Oh it doesn’t take away from his sporting legacy? Please tell me why it is different if you swing a baseball bat or ride a racing bike you’re guilty and are disgraced, but a golf club protects you from criticism and DE-Idolization?

Firstly, off the course, he can be guilty of whatever, but his sporting legacy is the same

secondly, the same thing for baseball or bike racers who cheat on their wives -- bad guys off the field, but no detraction from their sporting legacies

I have no opinion about steroids and sports, but as an avid golfer, I know that no drug helps a golfer to make putts.

If you watched the open yesterday, Tiger was in position to shoot a decent round, but he could not make a 5-7 foot putt all day.

I don't care a whit about Tiger Woods, but he was one of the best golfers of all time, with or without steroids, because he made putts when he had to make them.

I've been hitting the ball exceptionally well this year, but I'm not scoring at my handicap because my putter has taken the season off {actually it's my fourth putter and they all have taken the season off}.

It is costing me all of my beer money, and some of Ted Cruz's donations {that is a joke, I think}.
