Next: John Merrick knocks 15 people out of the weekend
From: gray asphalt on 7 May 2010 16:11 I can get behind giving Tiger Woods some credit for not acting like a baby. I have blocked subject: with "Tiger" in it. Who'd have thought that Mr. Pitts would say something so cool? That's about the only way I'd ever be intested in his game ... if he started acting like a non-brat on the course. Every thing else is dictated by PR but his behavior on the course, a little less so, imo. Even I don't care that much about MO, though. _________________ You got it all wrong. I don't wish him any misfortune. And I'm sure the sponsors of the Quail Hollow event and many of those who are attending would prefer for Tiger to be in the mix for the weekend. FWIW, I think it is a start that he performed so poorly and didn't have any episodes of inappropriate histrionics. That is one event. Let's see if he can keep that going. We had a family poker game Friday night and we did knock back a few Shiner Bocks and Heinekens. Tiger wasn't mentioned once since none of the others care about tour golf Ken

I would put it in the past as he might do. But, sadly, he went back to his old ways today. Per Golf Magazine. Ken

I have been attending the Colonial and the Nelson (Dallas Open) for over forty years. I have never seen anything in the same universe as what Tiger does on a routine basis. Worst I have seen are a few GD's and a flag stick whacked with a putter.

In my universe I have seen players on TV swear and throw clubs.
