Tiger is the only child of his parents marriage and in essence the ONLY child, although he had older step siblings. He was the center of his fathers' intense attention, direction, even badgering and was the "victim" of the "coach's kid syndrome". He is obviously a perfectionist. Anyone can see that he would NOT be a good poker player, his face betrays him. He is quick to look frustrated when he fails, misses a putt, etc. AND he doesn't fail very often. He is obviously a private person. He shields his family from the spotlight more than other great golfers have done.

The enormous embarrassment of this situation could very well lead him to awful unrelenting depression and worse.

Sweetie and I were saying that the mistakes we have made in our life did not have to be witnessed by the world.

He is not a "whatever" personality. I hope he makes it through this.


AND do I have guts or what to follow a psychiatrists' post with MY personal views on Tigers mental state.??
