Wow. Such harsh comments. I just don't see the big deal. Did I read the wrong article? I have to admit, when I read the title I was expecting much worse than that. For entertainment purposes, it was a bit of a let down Sure, it wasn't a nice thing to say and this is a gentleman's game. But Tiger Woods is golf and let's just say he's not the biggest gentleman.

Jeez, the kid is 7 years old, do you expect his entire behaviour to reflect that of his parents? Kids will be kids.

No. The kid had to learn that behavior from somewhere.

My kid's seven. She'd never do anything like that.

This will be the same kid who grows up and runs on a baseball field...after asking dad for permission. And dad will say yes.

Yesterday I was at the market with my 13 month old and over heard 2 girls, probably 7-8 years old make a comment to their mom about a cover of a National Enquirer-type magazine. "Mommy, isn't this the girl you said acted retarded on TV?" "Yeah, that's her, she's stupid." Couldn't believe it. I guess I was raised much different.

As someone who is still a minor, I am confident in saying that kids will only do these things if you let them. They don't make these things up, they either see you do them or they see them on TV. It is the parents' job to make sure that doesn't happen.

I grew up not saying a single curse word whenever my parents were around. On school and when hanging out with friends though, I had a far more foul language. I surely didn't pick that up from home. You left out the option of the kid seeing these things through TV, internet or other kids at school.

Wrong. Kids will be the type of kids they are raised to be. It doesn't matter what their personality, temperment, or level of patience is, ALL kids can be taught to exercise self-discipline and show respect. This is clearly the fault of the parent. Dad is a scumbag and so is mom.

His parents are scumbags? You sound like a d-bag. You don't know his parents. The kid didn't even use foul language. He just told Tiger to kiss his #1 ranking goodbye. That is hardly talking trash. I hope your kid never goes to a football game, basketball game, or hockey game...

Point of fact is you can't control them entirely and it's näive to think you can. The best parents in the world may end up with a nightmare child for some reason or another.

I don't know what the kid did or said and don't care. I do know that a kid may say something or do something that is not from his parents but another kid or a sibling. Slapping the kid in the back of the head? Go ahead but when you are charged with physical abuse of your child then you can justify your behavior by saying that you were protecting Tiger. Since when is Tiger, who swears openly and drops F bombs within hearing distance of gallery and network mics, deserving of such protection and all that respect.

There are instances of rude behavior by spectators in many professional sports. Golf is a game for the gentler society but things are not perfect anymore. I am sorry that a 7 year old offended the Tiger. I wonder what his children might have to say to him some day. Oh Yea! " Tiger I wouldn't be slapping your children in the back of the head if I were you."

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By DaveP043 ·

      Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

      Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
