When Tiger Woods won golf tournaments, everybody praised his name to high heavens. This lasted for many, many years especially because the public has followed his career, when he was still a boy, then teenager, then young adult, and now a married person with a wife and two children. Tiger Woods is synonymous to golf and golf refers to Tiger Woods.
As stories go however,Tiger had his own secrets. The way it was found out was not very usual in that it was a minor accident with major repercussions. The focus of the accident was not the physical safety of Tiger but the surrounding details that led to the accident. Anyways, versions came out which were all about the women who claimed to have sexual relations with Tiger.
Teacher's teacher is quick to admit that temptations abound when a person has the looks, the money and the prestige. If drivers are found to have two or three mistresses, how much more the successful athletes like Tiger Woods. This is not to say that we condone Tiger's infidelities but who can "cast the first stone" because he/she has no "skeleton in his/her closet"?
So while Tiger Woods is not yet "out of the woods", Tiger can go on with his plan to go on indefinite leave from professional golf to save his family: "become a better husband, a father and a person."
Let us allow Tiger to suffer in silence with his loved ones and gradually become whole again. Take your time Tiger for when you decide to come back to play golf, expect Teacher's teacher to stay glued - watch you play golf and who can tell: win
again and if you don't we are there just to cheer for you.
Excerpts from Ecclesiastes 3 of the Holy Scripture might be appropriate at this juncture: "There is an appointed time for everything and a time for every affair under the heavens. . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away . . . a time to be silent, and a time to speak . . .
