Reply #18: you should read thispiece

I'm a big golf fan and I am just dying to know who your brother is but I won't ask. You've given enough hints that I'll figure it out eventually. I won't tell I promise. ;)

Anyway, what you wrote reminded me of a lovely piece I read yesterday about Earl. I have been following Tiger's career since he turned pro, that's what made me watch golf in fact at first. I've been to two majors and I loved the experience. Just walking around within feet of these amazing athletes is so cool. I've always been impressed with Tiger the person as well as the athlete. You can tell more about a person on a bad day than a good day and on Tiger's bad days he has always handled himself with grace, class and dignity. He never shies from bragging about a good shot but he also never hides from the bad moments and is the most critical of himself. I also can't recall a time when he was rude to any other golfer even when they were to him. He could have crumbled from the crush of his success at such a young age without the guidance of his dad. I don't think it's possible to even separate Tiger's ethics and standards from how he was raised. Golf is better, the world is better for Tiger and it's all because of Earl. Watching Tiger has given me a lot of pleasure and it saddens me to know that he is grieving now. I'm sure we'll all witness him dealing with this with the same grace and class he has shown with everything else. I'll miss those after victory hugs though.
