Tiger Woods turns blind eye to human rights abuses in Dubai, says reader

Reader John Smith: "Tiger talks about charities etc etc; but his great great grandfather Doss Douglas must be turning in his grave knowing that his descendent is on the side of the slave matters; who are building a golfing community around his golf course selling villas for $10 million-plus whilst paying the laborers less than $3 per day, and then paying them at least six months late."

Annika Sorenstam no stranger to the Tavistock Cup, reader says

"Wolfrum must have a limited knowledge of golf to write that Annika Sorenstam and Paula Creamer were invited to play in the Tavistock Cup because it is the politically correct thing to do," writes WorldGolf.com reader J.V.P. Kennedy.

Local says Ashwood Golf Course in Apple Valley, California is no pushover

Bob Catherwood: In regards to the course review "Ashwood Golf Course a pleasant round of golf in Apple Valley, Calif." Being a long hitter does not guarantee success at Ashwood. We use it as a home course for high school matches and consistently watch top junior golfers shaking their heads wondering why they can't seem to eat it up.

West Virginia's Oakhurst Links a blast from golf's past

Founded in 1884, Oakhurst Links was the first golf course in the United States, and there is not other course like it in North America. Modern golfers play the course just as golfers did in 1884, with hickory-shafted clubs and "guttie" balls.

A tradition like too many others? Readers debate a lackluster Masters finish

Trevor Immelman's three-shot victory at the 2008 Masters sparked a debate as to whether the grand tournament is as exciting of a major as it was intended when Bobby Jones and Alister Mackenzie built the renowned course in 1933 to provide a tournament rich with drama. Brandon Tucker wrote that the magic appears to have been lost at Augusta National over the last two Masters. Here's what WorldGolf.com readers had to say ...

Reader: Amen, Tiger IS a jerk

Doug Paterson: "Personally, I find Tiger's fist pumping and tantrum-like behavior to be of low class. He should show more respect toward both the 'gentlemen's' sport as well as to the iconic position he finds himself."

Many PGA Tour golfers lack Tiger Woods' drive to be No. 1, reader Chad Dodds says

I was interested in your comments about the golf commentators and Johnny Miller on the lack of competition for Tiger Woods. I have been giving this a lot of thought lately and have read a number of books about golf years ago in Bobby Jones' day and when Palmer and Nicklaus were head to head. I do very definitely agree that the competition is not nearly as difficult as it was then. You do not find any 10 players constantly at the top of the leader board like you used to. You cannot name the top players in the world at present, like we used to be able to.

An open letter to Rory Sabbatini: Chilling out could be helpful

"A very famous baseball player was once trashed by the press early on in his career over something he said. He issued a statement saying he was forever done with talking to the press. He kept his word to the end and became one of the most respected guys in the sport, by the fans and by his peers. He made the Baseball Hall of Fame." Maybe Rory Sabbatini can do the same?

Reader on Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie: "These babes are a good thing for golf"

"I have been a fan for 50 years and now I prefer the LPGA and the Champions Tours over the PGA Tour [that's] dominated by that over-hyped egomaniac. Womens sports have improved where mens have backslid some with the criminal element present in the NFL, NBA and big-time college sports. Womens golf and tennis are pristine in comparison and the tennis is loaded with babes too."

Tiger Woods' mental game means he could win with any era's golf equipment

Andy Brown writes that it is Tiger Woods' "grit, determination and skill that has allowed him to earn the tag of the greatest golfer ever. Modern equipment is hardly an excuse. Of course I would not be surprised if Tiger was handed an old set and asked to compete with the field and he would probably still end up with his arms around the title."
