Tiger's Statement...The Message Between the Lines

[juanrjackson]

I was listening very close to Tiger's statement today. Reading between the lines & what Tiger was really saying was the top golfers....Stricker, Mickelson, Westwood, etc had caught up with him as far as skill and talent. Because of that:

1) he needs more time off to practice

2) he will be changing from using Nike to Callaway irons so he can

3) play Super Game Improvement irons.....Callaway FT ibrid irons to be specific

4) play a Guerin Rife 2-Bar Belly Putter to improve his putting.

Hopefully after a year of practice Tiger can make it back to being a Top 10 golfer

BTW, Not sure about reading pre-written statement word to word without giving any chance for single question…..under perfect control of the situation. Not a good sign for a sincere apology.

I think you missed the bit where he intimated the need to work with Butch Harmon on his wrist action.

[colin007]

you all missed where he said he was going to go with the HAMMER driver and 3 wood. POW!!!!

Honestly, at this point who cares what he said. I'm Tiger fan because he is probably the best golfer out there. No other reason. I don't care if he's sorry. All I care about is whether or not he is going to play in Masters and the US and British Open

Working on his wrist action could have saved him a lot of trouble.

Who's Tiger?

[dblbgy17]

i felt the same way about the whole situation. he seemed like a robot reciting a programmed apology. (robot voice - " i am sorry. i was wrong. i have no emotions". c'mon, his mom was sitting 5ft in front of him and he didn't tear up at all. maybe i'm not as much of a man as tiger but if i made the mistakes he has and made a public apology with my mom front and center...i would at least shed one tear of disappointment in myself.

Methinks he had already cried a river so the pump was temporarily dry.

'Hopper: LOL.

The Message between the lines. . . hmmmn. (scratching head)


1) Buddha was a scratch player? A ha....I knew that Liberal Studies class in college would help me out one day, who'da thought?

2) The Crouching Tiger who didn't see that hidden hydrant on that eventful night, now sees all and discovers the '4 Noble Truths' of golf.....and no not from Jim Hardy.

3) This once fierce cat seems to have been declawed....good news for the guys on Tour.

Sounds like he's been using it too much already.

[TakeDeadAim]

So he used to vent out his injuries and lack of wins on the course with some extramarital sex... now that ends... I pitty the rest of the players on tour when he returns to vent out his marital frustrations on the golf course... watchout !!!

How has everyone (including professional phsycologists) missed the fact that his extra-marital affaires and other ranting raves in his personal life have little to do with sex addiction, but rather with a keen sense of lack of purpose and direction in his life since his dad died? He tried to cover that HUGE loss by creating a family, but the void of his dad and the focus he gave tiger was too much to cover. He became an adult the day his father passed away and it has been overwhelming for Tiger at some point.

Let him mature on his own so that he can return to the course and fulfill his own destiny. The greatest golf player ever to be born.

Not sure if this is reading between the lines, as the thread suggests... ;)

[clubhousehero]

Um...he was having affairs long before his dad died. One of the girls even claimed she was in bed with him when he found out his father died.

Tiger will NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be my favourite because his on course behavior shocks me
