. As a young child, he saw his dad and dad's friend bringing skank girls into the RV, and his dad was largely a jerk. Dad said young Tiger was going to be the next savior of the world. That's pressure. That's a poor childhood.But ultimately, Tiger's behavior is 100% on Tiger. And he is a very poor decision maker. Multiple adulteries, divorce, drug abuse, arrest, crashing his Caddy into a tree at 2 a.m., and now choosing to drive at high speed and not keep his eyeballs on the road. All of those are a result of Tiger's volition, and I just cannot feel sorry for him. He has squandered a real opportunity to live a clean life and be a role model.
I hope I'm never tested with fame and riches. Sounds trite but I mean it.
I'm no golf fan either, but Tiger transcends sports in a way. People who are not into golf know his name. People who are not even into sports at all know his name...And you are right, a compound fracture of the lower extremities is very difficult.what a wreck that was. Very fortunate to survive as well as he had. I hope he continues to get well.If Tiger does come back from this, that would be something to witness.
.... He has squandered a real opportunity to live a clean life and be a role model.
Like every one else, Tiger Woods has made choices in life, and then he has to live with the consequences of those choices. But I don't understand why someone is expected to be a "role model" just because they are in the public eye. I try to avoid putting my expectations/wishes on other people.
