There are plenty of girls out there that drop the F bomb tons throughout a single round of golf. You never hear about it, because there are no mics out there to catch it. I remember years ago Curtis Strange got fined because a mic caught him cussing. If Curtis had a mic on him all the time like Tiger does, he would have been paying more out in fines than he would having been making in prize money.
If the worst thing that parents have to worry about is their kids hearing Tiger say: "Tiger, you suck" or "God D*mmit", well they must live in a bubble. Don't like the way Tiger acts on the course? YOU take up golf, play with your child and YOU show them how you think they should act while playing.

I'm dropping this after I say this. For numerous reasons.

Curtis Strange compared to Tiger Woods is like Apples and Oranges.

NFL? Come on man, its so different. Contact, emotions etc etc.. Physical.

LPGA players compared to Tiger Woods is like comparing well I'm at a loss of words.

I hope that parents take your advice and take their kids out and play rounds with their kids and show them how they should act while playing cause I know as well as many other folks who love and respect this game that when the camera and mic are on and your on stage its your chance.

Sad day in Golf when his actions on the course are treated this way. I was raised different. Guess I'm on the outside looking in.

Probably coming from the same generation who will leave ball marks on the greens, not seed their divots, talk on their cell phones on course, throw their putter when they miss etc etc etc..

Call me old school all you want but that is total BS and laughs in the face of what this sport is all about.

Of all people you should know that man.
