Oh really? That's a new one to me! So now you're also condemning the father........
Tell you what dude, why don't you cut and past the story here for all of us to read...........
It must be great not to have a moral compass. Surely you believe that adultery is wrong? Surely leaving your wife and children while you go chasing skirt is not honorable thing.
hey fan boy — go find the Daddy Woods stories yourself since you’re so interested. And I’m a middle aged woman, DUDE.
Read the wikipedia entry for Earl Jones. Tiger has 4 siblings from his father’s previous marriage. The dates show this to be the case.
Whether the wikipedia entry is true or not is another matter. But this is the information out there. Funny how you never hear about his siblings...just Tiger, the center of the universe. Not a healthy way to grow up.
He married Barbara Woods Gary (May 18, 1954, in Abilene, Kansas). Before their divorce (1968 in Ciudad Juárez, 1972 in California), they had three children: Earl Dennison Jr. called Denny (1955), Kevin Dale (1957), and Royce Renee (1961).
Woods met his future second wife in Asia. Kultida “Tida” Woods has Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry. They married on or around July 11, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York, and she bore Woods’ fourth child, Eldrick on December 30, 1975.
I CHEATED TO MAKE TIGER KING OF THE JUNGLE; SAYS EARL WOODS
Tiger may have become “America’s son” but he is still very much Earl’s boy. Father and son make a remarkable twosome.
Earl, 65, and on the mend from a triple heart bypass in February, says: “He really does Warren Trotter, better known as Really Doe, is an American rapper from Chicago, Illinois. He is affiliated with Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music family and label.
“He recognises there is lot more to be done in his life and that I’m suppose to be there to participate.”
Tiger is equally devoted to his mother, Kultida, 54. But it is the chemistry between Tiger and Earl that is compelling. They share a closeness many fathers and sons never have.
Earl admits he hasn’t always been the perfect parent. Born in Kansas, he joined the Army in 1954 and served as a Green Beret in Vietnam before becoming a lieutenant colonel.
But his absences weren’t greeted with delight by his first wife Barbara and their three children. “I was not there and I would return and see three totally different children,” he says with sadness.
“I learnt from my mistakes. Tiger was lucky in that I was there for him 100 per cent.”
Earl divorced Barbara in 1969 and in 1975 married Kultida Punsawad, an Army secretary he met while stationed in Bangkok.
From the start there was a bond, forged by Earl’s belief his child was destined for greatness and
how 10-month-old Tiger hopped from his high chair and started mimicking his dad’s golf swing.
Earl says: “I promised myself I would make two contributions to his golf game - course management and mental toughness, the latter a product of my years as a Green Beret.”
The lessons in course management taught Tiger to identify and evaluate his alternatives and choose the right one to be successful.
Then, in his 12th year it was time for him to go through the Woods’ Finishing School fin·ish·ing school
n.
A private girls’ school that stresses training in cultural subjects and social activities.
“My plan was to put Tiger through some rigorous training in mental toughness.
“The ground rules were simple. If at any time he wanted the training to end he would just mention the code word and that would be it. There were no other rules - everything goes and he could say nothing in response.
“I do not recommend it for every parent because you must know your child’s disposition and tolerance level. The sort of training I put Tiger through might be counter-productive and alienating with another child.
“With Tiger, there was never any guesswork. I knew how much he could take. So I pulled every nasty, dirty, obnoxious trick on my son every week.
“I dropped a bag of bricks at the impact of his swing. I imitated a crow’s voice while he was stroking a putt. When he was ready to hit a shot, I would toss a ball in front of him.
“I would stand in his sight and move when he was about to hit the ball. I would cough as he took the club back and say ‘Don’t hit it in the water’. Those weren’t nice things I did.
“I played with his mind and, don’t forget, he was not permitted to say a word.
“Sometimes he got so angry he would stop his club on the downward swing and glare at me. I taught him every little trick that an opponent could possibly pull on him in matchplay - and some I invented myself.
“I even - and I’m not proud to say it - cheated, just to get some reaction from him because somewhere down the line somebody was going to do it with him.
“Tiger told me later it was the most difficult time of his entire life. There were times he was so angry he wanted to destroy his clubs.
“He never forgot it was for his benefit alone, but he wouldn’t have wished this training on any other human being.
“It was equally tough on me. Some things I did didn’t fill me with joy, either. But he learned and became mentally tough.”
So far Earl’s methods haven’t left any scars. Mark O’Meara Mark Francis O’Meara (born January 13, 1957) is a professional golfer who was a prolific tournament winner on the PGA Tour and around the world from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. In 2007 he entered his first season on the Champions Tour. , practice pal and friend of Tiger says: “A couple of times Tiger has brought up the military experience his father had - a toughness, the fighter in him. Tiger feels like he has inherited some of that.”
They might be lying low at the moment, but Tiger Woods still has his doubters.
They aren’t necessarily jealous people, or even cynics, probably from their manners and their meeting place, the Cynosarges, an academy for Athenian youths], ancient school of philosophy founded c.440 B.C. by Antisthenes, a disciple of Socrates. , just hard cases who have seen golf slaughter its young.
Many felt disappointment when he didn’t win last month’s US Open.
How could someone so brilliant not whip the world- class field?
O’Meara added: “The sign of a champion is how he bounces back.”
