Even Bobby Clarke. It's just too bad that Clarke has taken too many pucks in the head to notice. Augusta National is, in many ways, the symbol of golf, like Wimbledon to tennis, or the Indy 500 to auto racing. That is why I root for Tiger Woods on this one course. Woods is the best golfer in the world right now and just finished a six tournament-winning streak.
All eyes are on Woods.
Because of the racial issues that The Masters represents. For the longest time, The Masters was the last bastion of white, male golfers. Lee Elder broke the color barrier twenty-five years ago, and was treated like dirt. I think that many members of the club are still uncomfortable with the fact that Woods was the first man of color to win the tournament and therefore, the first with one of the green jackets. So, it is for that reason that I will silently root for Tiger Woods this week, hoping that he hammers another blow against bigoted country clubs around the nation that discriminate against minorities, people of different religions, and women.
