Tiger clearly seen

I was just turning 40 and watching the bloom fade from my youth and then along came Tiger. Tiger was about to redefine everything we knew about the game of the elderly. The game I was being moved into by father time. I saw golf getting sexy and I could play it, not Tiger like in any way, but who could?

His fall from grace and pinnacle was spectacular. The puns are hilarious, not a good sign. As a piece of comic advice never do anything that can be turned into a pun. Ask Congressman Weiner. Has he lost his stroke? The Tail of Tiger. Penalized for too many holes in one. No need to go further.

In all of the scandal no one is asking the questions. Was Tiger bred, trained and medicated for optimum golf performance. It looks like from all accounts of Tigers parentage his father, Earl did exercise, encourage and promote his son's talent, so yes to trained. Tigers mom said Earl asked what her handicap was so yes to breeding. As a side not she later revised her answer to say her handicap was picking faithful husbands. Tiger was able at 19, to hit it farther, higher and longer than anyone had ever seen. And his golf game was pretty good too.

Tiger transcended barriers and our adoration fuelled him to unparalleled accomplishments with not only a Championships and Majors but a Trophy Wife as well. And now we find out he was doing it with 10-40 ongoing flings. Why are we punishing this guy again? Envy? Oh yeah he is black and broke down preconceived notions of race in Golf. I think he was even allowed in as the Member of Augustus.

I want to let it go but I can't get over how strikingly similar the traits Tiger had, in golf anyway, were remarkably like those of athletes who have testified about use. The focus is on baseball of course with Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Aderly De La Cruz recently being investigated. Football has given up and agreed the average linebacker should be 300 lbs with a 23 inch waist. The Olympics have created their own Drug Testing Events and the Tour de France is also investigating the blood of drivers in cars.

I hate to pile on when someone is down, although I have heard it cost $1500 and is quite refreshing, it seems to make sense that we start asking questions about the stars of golf. I know with advances in technology even the average player can get more wood on it and also hit the ball farther. Tiger was on the leading edge of most technological breakthroughs in dimple design, stroke speed and grip but his help with golfing equipment breakthroughs was down right scary. His length alone... sorry.

Tiger and other athletes visited the clinic of a Canadian doctor for treatment. Think of that, a Canadian Doctor. The Doctor happened to specialize in human growth hormone injections, unique urine samples and creams but that is not important. Tiger saw a Canadian Doctor and thus put his stamp of approval on Socialized Medicine. The guy is on drugs.

Here's the thing, like President Obama said we have to eat our peas. Have the investigation, the trial could be in winter at a resort somewhere, and get as much out as the human condition allows. When it is time for moral action it won't amount to more than a couple of minutes. By then the new breed of Tigers can start training.
