Sunday Morning and Tiger Woods/ The Masters Tournament

It’s great to be able to leave the windows open at night and be awakened in the morning by birds singing again. I slept well last night after going out and watching the sunset. Although I didn’t stay away from the television because the Master’s Tournament is on this weekend. Beth and I enjoy watching Tiger Woods do his golf magic and wouldn’t miss him for the world. He is so funny sometimes. Apparently his wife has convinced him to stop cussing when he makes a bad shot.

Because when he hit it into the woods on the 18th Friday evening he let out a “Woodrow!” I didn’t hear anybody comment on this and I had no idea where Woodrow came from. I thought it was one of those pet names young couples invent for each other. But Google once again helped me out. Tiger’s full name is Eldrick Tiger Woodrow Woods?

His beautiful young wife, Elin, may have convinced him that since he has a child now who is watching his every move he shouldn’t swear on television.

I love the way Tiger manages to be a down to earth guy with human failings as well as a golfing superstar. And his effort on this day may have helped his cause. Because he managed to par the hole. The announcer noted that it was one of the most amazing par saves he had ever seen.

And now he is six back with only four guys between him and the lead. It will be a daunting task to overcome a six stroke deficit. And it will be interesting to take a look inside Trevor Immelman’s soul and see what is happening there as well. The world will be watching you Trevor and Tiger is somewhere back there. But “No Pressure!” big guy! Enjoy your day!

If Tiger manages to come back the rest of the way and win it will be pretty amazing. And in my opinion it will be because he acknowledged Woodrow instead of yelling at God in an unpleasant way.

Tiger is now officially among my most admired fellow human beings in the world. He’s not quite up there with people who sacrifice their lives for the rest of us (the title of hero is way overused sometimes). Let’s just say that as a sports guy he is number one in my book.

Earl did a great job.

My son Jeremy was born just a couple of months after Tiger and he reminds me of him in lots of ways. He is at the top of my list of amazing people too.

  1. Yup, Tiger is definitely one of a kind. I think it goes to show that he’s back with such energy after his injury and even if he didn’t manage to perform as well as he usually does in the Accenture Match Play Golf Championship I think it’s safe to say great things will still be seen done by the Tiger.
