And Mike Weir, and Phil Mickelson, and Vijay Singh, and Ernie Els, etc. etc. etc… I got a ticket for the final day of the President’s Cup in Montreal! Woo hoo! I have a feeling I am about to be extremely impressed, and humbled. ---

Don’t forget to shout ‘Get in the hole!’ when he tees off on a par 5. Seriously, I’m jealous. It’s looking like a perfect weekend, weatherwise, for watching golf. ---

I’ve seen Tiger a couple times…he’s a very nice guy especially when he is playing well. However, I have heard through the golfing grapevine he can be a little terse if he’s having a bad day… Oh and catching him swearing at the Camera Men is a very fun thing to see… ---

He really likes it if you use your cellphone to click a pic right in the middle of his backswing. Be sure to post your pics here! ---

Tiger Woods finds himself in Mississippi on a business trip. Deciding to take a busman’s holiday he goes to the nearest country club and asks to play a round. The club steward says, “I’m sorry, but this club is reserved for members only…who are white. There’s a club down the road not very far that would probably let you play. They allow … non-white people to play. It isn’t very far at all…you could probably hit a golf ball to the entrance with a 3 wood.” Tiger is astonished and deeply offended. He says, “You don’t understand…I’m Tiger Woods.” The club steward says, “Oh, in the case it’ll only be long iron and a pitching wedge.” Terrible, I know. ---

[QUOTE=EJsGirl] It’s about Tiger’s legendary drives… [/QUOTE] I get that, but… I guess you have to be a golfer to understand. “3 wood - only a long iron and a pitching wedge,” makes no sense in golf terms. If you can make it there in one shot, why would Tiger Woods want to take two? ---

I was 5 feet away from Tiger teeing off in Doral a few years ago. The golf ball should have arrested him for battery after getting hit that fucking hard. Oh, and he’s a bit bigger in person. ---
