Needless to say, we are constantly bombarded with “celebrity” news that affects most of us like the syrup of ipicac that Mom gave us to make us throw up the bad stuff in our stomach.

In scanning the news, I have found some articles that are actually thought provoking about Tiger’s future. Here’s a link to an article, that includes good questions, from Australian Steve Harris:

Tiger….important life lessons

I really don’t want to get into this subject, but it simply can’t be ignored. It’s the most influential event to ever happen in (or to) the game of golf in my 69 years. The monetary impact is immense, not just for him, but even more so for golf in general.

The saddest part of the story, of course, is the damage he may have done to the lives of his wife and children. Who can guess how this will play out?

Everyone has an opinion of which direction their marriage will go and what effect this will have on his career. Hopefully, the reported immanent divorce and his return to golf will happen as quietly as possible. However, given the media’s insatiable thirst for all the nitty gritty details, the circus may continue for many months to come.

I think I’ll grab my clubs and head for one of the South Pacific islands that has no newspapers or TV…….a good place for me to get several months of needed practice with my sand wedge.
