The Tiger Woods Story (1998 TV Movie)
He hits a ball with a stick
14 April 2002
I had to laugh at "Markles" who said this was directed by Senor Spielbergo from THAT Simpson's episode, because he's SO right.

It was so bad that it kept me transfixed to the small screen in disbelief.

I marvelled as a clearly embarrassed Keith David had to spout lines describing golf as some sort of quasi-mystical Zen-like art. Tiger is portrayed as some sort of crusading Black-Asian Superman fighting against ignorance and intolerance for the rights of all people of colour to play this pointless game.

And then I felt sick when oh so poor nice middle-class boy Tiger was given 100 million dollars in sponsorship money !

I mean, 100 MILLION dollars for hitting a ball with a stick !!!!!! An indictment of today's society if ever there was one, when ONE man can amass so much for doing so little. 100 million for the person who discovers the cure for Cancer, for the starving African children, for the doctors, the surgeons, the firemen and police officers - yes. But NOT for a guy who hits a ball with a stick !

Senor Spielbergo, we salute you !
