Another Tiger story. Being a golf nut I frequent a golf BBS (no OT though, lol). A guy there who lives in Florida said he was waiting in line at McDonalds about 2-3 weeks ago and in walks Tiger and gets in line right behind him. Guy turns around and says:

"Aren't you Tiger Woods?"

Tiger: "Yeah."

Guy: "You're at McDonald's??"

Tiger: "I eat too you know."

Tiger apparently ordered a Big Mac meal with Diet Coke, supersized of course.

Another amazing Tiger moment: Bill Bradley did an interview with him for 60 minutes a couple years ago. They did most of the interview on the range while Tiger hit balls. Bradley brought up the famous bouncing the ball on a wedge then hitting it in mid-air shot that he did for a Nike commercial. Bradley asked Tiger how many takes that took, Tiger says "One." So Tiger then starts telling this story about how he learned to do that, says he was just out on the range messing around as a teenager and decided to see if he could bounce a ball off a wedge, sure enough it worked. Then he decided to see how many times he could bounce it in a row, then under his leg, over his leg, around the back, whatever. The amazing thing is Tiger is bouncing this ball all over the place during this entire time. Behind his back, turn around 360 and catch it, under the leg, the whole time talking to Bradley like it is nothing. Then he says that he decided to see if he could hit the ball in midair after bouncing it, he bounces it up a little higher in the air, regrips the club as it is coming down and hits it right down the range. Bradley was just amazed...one take.

The guy is the best golfer of our time, perhaps the best of all time...enjoy it while you can.
