NO! The game of golf transcends Tiger Woods. One of the big problems with golf today is the idiots in the gallery shouting “You ‘da man”. Golf is a gentleman’s game, and if people don’t know how to be gentleman, then they have no place at the table. Sorry, but this 66 year old who played golf at 8 has no use for jerks.

Tiger Woods was the man my wife and I followed. He was good for the game. He brought a lot of people to an interest for the game. While we’ve lost our respect for Tiger as a man, we haven’t lost our respect for the game. So we won’t be cheering Tiger on at his return. Perhaps someday, when he shows he’s a changed man, but not now.

However, to demean golf, to show it’s just as shallow a spectator sport as any other is wrong. It’s the one arena where people are expected to act as adults. If we as conservatives expect the right to rule this nation, then this is one small area we can show we deserve that right. It’s called adulthood.

Tucson may be a good place to return to the tour. Probably fewer “idiots” in the gallery. Plus, we have great private facilities in case of a relapse.

Jees ... It was sarcasm, a joke, kind of a wry bit of humor. Lighten up!
