Tiger Woods

Wow, is all I can say. I watched every shot of the US Open Playoff at a bar during my 4 hour power lunch. I was not alone, there were people tuned in with me, people I had never met before but we watched the whole thing together and the play was amazing. Tiger Woods is the toughest man alive, I think he should run for president, and that is not a joke, I really think he should, actually I want him to and if he needs a campaign manager I will be that man. Back to golf, when Rocco was down 3 I got up to leave, but I thought this little guy might fight the Tiger and get back in this thing, well he did and he was one putt away from winning the US Open. It was a great day for golf and a great day for Tiger and for Rocco. I kept asking my dad one question the whole weekend, is Tiger the greatest golfer of all time, how would he stack up against Jack Nicklaus, and his response was always, tough, I don't know. I just wish there was a way to see Jack in his prime and Tiger in his prime play against each other, that would be some good golf. It will always be a debate, but as far as my generation is concerned, Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time.

tiger is the best - some people say he is snobby - I say confident - if any athlete in the world has a reason to be confident it is Tiger - before him I would not even watch golf - he brought back excitement to a game that really needed it - Go Tiger!!

TIGER TIGER WOODS YA'LL!!!

If I could eat lunch with anyone in the world it would be Tiger Woods. He relates to so many people in so many different ways. His realtionship with his father through golf, and his pops passing around the same time as mine. I know how he feels, and he is encouraging to watch. He also has a little girl that is the same age as my daughter. Which I loved her reaching back for her daddy after he handed her back to her mom when he was about to get his trophy. Classic!!! Shes the trophy mane!!!He also drops more F Bombs on the tour than anyone, he has a temper. Something I can relate too just a little bit. HAHA

A good book to read is the autobio of John Daly. Another player I would like to eat lunch with, but we would probably buy out the bar and get super-crazy, so that might not be such a good idea. It a good book, and a easy read. Check it out

Tiger is not snobby at all, who says that, they better stop talking bad about Tiger. He is nice to all competitors, he is beyond respected in the game, everyone loves him, and he saved golf. I am just scared about when he leaves the game, I don't care what anyone says, no one has replaced Michael Jordan. Big Ben, I will have to read that book, and Tiger would be a great lunch companion. That is a great blog idea.....
