About Tiger

I don't know why this is in the news so much. It seems that every comedian and newscaster has him as there number one target. It doesn't surprise me when famous people have affairs. Why does it interest us? Tiger was raised to be a golfer. He started so young that I am sure he did not have a part in the decision. He was made so good at it that he couldn't see himself doing anything else. Mickey Mantle (famous baseball player) was taught to switch hit by his father and uncle when he was five years old. It is one thing to live your dream it is another to live someone else's- like your parents. But then again it is good to have a dream if you don't happen to have one of your own. What did we expect from Tiger? Most of his life was traveling. Lots and lots of hotels. A lonley life of a star athlete. Why do we blame him for seeking out comfort. He gave us such moments! Those long putts! And long drives! Let his personal life be his own. I am a little afraid what taking away this secret life might do to him. It was all that he had of himself.
