Ignoring the laws and exceeding the speed limits have consequences.

You starting with that shit again?

Why are you so hostile? I was not even having an exchange with you.

Local law enforcement spokesperson: “there was no indication of impaired condition of the driver”.

I guess they skipped the part about having the driver walk a straight line after they extracted him.

Discounting the fact he drove a vehicle off the road in a single-car accident, the spokesperson is spot-on. Nothing to see there, move along.

I’m waiting for the part when Eldrick says he saw a blonde woman who looked like his highly mistreated ex-wife standing in the middle of the road with a 5-iron cocked and ready to swing at him. He swerved to miss her, and by the way, he is such a great guy for doing that.

all later model vehicles have an obd 2 compliant port that can be plugged into and scanned with computers to access any information necessary for crash situations as well as state run emission inspection stations...

and used for reprogramming performance upgrades if so desired...

Yes. This came from a report by the “Daily Mail.” However they misspelled the name for the Tibia bone. Their article:

This injury is going to wreak havoc with his propensity for opiate addiction. Frankly, I think he will be very lucky just to keep his leg, and not get osteo
Or God forbid, throw an embolism during his recovery.

Just like all those “OJ Broncos” you see for sale, I’m betting every wrecked Hyundai Genesis SUV winds up on eBay as a Tiger special.

Wow...that’s a great visual. The fact that they can even PUT him back together is truly miraculous.

You’re right. Golf will go on and on. Tiger was among the greatest ever, but new stars shine every year.

Maybe it is the British name for the Tibia bone. LOL! The article showing the image of Tiger’s leg was published by the “Daily Mail.” Here is that article:

I was not even having an exchange with you.

You've been here as long as I have dude and you should know by now that you are commenting on an open forum. You don't like responses to your comments then don't post any......Especially if they are stupid.

Take your whine somewhere else.......And I'll send you some crackers and cheese if you want

He is surely getting antibiotics to lower risk infection, and a blood thinner of sorts to minimize risk of blood clots.

From one of the descriptions, it sounds like Tiger had acute Compartment Syndrome, a critical emergency situation, where treatment delay is the enemy.

He’s probably grieving Rush. They were close friends and often golfed together. Tiger lives just up the road from where Rush lived.

I didn’t know that.. He will play golf again but not professionally!!!

He’s my favorite golfer to watch and I hope he makes a full recovery, but I’m telling you that guy can’t drive. He also has anger issues.
