I stink at golf. I don't play often enough to get better and I wasn't good to begin with. But regardless of whether you are a good golf player or not, you can appreciate greatness. We were in the presence of greatness this weekend and yesterday watching Tiger Woods storm to his latest US Open victory.
Of course Tiger has won these before, but this one may have been his greatest yet. Coming off of knee surgery, limping up and down the course, Tiger made so many amazing shots that you almost expect him to make the impossible. Coming back on the 18th hole on Sunday to tie it, then a nail biter 18 hole playoff today, only to win it in an extra death 19th hole Tiger Woods has once again confirmed that he may be the best money player of his generation, if not of all time.
But Rocco Mediate played for all of us over 40-somethings, that you can still play with the big boys and give them a run for their money. Good for Rocco too! It is about time someone gave Tiger a run.
At the end of the day though we should all realize how special it is that we get to watch Tiger week in and out. Much like watching Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle, we may not truly appreciate how luck we are being able to watch Tiger, until we can't watch him anymore. So like the commercial says, "Go on, be a Tiger"!
