I Know Pro Golfers ALL Play Around - They've Tried To Score With Me

I Know Pro Golfers ALL Play Around - They've Tried To Score With Me

By LAUREN ST JOHN 14th December 2009

Another day, another mistress. Tiger Woods's career has certainly attracted birdies in both senses of the word. But the question is how did he find the time to play golf, let alone win 14 majors and become world No1, while accumulating at least nine lovers? The answer is simple. He learned from the masters. Professional golf has a purer-than-driven-snow image - on which multi-million pound sponsors trade heavily.

That reputation is deserved on course, but it's a totally different story off course. The scandal which has engulfed Woods has been so great that, this weekend, he was forced to announce he was quitting golf for an 'indefinite period' to attempt to repair his marriage.

But while Woods has taken womanising to a whole new level, playing the field is certainly a huge part of the culture. Over a decade working as a golf correspondent, I attended the men's U.S., European and Australian tours every year, and learned that - with the exception of drugs and alcohol - everything that happens on your average rock tour, including whores and groupies, occurs in golf.

For example, almost all the thrice-married Nick Faldo's relationships have overlapped, and Greg Norman had a very brazen affair. Norman's now ex-wife Laura Andrassy accepted a reported £50 million divorce settlement after his affair with former Wimbledon champion Chris Evert - who also happened to be her best friend.

It doesn’t shock me that it occurs on the European Tour. It seems the more mistresses you have the bigger the man you are in Europe.

You know the song Ty sang to Lacey (and I’d be shocked to hear that Tiger hasn’t tried this line at least once)...

“I was born to rub you,
“I was born to lick your face,
“I was born to rub you
“But you were born to rub me first.”

There's something about men and women away from home.

I heard a bridge tournament player tell me stories once.

Anyway, screw Tiger Woods. He had everything -- anything he wanted, and a lot of things he didn't ask for: talent, a father who instilled discipline and was a canny dealmaker on his behalf, a world waiting to annoint magic negroes -- and it wasn't enough. He deserves to go down, all the way down.

Judging by her looks, sounds like she’s making it up...

Anyways, the everybody does it line, is pretty lame.

Tiger’s story is particularly fascinating due to his willingness to pretend he was someone, he clearly was not. The details of his action, are truly remarkably embarassing too, a bit beyond dallying around.

Yeah, what is the word for a person like Tiger anyways?

That arrogance, the dangerous and reckless behavior, lying into the camera, faking it all the way, but then putting on a heck of a show with the clubs?

This will sound blasphemous to Phil lovers, but I would not be surprised if something came up in regards to him. Why? Well, in the same way I would not be surprised if NOTHING came up in regards to him. Why? Because I do not know anything about him apart from what he releases by action and speech to the world in general. This applies to all professional athletes ....be they thugs in the NBA or apparently 'white collar' athletes from more erudite sporting arenas like golf. These are humans ...and they have human flaws. Tiger is a freaking sociopath, but when it comes to professional golf (and other professional sports whereby the folk are out on trips for long periods of time, have a lot of discretionary funds, and are adored by the general public) the other golfers are not necessarily cherubs in hysop white.

Thus, I think people like Phil are straight up ...but I would not be surprised if he were not. I don't know him, apart from what I see on the media.

As for Tiger ...the sociopath needs to solve his marital problems, and if that's not possible needs to cater for them financially and take a hike.

As for sports personalities in general, media luminaries (anybody remember O'Reilly and his ...erm ...vibrating tendencies), political personas ...etc etc etc ...we THINK we know them, but we do not ...we only know the carefully scripted aspects and facets that they let through. Every now and then something sneaks past (e.g. Tiger's temper tantrums), but generally we think we know people when all we know is what we are LET to see.

‘Tiger’s story is particularly fascinating due to his willingness to pretend he was someone, he clearly was not.’

Exactly, This is the major reason that this is a story. If Mr. Woods had waned to have as many skanks as he could, why get married? He has been seeing some of these women longer than he has been married.

...and Greg Norman had a very brazen affair.

And wasn't it out of Greg Norman's home that a drunken President Clinton stumbled and tore a tendon in his knee?

I wonder what they were doing all night?

What I can not understand is the entire world of celebrity endorsements. Why for example would Gillette spend over $10 million a year on an endorsement deal with Woods? Could he sell that much more shaving cream and blades? Wouldn't that money be better spent on other forms of promotion, or productdevelopement or more sales people.

If you need a spokesman, get a cartoon character they can at least be controlled. The GEICO Gecko is not about to be involved in a scandal unless GEICO wants him to be.

Woods father was a Army Special Forces Officer who later in his career was involved with Golf Courses. You really should limit your comments to subjects that you know about.....

You make my point - you say your father didn't, and that your husband doesn't. I believe YOU ...after all that is your father and husband. That is quite different from some sports, media, political, celebrity, etc personality that 99% of people have never met, yet people THINK they know when the reality is all they are aware of is an oft scripted facet that may be real or a facade ( and even when real it is 'enhanced'). Then they get disappointed when their 'hero' fights dogs, molests kids, cheats on his wife, rapes some person, etc etc.

I can believe YOU since you are talking about YOUR dear father and beloved husband. Totally believe you. I just cannot however believe what Kobe Bryant, Bill Oreilly, Obama ...or even Phil ...tell me via my interpretation of their actions on my flat screen. I do not know them, and that is also the same for most people who say their hero is above Tiger's tripe
