Too many other variables, such as people who are undoubtedly praying AGAINST him due to an affront to their morals, and his own internal struggle in the midst of the secular pressure caused by his personal situation, and for that matter, the non-religious but highly hyper-focus on him from a non-religious perspective. I.e. "haters".<br /><br />I rather like Chandra's idea. Take someone with a pretty solid track record from some sport (preferably not someone ultra famous to rule out competing influence), throw a double-handful or so of dedication at him/her for a period of time, then simply let it go. It'd give a good subject for before-during-and-after comparisons of performance of that player and those around them without so much noise and speculation.Gianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297467017188799518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-34823149031041669552010-04-16T20:57:46.184-05:002010-04-16T20:57:46.184-05:00Y'know, what you need is a banding together of...Y'know, what you need is a banding together of say 10 - 12 dedicated bastards like us, to take on a team or player whose performance has been uniformly mediocre, and then we set a period to get involved and see if it improves.<br /><br />THEN we set a date to step back - no harm no foul, just pull out, walk away - and see if it falls by the wayside back to where they were.<br /><br />Just a thought - leave it to you all to comment or whatever, but all this is theory - maybe TW got sucked in to act out the sexy desires of his unschooled "church" who saw him as their macho-symbol "scorer" by proxy - that would be some epic lulz!<br /><br />(As an aside, but serious: I deplore the pain caused to his wife, and find the media's gloating on this gruesome and ugly.)ChandraNovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628240907136754748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-35469130875810003702010-04-13T16:28:55.325-05:002010-04-13T16:28:55.325-05:00I would have to check, but I believe the original ...I would have to check, but I believe the original website stated that the Church was founded around the time of Woods' debut as a professional golfer back in 1997. Even at the beginning of his career the media hype about Woods was unbelievable.<br /><br />As a result, if that's true we really don't have much data about Woods' professional career prior to the establishment of the Church. That's really too bad, because it would be a much more impressive data set if we had a set from before, a set during, and a set after and could compare the three.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-14204246973496970852010-04-13T15:55:06.893-05:002010-04-13T15:55:06.893-05:00Good article, Scott.

After the founding of the Church of Tiger Woods<br /><br />We'll have to keep tabs on this...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MicheleImagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819129631937901859noreply@blogger.com
