The Masters - pt. 2

I had one more thought about Tiger Woods and my cheering for him during the Masters recently.

This thought was, how do we as parents help kids choose role models?

If I had a kid that wanted to play golf, I would show him videos of Tiger Woods.  The greatest shots, the best putts, and the focus/determination he had on each shot.  I would encourage my child to learn about Tiger and how he got so good.  I would let him/her look up to Tiger! That would stop at golf.

The Masters - pt. 1

Whether it's good or bad, I cheered for Tiger Woods this weekend.

The first time in a long time.  Doing so brought many thoughts to my mind about living in a fallen world and where my place is in it.

Once I really liked watching Tiger Woods golf.  Every shot you were hoping for one of the most amazing things you had ever seen, whether a 350+ yard drive, an iron shot that stopped inches from the pin, or a putt that circulated around an entire green to fall in.  These shots are the reason that I loved watching Tiger.
