Where did I say that I think Haney is a great guy? Unlike you, apparently, I just don't think Haney's goal was to do a hatchet job on Tiger. You can believe what you want to believe. Bye.

I am a huge Tiger fan but I agree with your assessment.  However it is disturbing that HH would publish Tiger's comments on other pro olfers because he still has to play with them and against them  For instance, Ian Poulter is on Tiger's Albany team in the Tavisock cup coming up this monday.

And I think that it must be noted by ALL tiger fans that this was HH intrepetation PRIOR to the scandal.  Afterwards, I think Tiger is much changed inside.  And I don't think he is letting his fame get to his head like he did before. 

Stonewall, how ironic that you, of all people, should tell someone else to get a life. Ironic, indeed.
I'm well aware that Jaime Diaz, a well-respected writer, "helped" Haney put the book together. I dare say that Diaz would not have done so if he didn't feel comfortable with the subject matter and its intent. As usual, though, you don't address the real issues. If there are actual non-truths in this book, why hasn't Tiger's legal team sprung into action?

Thanks, granny. I understand your concerns and they're certainly valid. I'm sure Tiger is a changed person after the scandal. Going through something like that, with all of the related media scrutiny, would pretty much change any of us.

Overheard Hank Haney crying while I was hiding in the bushes at Tigers:

WAH! WAH! WAH!!! I am going to go tell my mommy that Tiger won't give me a popsicle.

Next Excerpt: WAH! WAH! WAH!!!! Tiger won't give me the time of day!

What goes around Mr. Hiney comes around!!!!!!!!

Again, it is always your choice what you post...... and I respect that.  I will never buy the book or read the book.  We can agree to disagree as to whether excerpts belong on the forum.  It is just a matter of personal opinion and you are indeed entitled to yours!

I am one of those folk who does not watch a tournament unless TW is playing and no matter where he is in the standings, am only interested in watching him play. 

That said, I think Haney is trying to paint the picture (in an awkward non-writer way) of TW not being the type to go out of his way to make others in his presence feel comfortable.  Which I don't think should come as a surprise to anyone on this board.  TW has never been known as a sweety pie and his true fans don't expect him to be.  I'm realistic to know that TW would probably not let someone like me, African American woman, into his inner circle, as I've never seen him casually with that type woman.  Not dating or in photos with friends, etc.  I find this unusal for a black man, so I cannot say that I think TW is totally put together tight. 

Haney's comments about TW's and Elin's conversations gives me a bit of insight, because, I've always thought Elin left too quickly and thought she may  have been ready to leave and just took "the" incident as an opportunity to do so. 

I don't think we have to get up in arms over anything Haney or anyone else that works with TW says about him.  He's not the type to invoke loyalty among many that know him and that's his issue.  We can still love him for the golfer he is and enjoy his game.
