This
blog isn’t here for me to write about golf – but sometimes golf has a social
connection to it and at this moment it does and it isn’t pretty.

Sergio and Tiger
apparently don’t like each other. Tiger, to his credit, tries to keep it (the dislike)
at least in the civil range. Very recently, Sergio let it all slip into the
nasty area and it made me sad; for, after all, this is supposed to be a
gentleman’s game.
“The
British newspaper The Guardian reported Garcia was asked in jest if he would
invite Woods to dinner during the U.S. Open.
“The Guardian reported Garcia said: ‘We will
have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken.’”
Ooops!
Now, let’s give Sergio the benefit of the doubt… as a Spanish fellow – a Catalan – he might not know how touchy that remark is in America. Yet, he was quick to apologize when he realized he had spoken poorly…

"I
apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my comment on stage
during The European Tour Players' Awards dinner. I answered a question that was
clearly made towards me as a joke with a silly remark, but in no way was the
comment meant in a racist manner."
A lot of golfers
have had trouble liking everyone else on the golfing tour. There are just some
guys (or women) you are bound not to like, but the practice has been to keep it
quiet and out of the news. Sergio Garcia has broken that code wide open and has
let his dislike for Tiger Woods spill out into plain view. Too bad! Sergio is a
good guy, but he is easily distracted and the distractions hurt his golf game.
He has now got a big time distraction.
A way out?
Come on over here and win the U.S. Open that starts in just a few weeks, Sergio. And at the award ceremonies offer your apologies to Tiger and suggest that you both bury the hatchet and start all over in building a relationship. Your both too good to act like brats! Stop it!
