Boo Hoo Tiger Throws Greenside Tantrum
Good thing I was rolling on a late “Sportscenter at the US Open” highlight special on Friday night after midnight. ESPN actually showed the Tiger scuff of the green following a missed 10 footer.
This guy is unbelievable. When have you EVER seen a PGA Tour player intentionally damage a PUTTING surface in a fit of anger? Me: never. Never! Look, I won’t claim that I personally have never done it, because I have. But I’m not a pro. And pros just don’t do that.
Hell, if Tiger’s ball rolls over a dead gnat and gets knocked off line by one micrometer, he’ll pull his hat over his head and act like somebody just shot him in the back. And yet he pulled this crap on Friday, and reportedly did a half ass job of “repairing” the scuff mark. Too bad his playing partner didn’t have the balls to get up in his grill right there on TV and say: “you gonna fix that, Eldork?”
Tom Boswell of the Washington Post took time and space in his column to take Tiger to task, even though the TV types were amazingly timid.
In the second round after missing a 10-foot par putt, Tiger Woods (three shots out of the lead) violently dragged his putter across the green in anger. This shocking outburst left a three-foot sequence of marks in the green, perhaps a dozen of them, all at least an inch long and cutting through the grass down to the dirt.Woods then swiped his putter backhanded across the damage he had done, perhaps “repairing” half of the marks.
If he’d been playing on a public course and pulled such a stunt, he’d probably have had a visit on the next tee from the four very angry golfers playing behind him.
In the most ridiculous understatement of the year, Andy North said on ESPN simply: “And Tiger really shouldn’t do that.”
Yeah, ya think? There are rules, and then there are “Tiger Rules.” And the media silence was deafening.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve:
When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules".
I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down.
See ya, donkey,
Terry Rindt
