There were reports today that Elin Woods was seen boarding a plane with their two children to leave Florida, a report that indicates the couple is having some difficulty working things out and reinforcing the rumors that a divorice is imminent. The publicity mill is churning out speculation that Woods’ priority of focussing on golf is blocking their marriage from healing.
And that may the real explanation. Consider this:
For genius to prosper,
The family must suffer.
That may be an epigram too easy, although I know that from my own situation that my focus on writing is often to the detriment to my attention to my wife and the demands of familial responsibility. There is no question that family responsibility interferes with the creative muse.
However, whatever the publicity surrounding Tiger Woods, I am grateful for the simple reason that when he’s in the news, my book sales go up. http://citizenpoet.com/TigerWoods.aspx
The purely pecuniary interest aside, I feel rather good that I was able to analyse the reasons why someone in Tiger Woods position would cheat on his wife and to distill those reasons into ten very clear explanations. Everything that has happened since and reported on various new outlets has verified and reinforced my original statements.
And then there’s the humor–the descriptions of the clubs, the explanations of golfing terms, the quotes from famous golfers, and the world-famous (or infamous) Tiger Woods dictionary. It all adds up to a very insightful, satirical and extremely funny book.
If you haven’t read it yet, get it. Read it. And pass it own. http://citizenpoet.com/TigerWoods.aspx
