I’ve read 53% of Hank Haney’s The Big Miss. I heard Bob Blitz’s radio interview with Hank (thanks Beat for the link). I agree with the “vocal” Bob’s points. I have a few of my own.

The book is not just about golf. The book reads a lot more like a high-end tabloid. Haney claimed many readers enjoyed reading his book. Given the fact, majority people in this culture love to read gossips. They are dying to find out other people’s private life. That’s why tabloids are in the big business to make money.

Haney wrote about his opinion about Tiger based on his privileged rights to observe Tiger and Tiger’s private life while he was coaching Tiger. This is like firing a shotgun with a barrage of cheap shots in the most disgusting way. Haney made his opinion like the truth. That is the danger of Haney’s biased opinions that project a public deception on to the one who put the trust in him. Those observations about Phil, Jack, Ian, and others all came from Haney’s mind. At the time, Haney was a trusted friend. His observations, opinions no matter how biased they might be (all based on his interpretations of his observations on certain events, conversations, and exchanges), unfortunately project a negative image of Tiger.

I am big fan of Tiger. No one is perfect. Tiger deserves the rights to be project in a truthful way not someone's interpretations of what Tiger thinks, acts and reacts to things in a self-serving way.

So it too has a wedgy from sitting on the fence.

Just because you rip-off a 7-11 it's OK if I do too.

I'd welcome you back, but  I don't  see that happening.

Most of the positive comments I've read about the book come from card carrying Tiger haters. I knew they would love it. There are a few fans that say it is a good read but, they also point out it is an invasion of privacy.

Loved it !! Hank Hiney  couldn't take the heat , so he hung up!! LOL!!!

No hokus pukeus.......Haney lied on video saying it was about GOLF!  Sorry to tell you this but they are all ready to put them on the shelves at Walmart for $4.99.  That's what Palin had to do to make her first book a best seller.  Now, let's be honest, how many usernames do you have on this sight?  Simple question, simple answer! 

AND the bottom line, remember what Webb Simpson said about the galleries leaving after Tiger withdrew AND the galleries we saw surrounding Tiger at Bayhill.....from tee to green on every hole just waiting for him to get that PGA win!  Actions are louder than words. 

Ahhh yes, I knew I would get into the mix.

How has WillieBgone (among other names) been doing ?

It is so easy to spot them, right E21 ?

C'mon, Paddy...quit making stuff up. What Walmart has Haney's book on the shelf for $4.99? The book is selling for $15.59 on Walmart's website, and is the same price (actually $15.60) on Amazon.com, where it's #12 on the best seller list. I understand that you're not a member of Hank Haney's fan club, but at least be truthful.
