Imagine you’re lining up your put and right in the middle of you line is a big fat loogie. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!
The European Tour fined Tiger Woods for spitting on the 12th green in the Dubai Desert Classic. Read the article here. Hmmm. Is professional golf filled with some major tight asses or what. I’m just saying. But according to the tour’s code of conduct “voluntarily submits himself to standards of behavior and ethical conduct beyond those required of ordinary golfers and members of the public.” and conduct is subjective. Spitting is bad conduct.
I was raised in the Southern United Stated where spitting is an art form. Especially true when you have people who use chewing tobacco and snuff. According to some all oral tobacco is a nasty habit and I have to agree. This time of year in SoCal we have American Coots who hang around the water holes crap on the greens. All I can say is putting through coot crap is quite difficult. At least coots are wide animals. Tiger Woods had control over the timing of his expectoration and on the green after missing a putt with TV cameras everywhere is not the best choice of timing.
Zen Lession: Tiger Woods can win golf tournaments. It’s our actions when we’re not winning that reveals our nature. Billie Jean King said “I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.” As we each mature it’s our recovery from our past actions which reveals our inner workings.
