Congressional Weekend

Yesterday Tiger answered some questions, sent by readers to WAPO, a crumb before Tiger’s tourney at Congressional Country Club – AT&T National.
The U.S. Open is scheduled for Congressional in a couple of years but Tiger and AT&T have a potential 4 year extension in the works too.

A piece in U.S.A. Today, Tiger draws scrutiny from social activism proponents, call Tiger

an easy target for people who think he owes a debt to society that should be paid in more social activism.

Among those is NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown, who told HBO’s Real Sports that Woods’ social record is “terrible,” adding, Woods “gets away with teaching kids to play golf, and that’s his contribution.”

There’s a poll there you can take to see how you feel about athletes giving back.

l think everyone has to do what they have to do and what Tiger is doing is a concentrated effort with follow through.
These programs tend to be more beneficial than many more publicized charities.

I’ll be at Congressional Saturday and Sunday. Hope the weather holds out.

It’s Wednesday

Cooper alluded to it in her last post, but I’m finding it a little weird.

From Politico:

In a new twist to an already bizarre episode, South Carolina’s lieutenant governor said Monday night that neither he nor Gov. Mark Sanford’s staff know where the governor is and that Sanford’s office refused his demand to talk to his fellow Republican.

In other news Duval found his game last week -good too see. Once the best player in the world he disappeared off anyone’s radar after his BO win in 2001. Ranked 882 in the world, a ranking that junped to 142 after his almost win last weekend, he was all but forgotten. Until this past weekend. I hope to see him make a few more runs and hope one or two of them are successful.

We’re heading to the eastern shore to look at property this weekend. Found two places in the mountains but both need more work than I want to think about. We are going to look around the bay, Solomon’s Island, and Saint Michael ’s. We’ve narrowed down what we’re looking at to 10 or so properties,

Raining in the Parade

The US Open, rained, or should I say flooded out. Soggy greens part of the reason the tournament was suspended three hours in.
