The Tiger Lithograph Your Wife Won't Be Buying For The Game Room
Thanks to reader Robert for alerting me to this fine art sale and in particular, the fine, fine piece at the end titled "Tiger making the hole." I'm not sure why (A) an artist would take the time to make such an, ugh, impression, or (B) who would want to buy this except Larry Flynt's interior decorator.
But…might look nice over the Jupiter fireplace! Or in it? Or maybe artist Tos Kostermans was hoping the World Golf Hall of Fame would pick this up for a future retrospective?

she should have a Perkins outfit on
But it won't have the longevity of dogs playing pool.
Until we got vulgarity lessons from a master.

The karma gorilla just gained another 100 lbs.
However, I am going to go out on a limb here and proclaim that I really believe Tiger turned a corner...if you look at
any of my previous posts, I have been hyper critical of his whole shtick since his presser in front of the blue curtains..
But, did anyone watch the totality of his interview with the press right after his horrible second round? Gone was the arrogant facade, replaced with a human vulnerability rarely seen from Woods...his stunted answers gave way to lengthy honest, almost painful acknowledgment of his obvious diminished skills on the course.....
Maybe now, unfettered from his own denial and external expectations, Tiger can find some inner peace and rebound from the abyss....
The "Dogs Playing Pool" series is indeed a masterpiece, as is the companion series, "Dogs Playing Poker". My favourite being 'A Friend In Need". Always thought both series would look great in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
Unlike A3, I don't have a degree in Fine Art, but I think that fact is patently obvious by now. :-) :-)
I am going out on a limb myself to proclaim that Tiger has not turned the corner.
Go back to the WGC Bridgestone last year. 18 over par and 2nd to last in the field.
There was no arrogance in that post tourney presser either and 100's of journalists speculated that he had hit rock bottom, suggesting that it could very well constitute a turning point.
Nope.
I'm not sure why

errrrr
(C) why Geoff would even bother with this? tsk, tsk Geoffrey
Like all great works of art, words cannot do it justice. My one fervent hope is that somebody sues somebody else as a result of that painting. Because that is the one way I can think of, to make this particular story last. I'd like a nice, 2-3 year federal lawsuit, with depositions, and a jury trial if possible. Lots of interviews on courthouse steps, video depositions, art experts, marketing experts, damages experts. You name it. I don't even know what the cause of action might be. And it doesn't matter at all, who sues whom. Just please let it happen. Oh, please.
Tiger is holding a left-handed putter. lulz.
