PHIL MICKELSON

[Marilyn]

Won the Masters and I have to say I am glad. He's a man who took a year off the support his wife and mother as they both battled breast cancer (I'm a survivor 11 years out myself). His comeback means more to me than the other guy, and you know who I mean.

Seems he was doing well first 3 days, then lost concentration.

A comedian said the other night, that men have already forgiven Tiger, but women probably never will.....guess he's right.

Phil also played outstanding golf And this was his third win at Augusta.
Didn't need that potshot at Tiger Tiger has won Augusta 4 times and, despite his snafus on the course, he came in fourth in this event.

I'm sorry...Peasie, but I am the first to admit that due to my background AND my personal experience I have a serious problem with cheaters.....

There have been many who have tried to separate &quot;cheating Tiger&quot; from &quot;Golf Pro Tiger&quot;, I think that character tends to drive one's efforts, also the events going on in one's life cannot be isolated from what you are DOIING in your life. &quot;
In the end, it would be for ELIN to forgive him or not, and in the end , though he does not know me at all, it will be MY decision whether or not I do.

Recently there was a little video I saw somewhere that they showed all of the famous people over the past few years who have gotten on the national scene to make public “apologies” for this and that. They showed the person’s press conference, while in the background the country western song “I’m Sorry” was playing. Hilarious.

Have I ever done wrong? Oh yes, had to ask for forgiveness, Oh yes……but here is the thing. I don’t think Tiger will really change his stripes, nor do I still think he is telling the whole truth. More women are STILL coming out of the woodworks including a very young and impressionable neighbor he cultivated for years. They said she was “different” because she wasn’t a BIMBO like the others, but a normal girl from his affluent neighborhood.

Whatever the case, I am the first to admit that I go for the jugular vein of cheaters as I watched my mother’s heart(now deceased) broken time and again, and then mine. Dah Jah has a theory that men were not made for monogamy. Maybe he is correct.

So no one is probably going to like me saying this, but I am glad that a man of character won, and NOT Tiger. He probably will “come back” after he gets it together. He will get the chance to show the world that he still “had it” in spite of what has happened . His “fans” will probably get their chance to say “I told you so.” BUT NOT TODAY, and NOT this Masters, and NOT his first time out, his much anticipated “comeback.” So GOOD!

I don't know girl, just if you give me a choice between a man who took off time from golf to support his wife and mother battling a disease, and a cheating man who had to take off because he was &quot;caught&quot; and exposed (and don't get it twisted, if Tiger had not been caught, he's have one of those hoes with him tucked away at this Master's tournament as well just like old times), I gotta go with the former and not the latter.

Re: PHIL MICKELSON

I still say Tiger is not sorry for what he did, just sorry he got caught.

On the flip side, let those of us without sin cast the first stone.

From his post tournament interview it sounds like Tiger is going back into his self imposed exile from the game for a while longer yet. Perhaps he is not yet ready to play in front of crowds that will not be as kind to him as those in Agusta.

And as Istated, my other info came from a comedian, and maybe the polls are correct, but it's not THIS WOMAN

No one is without sin that I know of except a few on this board , but there is a difference between a sin, and extreme hedonisitic self indulgence at the expense of all around you.

In other words....ok you sinned you &quot;apologized&quot; let's move on and get your life back and shove you right back down the public's throats. We'll show them, we can REMAKE you without their approval, they will fall in line.

So Rich
I am using your timeline....a few weeks off to encourage your wife and mother as they battle breast cancer, verses the SAME few weeks in rehab for sex addiction because YOU self-indulged to the EXCESS and hurt everyone around you by bonking a bunch of &quot;hostesses&quot; &quot;waitresses&quot; etc.....duhh you do the math.

Re: PHIL MICKELSON

As my daughter said, &quot;Tiger is a Pig who only deserves to wallow in his muddy sty and get the heck off of the clean grass.&quot;

LOL!

Re: PHIL MICKELSON

I don't wish for Tiger to fall down a well or any deep misfortune or anything.

He's not the first man to heat, nor while he be the last.

But dude needs to go FOCUS ON HIS MARRIAGE - WORK ON HIS MARRIAGE - FOCUS ON HIS FAMILY.

What's the<span style="font-weight: bold"> need</span> to be out playing the Masters?

Same mess this fool up here is trying to pull. Spitzer, former NY Governor and prostitute philanderer.

Wants to run for office again.

He's all,<span style="font-style: italic"> &quot;alright, alright, alright, let me back in already&quot;</span> attitude.

Are there to be no consequences to these people's actions?

<span style="font-size: 8pt">Aside from losing a sponser!!!!</span>

Gimme a break.

What a phony and a liar.

If you have a sincere understanding of the damage you've caused to your children, your wife - what are you doing out on the golf course?
