He’s back, in the swing, and could make new records
Who am I talking about? A musician, perhaps? No, I mean this god of the fairways, Tiger Woods, who won the Masters on Sunday and regained the top spot in the league of guys who hit little white balls around nice parts of the world. Tiger Woods was simply outstanding at Augusta yesterday, although he gave his fans the jitters on the 17 and 18th holes. The guy drives the ball with such power, it is almost inhuman.
Funny sport, golf. On the face of it, it has this image of being a middle-class, slightly fuddy duddy sport (not everyone thinks that is a bad thing, mind). But quite a lot of rockers like it. Alice Cooper is pretty nifty on the course, so Andrew tells me. And several GoD band members have expressed interest in playing a round or two sometime soon.
Tiger Woods is also that sad rarity in modern sport: a brilliant player who is also a gent and a fine role model for young people. Well done, Tigger!
