The Lonesome Golf Channel

Woods’ absence should turn out to be good for the Golf Channel and it’s viewers.  It will teach everyone not to put all the eggs in one basket.  To be skeptical of a golfer that won’t acknowledge his fans.  Maybe now we can appreciate the rest of the field.

Tiger’s Apology?

I say it was an orchestrated attempt to restore his image.  What purpose did it really serve, I ask?  Tiger is no dummy, he knows there’s millions of dollars riding on whether he is allowed to continue playing golf.  Will the fans that he so willingly betrayed, take him back in their favor?

His robot-like performance and stone cold lack of facial expressions made me realize that he was simply giving another con-job.  Once again, it was all about him.  Oh yes, he said he was sorry but what was he really saying?  I believe his career is over.  He’s let too many people down and now he has to pay the price.  Sad but true.
