Tiger Woods taking leave of absence from golf
Image via Wikipedia
The news was posted on his website. Tiger Woods is taking a “hiatus” from the game that brought him fame and fortune and made all those extra-marital affairs possible in the first place. Here’s how his latest statement begins:
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.
So, how soon before we hear about a Tiger’s enrollment in a clinic of some sort to treat what some have termed his sex addiction?
Woods said his decision to take some time off from the sport was based on a desire to become a “better husband, father, and person.” But can you imagine how rough it would have been for him to play a round a golf with a taunting gallery shadowing his every step? Whether his marriage can be saved, and he seems to doubt that possibility himself, he really didn’t have any other choice but to remain in hiding. The golf course, the only place I really ever cared to see the man perform (please, spare us the inevitable sex tape), has now become off limits.

ENOUGH TIGER WOODS!
Brian,
Damn you, you’re right again! OK, no more Tiger, until the sex tape, that is.
Well I didn’t say i wouldn’t look at the nude pics, hey I’m only human.

It’s a subject in general (not Tiger’s) on which I am very very very well versed. It takes a lot to impress, but I’ll keep an open mind!
BTW Happy Hanukkah, have you given the kids their foil wrapped chocolate coins yet?

Candles lit. Latkes on the table. Coins coming.
