With all of the negative attention thrust upon Tiger Woods lately (albeit by his own doing) and the constant bad news we all hear on an almost daily basis, I for one have begun to grow tired of the circus it has become. Quite frankly, it’s just getting boring and old now. Actually, it’s well beyond that point. Between the photos of Elin without her ring, stories of impending divorce, meetings with the local police department, reports of sponsors dropping like flies and even now the steroid rumors, I’m almost starting to feel bad for the guy. Further, I’m starting to feel that someone should attempt to again shed a positive light on a great golfer who, despite his “transgressions,” is a charitable, giving human being who has done much for many people in many communities. But that someone is not me.
Instead, I’m looking at the Tiger Woods revitalization project from a slightly different angle. My feeling is, at this point, many people are no longer concerned with Tiger Woods the golfer. They are now concerned with nothing more than Tiger Woods the name. I’m willing to bet the majority of people who follow the Tiger Woods drama are not even golf fans. They are simply interested in the name, not the person. Well, I think it’s time we reassociate the name Tiger Woods with a champion.
What if I was to introduce you to a Tiger Woods that no one knows? A Tiger Woods still associated with winning tournaments. A Tiger Woods who is probably encouraged to have “relations” with several other females, and everyone around him is OK with it! Sound crazy? Well it’s not. Ladies and gentlemen….I give you….Tiger Woods:
Tiger Woods is a seven year old (soon to be eight) Scottish Deerhound. He has won four tournaments over the past two years including back-to-back best in breed winners at the prestigious 2008 and 2009 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. He also had a strong showing at the 2008-2009 American Kennel Club Dog Show, finishing second in his breed.
When asked about the choice of the Tiger Woods name for her dog, owner Gayle Bontecou (who is an avid golfer) responded, “He’s really good. They both are total athletes” You’ll get no argument from me.
And in case anyone was wondering about the “relations,” or “breeding” as it’s called in dog show circles, the answer is yes – Tiger Woods does carry the moniker “baby daddy.” Tiger is father to a bundle of joy by the name of…..Ping. Ping? Not Nike? Or Sumo? Sasquatch? I guess Ms. Bontecou is only a fan of the man….not the equipment.
So there you have it. The name Tiger Woods is once again associated with a great competitor, champion and “total athlete.” The Tiger Woods revitalization project is now off the ground. Please join me in my quest to restore order to the world of Woods. Thank you.
