I don't play golf. I mean, I've played mini-golf, and I think that Happy Gilmore is one of Adam Sandler's best movies co-starring Carl Weathers, but that doesn't make me a golf fan or a player of the game.
If Tiger Woods is supposed to be a role model, it seems founded on him being a hard working dude with a golf club, not Casey Jones like, but that's another story. Which is why he's so good and a champion and all that. And why he got all those promotional deals.
So why is he apologizing? I mean, to everybody? Yes, he obviously got his shit to take care of with his family, but what's that got to do with me?
If he had been on the 'roids, that's one thing. He didn't do what his "image" was, in other words, he wouldn't actually be a badass golfer. But, that's not what happened. Whatever he did do with all that trim, didn't affect his status as a badass golfer.
He's a cheater, but he didn't cheat at golf.
So he doesn't exactly owe the public anything for viewing him as something other than some guy that hits little white balls really well. Even the ads with his face don't exactly convey more than that.
So he didn't actually let us down, now did he?
