How could it not be a domestic dispute?
When my dad did this, it was war when my mom "talked" to him.
If your man did this, would you just slap his wrist and say 'bad boy'?
 
What is the difference between a golf ball and an SUV? Tiger can drive a golf ball more than 300 yards!:roflmao:

What were Tiger and his wife doing out at 2:30 in the morning - they went clubbing. :roflmao:

Did you hear Phil Mickelson called Tiger's wife asking how to beat him?:roflmao:



:noevil: sorry, couldn't resist.:paperbag:

Also, keep in mind that there ARE other golfers that ARE NOT white. ChicChi Rodriguez and Lee Trevino come to mind... Puerto Rican and Mexican respectively. Vijay Singh and Anthony Kim are two others that come to mind.

That is correct Meetz. However, it was Tiger Woods who was the first one to break the racial barrier. Once he was in, they could not turn others away who were eliglible. The ones you mentioned came in after Tiger Woods.

If the situation were reversed, if it was rumoured that Tiger had gone after his wife with a golf club, because she had cheated, would we be laughing about it?

Violence doesn't belong in a relationship regardless of who is doing it, who the victim is, or what the reasons are.



Ruth, I know ChiChi came before Tiger, I don't know about Lee Trevino, but Tiger most definitely did break the barrier for blacks. That's no small thing.

Hey Cathy, that is a great list. I am only going to give the modern ones:

1. Hugo Weaving-an actor
2. Neil Young- muscian
3. Agatha Christie-crime and romantic novels
4. Danny Glover-actor
5. Theodore Roosevelt the 26th President
6. Bud Abbott-1895-1974 of the famous Abbott and Costello comedy team. There most famous act was about baseball Who's on First!! I have most of their movies.
7. Truman Capote-a writer

Tiger Woods? Can he be listed with the other famous people?

These were all creative people with epilepsy. There must be a link between creativity and epilepsy. I have always thought so. I wonder who else that we do not know?

How many of these people that had epilepsy led squeaky clean lives? How many of us at CWE lead really clean lives? No matter what his personal life, I still believe that Tiger Woods has epilepsy.

Where were they going in the middle of the night? That has come up time and time again. My husband and I sometimes go for a drive when we cannot sleep. I guess that makes us suspicious characters.
 
Thank you occb, for your comments with respect to domestic violence - they mirror my feelings exactly.

However, I must add that there has been no confirmed accounts (other than media speculation) that Tiger Woods has been 'beaten up' by his wife. And if he has, does this make it right?

If jokes were made about a female celebrity in this way, would that be considered acceptable?

Interestingly enough, I posted the 'christmas card' image on my facebook profile last night and posed the exact same question. Interesting debate.

Ruth - I'm sorry, but I do have to firmly disagree with you regarding Tiger having epilepsy. We are not privvy to ALL the facts (and nor should we be).

In my opinion, I live a clean life - but we all have different standards and morals so therefore, my opinion is of course subjective.

The one consistent thing that is being said is:

Windmere Police Chief Daniel Saylor said Wood's wife usad a golf club to smash out the back window and helped to get the golfer out of the car following the crash.

The reason the golf clubs were in the car: they were on their way to The Thousand Oaks PGA tournament in California. It started today. The domestic violence stopped them from getting there.
 
I'm sorry... but I fail to see how the wife using a golf club to smash out the back window of his car to help get him out can be considered as domestic violence?!

Again... I am speculating here... but yes, maybe they had an argument... but it certainly does not indicate that there was any violence.

Ruth - I do respect your opinion, but I am just giving mine too :)

why do you keep insisting this? I would never insist someone has a disorder if it were not fact.

I do not want any misunderstandings. I am not accusing anyone of not leading a clean life at CWE. I worded it wrong. I apologize. There was domestic violence because Tiger Wood's confessed to it.

I am sure the other's agree with you about his having epilepsy. I do think it is a possiblility, though.

Matchu, you are right. I have no definite facts to back it up. If he does, the media will find out.

According to the full transcipt of Tiger's Woods Confession (Click Here) I point out the following paragraph of this transcript:

"The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect."

I wrote "if it was rumoured", because that's all it is at this time -- even still, a rumour of a man beating up a woman is not treated with the same kind of levity. When it was still just a rumour that Chris Brown had beaten up Rhianna, many people's responses were different. This kind of humour upholds the common societal attitude that violence against a man is a-okay.
 
That is correct. The next door neighbor says that Tiger Woods was on the passenger side lying down. Elin asked him to call 911. She stayed by Tiger Woods side until the ambulance came. The neighbor even went to check to see if Tiger Woods was breathing.

The car accident had absolutely nothing to do with domestic violence. Like I said, they were on their way to probably go to an airplane. He was supposed to have played yesterday at the Thousand Oaks PGA tounament in California.

If Tiger Wood's does have epilepsy, he could really be an advocate for all of us. Something was physically wrong with him. Elin did have to smash the window to get him out of the car.

It is other's who have been saying that the car accident was due to the domestic violence. The way that car was smashed up, they both could have been killed.

Lately, it has been on the news that on some cars the brakes suddenly quit working. There has been a recall of Toyata's over it, including the Lexus. That is a real possibility of what caused the car accident.
 
My personal opinion is that the wife smashed up the windows of his car, before he drove off. Because 2 of them were broken. and how does a woman of her size drag tiger over and around the driver seat, then the back seat and up through the window and safely to the ground. If he was in and out of conciousness, then she should not have moved him. it could have been possible that there was severe head, nexk or back injury, and moving him could have killed him.

His injuries the police say, were consistent with being in teh accident and not with physical abuse. Which begs the question again of how did he crash so bad, just by attempting to pull out the drive way? I'm sure he's backed out several times before. and at that speed. If he was 'trying to escape the wrath of his wife and a golf club' he was being stupid. he is already in the vehicle. locked the doors and can drive off safely. plus someone would have heard them shouting.

I think she just smashed them before she told him she knew. sort of like the song "before he cheats" by carrie underwood. Wreck his car, to prove a point.

I do not believe in any way, shape, or form that he has had or has seizures. He would not waste his time advertising for gilette, when he can advertise for something that means more to him. Christina Apllegate advertises for breastcancer, because she is a survivor. Amy Lee advertises for Epilepsy because her brother has it.

There is lots that doesnt add p, but until more is released from Tiger himself, or his wife, then we cant prove or disprove anything.
 
Actually, there's

two things to know:

First, Lee Elder broke the black color barrier in the PGA much earlier than Tiger. He played in the Masters in 1975. Please see the following link:

Lee Elder

Also, there are quite a few other black golf professionals in the PGA, too. They just are not as well known. Please see the following link.

African American Golf Professionals

Hope this helps clear up some confusion.
