Opis

In a year in which famous men like John Edwards, Mark Sanford, David Letterman and many other wealthy, famous and powerful men admitted cheating on their wives, it still came as a shock when the numerous affairs of Tiger Woods suddenly came to light. Surely, not Tiger, was the visceral reaction. Not this fine, upstanding symbol of clean-cut sportsmanship and athletic prowess. It was hard to grasp. It was hard to imagine. Woods not only made his name in golf, he made golf a popular and exciting game. Of course, golf itself is a game of contradictions. Although it started at a rich man's sport, there is little question that it is now a game with millions of poor players. And most of them are fans of Tiger Woods. If not lovers. Citizen Poet examines both the man and the game, investigating the similarities and relationship between golf and sex. And, of course, Citizen Poet has taken its usual liberties with poetic license. Why do men cheat? Why do Tigers become Chetahs? Why is the 1 iron called "God's club?" What is Tiger Woods' secret to winning? And WTF does an elephant's ass have to do with golf? You'll find the answers to all of these questions and even more in "Ten Ways to Play the Lie."
