/Thanks to reader Tom for Tim Dahlberg's downright bubbly take on the state of the Tiger Woods Foundation and in particular, the Anaheim learning center where life goes on and the kids seem unfazed.
The head of the Anaheim City School District says he's grateful for the center, saying the 20,000 or so kids it has touched in its short existence far outweighs anything Woods may have done in his personal life.
"Having a resource like the Tiger Woods Learning Center is just incredible," superintendent Jose Banda said. "It comes down to money, especially with budgets the way they are. The stuff they have is state of the art and expensive stuff."
On a recent morning, the driving range out the back door was empty. During breaks, the fifth-graders are likelier to be kicking a soccer ball than hitting golf balls.

/Get past Matthew Futterman and Douglas Blackmon's slightly misleading lede, because it's a fascinating WSJ look back at Tiger and the PGA Tour's relationship. There were several "oh-wow-I-forgot-about-that" anecdotes. My only beef is with the opening assertion that this week at Torrey Pines is a glimpse into the post-Tiger-accident PGA Tour (weren't things a mess there before the accident?):
