We identify the role of the parent as the most important teacher in the life of any child. The TWF recognizes the importance to imparting wholesome values to youngsters, to the extent that kids really do learn by imitation. He tells of one child who wrote a letter to the organization, stating that she is biracial and Tiger is biracial, Tiger is cool, so she is cool. TWF is an organization that is attempting to make society a better place. Golf is the drawing point for the kids, but the family discussions, and the advice Tiger and his father Earl give are geared toward making better people, not just better golfers.
Some people say that sports are a metaphor for life.
What happens in sports is a reflection on society. In the case of Tiger Woods, let's hope so. What we want the child to do is to focus on worthwhile values that will guide him or her for the rest of its life. Earl and Tiger are committed to urban golf programs. TWF has adopted the traits that they say are part of Tiger himself.
