Tip for Tiger Woods: Look at the whole package or your golf course design will get the shaft

While I admit I was hard on Tiger Woods for his decision to build a golf course in a country where they abduct kids and make them camel-riding slaves, I really do only wish him the best.

I’m certain that Tiger was able to take it like a man, however. His mental make-up is stiff to say the least. Plus, I have nothing but respect for the size of his talent, and truly believe that in 2007, he’s going to come back yet again and take it to the golf world, harder and harder. He’ll definitely spend time thrusting more trophies onto his mantle.

Long and strong, Tiger Woods needs advice from no man on how to use the tool that is his considerable talent. There is nothing turgid about the man’s style. Still, I thought I’d submit the photo below for Tiger’s perusal.

Consider it a cautionary tale - before the job is completed, make sure to take a good look at the whole package, lest your golf course design get the shaft.

The designer of the Rogue Valley Country Club in Medford, Oregon truly left his mark on the landscape.

Tiger's legacy is so much more than golf.

Tiger Woods is on a mission to save youngsters.

Please see the shiny modern building at
1 Tiger Woods Way, Anaheim, California.

This photo is nothing. Come play Delaware Park in Buffalo. 16 holes of the course lie in a meadow, surrounded by a bike/jogger/blader path. If you don't know the lay of the land, you'll have a brisk, 16-hole round. Numbers 10 and 18 are across the pavement, between Parkside Avenue and the path, with bball courts thrown in for a backdrop. How do the other 17 holes at Rogue Valley compare with this beauty?

I was right there with you up to "in Buffalo." How about I just take your word for it.

Ah, yes...another ostrich with his head up his arse tossing uninformed, disparaging remarks at the great north. Sometimes enlightenment involves taking a risk, lad.

Why would a man write a supposed golf story about another man with all this subliminal sexual imagery?

Thrusting trophies.
Take a good look at the whole package.
Take it to the golf world, harder and harder.

It's silly...not cute at all

WHAT IS YOUR POINT????????
Take it like a man, and all the smut you refer to.
As to why Mr. Woods chose to design his first golf course in Dubai that would be his business and please DO NOT insinuate that he in anyway would support anything that would do harm to children they (ALL) children are very dear to his heart.
Also I think he is VERY capable of dealing with designing a golf course without your input.
