The Chairman of the Augusta National Men's Golf Club made a big splash in the news yesterday by chastising Brother Tiger. The male-dominated media called it a "stern" and "harsh rebuke." Poor Tiger. Why can't he lie and deceive women in private?
Speaking of the great importance of role models and responsibilities, Chairman Payne said that Tiger "disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our kids and our grandkids."
