Do you know which course consistently gives Tiger the most trouble?

Intercourse!

HBO - curious how the libs at HBO handle this. On the one hand he is African American. On the other he has played golf with Trump and received the Medal of Freedom.

Guessing Tiger is way too capitalist for the commies at HBO. After all, in golf you win you get paid. How horrible is that!

I'm curious as to why you people always have to bring politics into something that has nothing to do with politics.

I'm someone you'd probably consider a liberal commie (which couldn't be further from the truth, but I digress), and I'm very much looking forward to watching this documentary.

I thought it was really good. The dynamics of the force that is tiger and the hysteria behind it. His dad built tiger, but no spoiler, that relationship is really interesting and the vet it. It all makes sense.

I have said this many times and you can go thru history and find a 100 examples. Every person will have a child hood. If you take a persons child hood away as a child. They will still have a child hood. It may be at 15, 20, 25 or 30 but they will have a childhood.

Marinivich? Starting QB at USC, never had a candy bar till college, never allowed to do anything, quit, started a band.

Brittany Spears, Michael Jackson, etc... etc...

Tiger woods did not get a childhood, he played golf. The girls were his escape... I thought it was good and fair. It ended with no spoiler, with girl #1 saying, now what do you want me to talk about? Her lips look like they were stung by the entire beehive...

Pretty sure Part 2, about to get nasty...

In fairness, how he has kept winning and keeping all of that out of golf is truly amazing.

Yeah. But to be fair they made the first hour of this thing solely about race and racism in the game. It was inevitable this was going to get racial/political, and as predicted, it certainly was.

Nevermind that of all the "racism" Tiger experienced he is one of, if not the most, beloved pro athlete in the world.

But all that aside, let's talk about the doc.

As someone above posted, if this was going to turn into another jerk session I wouldn't have watched this. Tiger gets fellated enough my the media, to the point that a lot about him has been hidden from reality. It's the reason I don't like tiger. And it isnt even really his fault. I HATE the media coverage of the guy.

The interesting and most telling part of this is about Earl. Everyone knew he was a megalomaniac, but even I was surprised about some of the stuff. I went to high school with a PGA golfer and would see him out at the course all the time after school, but nobody really knew the kid because his dad was much like Earl.

Golf was his entire life and his father made sure that every waking hour was devoted to it. No social life, no friends, no dances, no parties. Literally school and golf. I guess that's what it takes. And, of course, predictably, after great start to his career and 10 good years on tour the guy marries the first piece of Ass who he meets and his career hits the toilet.

The thing that was the most telling in this wasnt about Earl being a controlling sports parent, hell, we all knew that. It was him being such a sleazy POS, cheating on his wife in front of Tiger. It's no wonder Tiger fell the way he did. It makes a lot more sense after seeing this.


Also, the cliffhanger at the end of Ep 1 was brilliant.

Who is Hunter Mahan?

I thought the doc got good about 25-30 minutes in. I learned some stuff I didn't know... like Tiger's Mom actively calling Phil "Hefty."

Earl's womanizing has been no secret, and it had been hinted at that he didn't exactly hide it... but it sounds like it was pretty brazen. And to flaunt it in front of your best friend... errrrrr kid? Trash.

A Winnebago and a Waffle house, is truly all that is needed!!!!

Wow!

I have a good friend who played against Tiger many times as a junior golfer. This guy won a state championship in HS, played college golf, then knocked around on the mini-tours for 3 years before getting an actual job leveraging his accounting degree (which I met him when we became coworkers around 2002). His main stories about Tiger were just how isolated he was. Essentially zero social interaction with other kids. He'd be off in his own world with his Walkman, he'd go chow down at Mrs Fields cookies on his own, etc. He doesn't have any ****-talking stories about him, just that no one knew him since his only friend seemed fo be Earl.

I haven't watched these episodes yet, but it sounds like that came across.

They do talk about enormous expectations and pressure which is why Tiger is the GOAT.
He exceeded just about every expectation and did it with all that pressure

Win the US Amatuer - check - did it 3 times
Will he do well enough to earn his PGA card after going pro late in the season - check - wins tournament and is in top 30 of the money list his first year
Win the Masters - check - sets all time record and then wins a few more times
Win career grand slam - check - and does it again holding all 4 at the same time
Still fun to watch his highlights.

Of all of his accomplishments, what he did across the US Jr Am and the US Am may be his greatest IMO. Only takes one off day or one day against someone playing great where you have to play even better, or it's over.
