Go Tiger

Congratulations to Tiger badboy woods. 3 Open championships and 11 majors in all.

I felt for him when he started crying at the end and i was surprised. He didnt at all look like he was going to cry a minute before and was really pleased when the ball went in for the win. A few seconds later and he is in tears. Good for him i suppose. Losing a parent is hard and if his dad was watching, i'm sure he'd be really pleased for him.

Before the championship started, my knowledge of golf was quite poor. I knew that having a -score was good and +score was bad and obviously that the whole point is to putt the ball. I watched the open from Thursday to Yesterday although not solidly and still couldnt get it.
Well after watching it for 4 hours solid after Tiger teed off, i now know what Eagle, Birdie, Parr and Bogey shots are. Its quite simple once you get the hang of it but then i suppose everything is. Golf has got a bad reputation IMO, a lot of people make out like its a posh game played by the privileged. They especially say its boring. I didnt think it was boring. I watched it 4 hours solid and that in itself says it isnt boring. So a tick next to golf in the list of sports that i understand and can now actively watch.

Its quite an impressive list.
Golf
Cricket
Formula 1,
Basketball (i dont have sky so i dont get to watch it a lot)
Tennis
Athletics.
All good sports and butt kickers in their own right.

The daddy of course is Football. And no my american cousins its not called soccer its football.
Unfortunately for me, the season doesnt start for another 4 weeks. aarrrgghhh. Luckily there is the Charity shield in 3wks.


Back to tiger, i think if he plays for the next decade then he will most certainly break Nicklaus all time major championship wins. All he has to do is win one a year for the next decade and voila. Easily said obviously. Still congrats Tiger and commiserations.
