Postscript - The Open

Congratulations Tiger. You certainly showed some real grit and determination. Your work ethic and your skill are exceptional and great attributes for others to mimic. I hope you have not paid too high of a price for yet one more major title. Only time will tell.

Perhaps during your forced layoff, you could work on curbing your anger and learn to accept disappointment as a gracious champion and not as a pugnacious 3 year old. Watch the highlights of the 2008 Open...not your highlights, we know the outcome...watch Rocco and the pure joy of playing this great game, as I'm sure this aspect of his professionalism escaped you. It's never too late to learn to appreciate what an honor it is to play golf and to embrace all of the lessons that the game can offer to each every one of us.

Thank you Rocco for the great golf. You have earned many new fans and we are all behind you to keep the magic going. For 5 days you showed the world that anything is possible. For one hole you showed us you were human and what it is like to hold your head high even with the agony of defeat staring you in the face. You are a champion in many ways.

Phil...it was not your time as I had predicted / wished for. You are an amazing talent yet you continue to find ways to sabotage success. Sometimes you under think and this time I believe you were over thinking. You must be a Gemini as we never know who is going to show up from week to week. Keep learning from every experience and please leave the evil twin at home next time!

A side note... Congratulations to the Boston Celtics on their THUMPING of the LA Lakers. That was fun...Now I can finally get some sleep! Thanks for a great season and for returning the luster to that green shamrock that has been tarnished for more than 20 years.

Time to get back out there on the lesson tee...it is the greatest office in the world.

Keep Swinging!

Jane
