Meanderings....here and there.

I have been having idle thoughts lately and thought why not write some of them down.  I pretend I am talking with a person next to me....you, the reader.  So answer back!

Tiger's Version of Hell.

After the recent Master's tournament and Tiger's return to golf from what I am not sure. Sex rehab? Car accident? Broken golf club/marriage? The public's awareness of his disgusting choices for life numbing diversions? Anyway, I was reading various articles and was struck by an observation made about Tiger's comments after the tournament.  I watched the interview and saw that Tiger looked sad, disappointed and had very few words for the interviewer.  He said he had come into the match to win and he didn't.  He finished fourth. End of comments. This from a guy who said he had learned something in the time he was away from the game.  He would be more respectful.  Really! as they say in that skit on SNL....Really!!  Tiger had no words for the crowds at the Masters who greeted him warmly wherever he went, who were with him every step as he stalked the golf course seeking a victory.  He had no words for the staff who welcomed him and cared for the beautiful course he was playing on.  He had no words for the media who treated him in hushed tones as if he had been away caring for a sick relative and no words for the Course Security who kept away anyone who might cause him a second of discomfort by reminding him and others of his unsettling and unsavory behavior off the course.  The only misstep was the overhead airspace and the trailing banner with the mocking play on Tiger's words when he said he wanted to return to the words of Buddhism with the flying marquee ...did you mean " bootyism"?

And no words about the winner.  Forget everything folks---rewind! Tiger is still Tiger!  And I thought again about how ironic life can be.  Some people call it karma or justice but I believe Tiger has found his own version of hell.  He gets to play whenever he wants, and he will always be in the hunt, make some brilliant shots, birdies and an occasional eagle but he does not win.  As he put it. "I finished fourth"  That is what "hell" feels like for Tiger.
