Was Tiger Woods wrong for using the word 'spaz' to descirbe his lack of putting ability?

"It's not what you say it's the way that you say it."\n\nHad Tiger Woods directed the term at a Spastic person (or any other disabled person) in a derogatory manner then it could have caused offense, but he didn't.\n\nThe US and UK use of the word is different.  In the UK it's a corruption of Spastic, the term given to people with Cerebral Palsy.  In the US it's a more generalized insult along the lines of idiot, moron or numb-skull.\n\nNo offense was meant when he made the comment and the only people to have taken issue with his comment appear to be the namby-pamby, woolly-minded, politically correct brigade whose primary concern seems to be to dictate to people how they live their lives.\n\nInterestingly, more non-disabled people are offended by the use of the word spaz than are disabled people.  In fact, when you look at the results of the BBC's survey into 'offensive' terms it's the politically correct terms such as 'special', 'brave' and 'wheelchair bound' that cause more offense to disabled people than calling them 'psycho', 'mong' or 'window-licker'.\n\nPerhaps these PC orientated people should butt out of everyone's lives and realize the reality of the situation which is that they're the ones causing the offense - something the BBC survey quite clearly shows to be the case.

I'm afraid your knowledge of boxing is poor!! Naz was a good world champion making 17 defences of a world title> thats a big ask for any world champion!! unfortunately he underachieved considering the amount of talent he had!! Only a fool would try and compare Ricky to Naz they are like chalk and cheese. Ricky is conquering the world while naz is doing 15 months in jail for dangerous driving!! There styles are totally opposites !! if want more information on Naz ask Kevin Kelly

I learned probably 80% of what I learned in golf from caddying for six years. You see a lot of different swings, good and bad. My suggestion might be just to watch a lot of golf; see what people do. See what's comfortable for you, then get out and practice, and find something that works. What Tiger does for a good swing might not be what you do for a good swing.

No, because golf is about hitting a ball in the fewest number of strokes to get it into a hole, not about walking the golf course.

That is kind of amusing. This undoubtedly came about because there were some folks who understood "par" as a numerical goal but didn't know enough about golf to realize that being "below par" is a good thing!

Golf is a game in search of perfection. However, there are very few sports in which perfection can be attained (i.e. 300 in bowling).\n\nAdditionally, golf courses have a number that is considered normal, or "par." The idea is to get the least amount of strokes under par... the lowest score wins. \n\nThink about this... there are a multitude of variables on a golf course as well as with any player at any given moment. For example, a golf course may be wet the next morning after an evening rain. You might have done really well on the dry course the day before, however, since the weather changed, the conditions are different and scores will be altered. \n\nAlso, strength and fatigue have a lot to do with a golfer's capability to score well. As with any sport, training is necessary. However, strength may be lost at one point in time because of something simple as a bad night's sleep or in Tiger Woods' case, a father who is ailing from cancer. \n\nAnyways, putting a golf ball in a 3 1/2" hole from 150-600 yards away in one shot is very difficult. There are limitations that humans have... if one person can hit the ball 450 yards, he's not going to be very accurate. However, another person may be able to hit the ball only 300 yards but may be able to get around the green like a veteran pro.\n\nHope this explanation helps!

Yes golf is a gentleman's sport but that does not mean it has to be so stiff.  I don't know the details of what Lucy did but I thing I have an idea of what she did.  \n\nGolf is changing it has to because we have to many golf courses and not enough players.  There is nothing wrong with having fun on the course.  Last week was women's golf week and next month the PGA is promoting a take your daughter to the golf course week.  The golf course is a great place for everyone in the family to have fun.  There is nothing wrong with having a little fun on the golf course.  The person on my Icon played in a golf tournament that day.  He shot 68 and had some fun.

I wouldn't pay to play with Tiger. For about $50. I go to see him live at PGA tournaments. When that is not an option, I watch him on TV.\n\nAny tips he would give me, if he and I were to play together, would probably just mess up 35 years of personal style development and my 18 handicap could soar further out in space.\n\n:)

I think most people realize that a person's skill at a computer game has little, if any correlation to their skill at the real thing.  There is absolutely no accounting for the unique quirks that each player brings to the game.  If anyone actually claims that they are good at pool and by "pool" they mean, "Yahoo Pool", I think everyone could probably reach a similar conclusion about that statement.

LOL...This is so random...\nBut I would bet that Tiger would make a better Speaker of the house....

I too am not a fan of the big serve, but with Sampras you get probably the all-time most effective first and second serves, outstanding volleys, and a strong forehand. He also competes in the classy manner of the Australian pros--no trash talk, just competing to their utmost.\nSo, I'm glad he is playing in WTT. This is an opportunity for the newer generation to meet the older. Given the format of WTT, conditioning is less a factor, and oldsters can often do surprisingly well.

Tiger's former caddie was Mike (Fluff) Cowen.  He used to Caddy for Peter Jacobson, and now Caddies for Jim Furyk.

NO, I DON'T, I THINK THAT HIS PASSING WILL GIVE TIGER(AFTER TIME FOR GRIEVING) A NEW FOUND FAITH IN HIMSELF AND HIS GAME.
