II'm a retiree now, so I have LOTS of time to watch the various sports shows and blogs for reactions to Tiger's dispalys at the Masters. IMHO, the reactions to it are much worse on golf shows/blogs than other sports shows. However, it is common on all of them, It is a negative view of Tiger. As a fan, I certainly defend Tiger whenever he comes up among my golf buddies, but the club kicking is really inexcusable.

Whether we like it or not, Tiger will continue to get more negative press on his actions, regardless of the actions from other golfers. In the future, better couse management and controlled shots will change all for the better.

Well said TCN.

    Tiger was a disgrace. He kicked the club. No one else. He needs to be heavily fined.

  I'd fine Stenson and the rest as well.  Tiger swore for 4 days and his  behavior on 16 was astoundingly bad.

 This defense of " Tiger isn't the only one." is getting a bit thin.

well said, tcnbtx.

i agree.

TIGER WOODS IS THE BEST!

Tiger is not the only one with poor course management and bad behavior.

if you want to call and express (nicely) your opinion to the pga tour here

are some numbers i copied from the "contact  us" link on pgatour.com.

if you don't want to talk to them nicely, don't bother talking.  they will probably

hang up.   and i would not blame them.   lol !!!


there have been people (while watching t.v. ) who have called and reported infractions of other

golfers  during tourneys and caused them to be disqualified.

so.   if you or your friends see other golfers  exhibiting bad behavior while you are:

at a tourney

or

watching on television

try one of the numbers below to report it. 

make sure you indicate the hole on which it happened.

and make sure you know the golfers name.  
this part has to be correct.   :-)

tape the tourney so you can send them video of it.   if you have a camera with you or

on your phone, take a pic.   if you have a video camera, video tape it and send it to the

pga.  

one thing for sure.   Tiger is gonna get most of the ink (attention)  at a tourney.

MOST EYES AND CAMERAS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON HIM. 

and to be honest, the pga officials can't be everywhere on a HUGE GOLF COURSE AND SEE

EVERYTHING.   and i am not speaking about the marshalls.   they are volunteers.

i am talking about officials. 

SO:

below are the numbers i copied from the pga tour website.
i have never called but i just got this from pgatour.com on their
"contact us"  link.
one of these numbers ought to work.    there is also an email address.

Say you well-informed TW Fanatics, in what tournament is Tiger next playing?  I must have missed the announcement or he has not commited yet.  I am hopelessly bored on days he is not playing.

We are still waiting for him to tell us........

Ok.  Thanks, Paul.

I remember that Australian open club toss issue, and it was just before all heck broke loose in his life. I just wish he would not give the public, who are not fans, and the media more ammunition to hammer on him.

 

good point, gppg.

i agree.

Osubass, I was standing right behind Tiger when that incident happened. Tiger didn't throw his club at all. He let it go, but unfortunately it bounced, and instead of falling to the ground, it went into the crowd. Actually, no one was really bothered by it ,as we could all see it wasn't a bad tempted throw, but a frustrated drop. sometimes the video's just don't show exactly what happened. Kongo
