Sex-addicted? No, it’s Getting Caught Syndrome

Tiger Woods has admitted responsibility for his actions. It is neither liberal nor benign to brand this a medical condition

Raymond Tallis

The futility of golf, an appalling waste of the gift of life, has been insufficiently acknowledged. I suspect that God, if he had existed and had seen the game coming, would have appreciated the positive qualities of the void and left it alone, uncontaminated by the Creation. But there are times when even golf gets interesting. The current brouhaha surrounding Tiger Woods’s exertions in the 19th hole have made the last month or so such a time.

Apparently this extraordinarily handsome, fabulously rich, wonderfully talented man has been having sex with a number of beautiful women, only one of whom is his wife. This has caused shock and amazement to those who seem to be entirely unacquainted with the history of the world. From Solomon (300 wives and 700 concubines, according to the anonymous gossip columnist of 1 Kings xi, 1-3) to Warren Beatty (an estimated 12,775 lovers), we know that those who have the power to pull will usually pull.

And the inappropriately named “Wilt” Chamberlain — a basketball star of the last century — claimed in his autobiography, appropriately titled The View From Above, that he had bedded 20,000 women or approximately 1.15 a day from his 15th birthday onwards, demonstrating how much can be achieved when (to borrow from Shaw) the maximum of temptation is combined with the maximum of opportunity. Against these heroic numbers, Woods’s alleged total of nine liaisons (though there may be more to come out of the woodwork) looks like celibacy.

This is so right, he’s sorry he got caught. JERK, I threw your autographed pix in the trash and not the recycle bin either.

A golf course is the willful misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
