Golf's shît. Massive money barrier to starting to play. {Did you know Eton college has more Olympic medals in Equestrian, rowing and sailing than the entire continent of Africa?}Quote:

Right. And isn't he only now at the age when the greatest players started really winning? Old Man's game and a' that..?
Always seemed ridiculous to write him off.

Woods just seems a normal, ordinary bloke to me. Apart from his golf game.
Frankly, you can't have it both ways. How does describing him as not charismatic and off-puttingly dour square with the fact that you also choose to pull away your skirts and banter him off for banging lots of random beaver left, right and centre?
Perhaps if the papers had been prepared to talk about his tawdry sex-capades before, he might never have been thought of as being not c and o-p d in the first place.
Seriously, people get told off for being boring and then when it turns out they are , in fact, very much not boring at all, they get told off for that too :homer:
