"The caricature of Tiger Woods eating Rocco Mediate as a snack is unfair and an inaccurate characterization of the facts."

I'm always reluctant to check into Bob Carney's Editor's Blog for fear of reading something that gives me little faith in the people reading golf magazines. Today was one of those items.

Reader Alan Archer writes to complain about the Tiger-Rocco drawing from the recent Golf World newsmaker's issue.

Archer opens his letter with this line:

"The caricature of Tiger Woods eating Rocco Mediate as a snack is unfair and an inaccurate characterization of the facts."

Now, last I heard, a caricature is an unfair, inaccurate and totally not-factual representation. That's why they are fun.

Carney handled the response much more diplomatically than I would have.

Thanks for that post Geoff...very funny! People need to get over the P.C. crap that seems to seep into almost everything these days. Cheers.

However, had the letter opened with:

"The caricature of Tiger Woods eating Rocco Mediate as a snack is unfair and an inaccurate characterization of snacks."

Well, then, ole' Alan may have had something ...

It is probably also supposed to be amusing or entertaining, and is neither.

its also wrong. Rocco took all Tiger had and forced him to make two clutch putts, one to make it to Monday, one to go extra holes

It would have been funnier had it shown Woods relaxing in his pool while Rocco cleaned out the leaves with his net.
