One day, early in his career, Tiger was driving to a tournament down south. He passed a very nice looking golf course and seeing as he was ahead of schedule, he decided to stop and get a quick round in to limber up before the tournament. When he goes into the clubhouse, the man behind the counter gives him an incredulous look and says, "And whatta YOU want?" Tiger says, "I'd like to play a round of golf." The man replies, with a smirk on his face, " We don't allow YOUR KIND to play here. This is a very exclusive club. There is a public course about a '3 wood' down the road. You go play there!" Tiger replies, "Sir . . . Do you know who I am ?" The man says, "I ain't got a fuggin' clue, dude." "I'M TIGER WOODS", he replies. The man says, "Okay . . . so it's a 5 iron !" _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I think his back issues were the reason for changing his swing. His natural swing was doing a number on his back and knee. It was a longevity decision. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

The report I referenced of him refusing a breathalyzer was apparently wrong. This morning on the radio it was reported he blew a 0.0, twice. Looks like his prescription drugs were likely the problem. Whether or not it was a mistake or unpredictable outcome, or intentional, only Woods knows. | |||

In this very interesting article from last year, apparently Woods was obsessed with the Navy Seals and their training. One anecdote that is still told today involves Woods and half a dozen Seals going out to lunch, with a silent Woods not offering to pay the check.
The article goes deeply into his fascination with the Navy Seals. An extremely interesting read, and does not paint a very flattering picture of Woods.

Yes, he was. He was behind the wheel and the engine was running. That's driving everywhere I know of. | |||

I feel bad for the guy - - OK, I'm over it! Maybe NIKE will wake the fuck up and flush this turd's endorsement contract. He gets at least 20 mil a year from them and he can't even play golf anymore. And yes, being stoned off your ass behind the wheel of a car with 2 flat tires, blocking 1/2 of the right lane *is* Driving Under the Influence. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

There was an occasion where I happened to be in the vicinity when someone blew a line of chopped up pills. The guy immediately went from straight and normal to Tiger in that video there. I have no doubt Tiger had a prescription for whatever was in his system, just like the guy I watched turn to human jello before my eyes not too many years ago and not far from Jupiter, Fl. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I will preface this by saying that anytime I refer to “here,” or “my state,” it is Iowa, not Florida.
An evidentiary blood/urine test will likely take 4-6 weeks (or more) to be analyzed for toxicology. That's how long it would take here and our state lab is probably not nearly as busy as Florida's.
Unfortunately, impaired driving (alcohol, a controlled substance, or a combination of such substances) is about the most dangerous thing the average person does. It kills thousands of people very single year. More than 25% of the traffic fatalities in Iowa last year involved a driver that was Operating While Intoxicated. There is no telling how he was driving, but he was in bad enough condition that he passed out behind the wheel of a running car. He absolutely was endangering everyone in sight, and his “bad reaction” probably means that he was high off his ass because he took more than he was prescribed, or took drugs together that were not supposed to be taken together. Here, he would lose the prescription defense if he was found to have taken more than prescribed, or if he was found to have mixed drugs for which he had no prescription. My girlfriend's idiot step-brother skipped a class in high school one day, ate a pot brownie, and came back to school. He was so stoned he fell on his face walking down the highway. The wretch of a step-mom told us the story (after we had already gotten the real story from the responding officer), and her excuse was "Kyle got tricked into eating a pot brownie and had a bad reaction to it." His bad reaction is called "being high."
Iowa’s statues require only that you are “operating” a vehicle. Sitting behind the wheel of a running vehicle is good enough to prove operation here. If a drunk driver parked their car at a red light and passed out behind the wheel and was found a half hour later, should they not be arrested? After all, they “weren’t driving.” I would guess Florida's laws are similar. ****************************** May our caskets be made of hundred-year oak, and may we plant those trees tomorrow. | |||

Hard to watch, looks like Ambien driving. He really needs help. I'm guessing he's been on oxy and benzos for his back injuries for so long, he's become completely hooked. I'm sure his doctors prescribe him that stuff by the boatload, too. Given his history (Ambien, etc) it sounds like he's a full blown addict. Addiction doesn't discriminate. Race, wealth- doesn't matter. I hope this is his bottom, and he can put aside his pride and go to rehab and get clean for his sake and for his children. It really is sad. He could have killed someone, and if he doesn't clean up he'll definitely kill himself. NIke can't be happy either, he'll lose multiple sponsors on this one for sure. | |||

The local Capital Grille still talks about him. Years ago, in his prime, he came in for dinner a bit too late. The staff made the decision to remain open for him and his crew. You would think this would warrant a very good tip. MFer left nothing for the staff who served him after hours. | |||

I really dislike Tiger for many of the reasons already noted here. But I'm have difficulty piling on. We're watching a person totally unwind right before our eyes. Would it really surprise anyone if we read of his death in the coming weeks due to some chemical abuse? To be so blessed in life, and to throw it all away. I just find it all so incredibly saddening. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Really? Why is it sad? Let me put it this way- if this spoiled asshole died prematurely, I'd have a beer to celebrate. The asshole had the world laid at his feet, all because he hits a little ball with a club better than most people and he's managed to fuck it up. He's not a physician who discovered a cure for some awful disease. He's not a diplomat bringing peace to the world. He's an arrogant little shit playing Putt-Putt.
