Golf date for Tiger and Obama?
What happened when the golf-world No. 1 met the real-world No. 1? They made plans to play golf, of course.
Tiger Woods uncharacteristically got involved in politics last month when he spoke at the inauguration celebration for President Barack Obama. Although his speech was decidedly nonpolitical -- he praised military families, a subject important to him because he grew up in one -- Woods's presence alone attracted interest and comments from sports fans around the country.
However, we never heard what he and Obama talked about. In his newsletter released Tuesday, Woods filled us in.
"He was very busy, so we didn't get to talk much," Woods said of Obama. "I didn't want to get in his way. I did ask him if he wanted to play golf and he said, 'I'd love to.' So we'll make it happen. I think the thing that impressed me the most about him was the way he carries himself. He has great leadership qualities, and his accomplishment truly embodies what's best about America. He represents what we as Americans have in common, not perceived differences."

I am going to guess that Zayre lives a pretty miserable life.

Yes, I imagine McRage and his 70 houses never had any tax problems. Nobody is clean on either side. B screwed up and he admitted it. That's a hell lot more than Di

Tiger, I wish you the best and I admire what you are doing through your Foundation and Learning Centre, helping youth, and honouring the Military and your father through the AT&T National. You have proven yourself in golf (I do not care if you win 18 majors or not - 14 is fine with me) but most of all I admire how you are going about your life, taking care of your family and helping others and admiring what is best in people as HUMAN BEINGS rather than the colour of their skins - what unifies instead of what separates. Congratulations Tiger and God bless!
