<p>So, let’s see…the latest bits of news that keep us distracted: the non-celebrity couple that got past security and into the White House, Governor Sanford and his females, and now Tiger’s trysts. oh goody. I was already getting tired with the celebrity wannabees.</p>
<p>Maybe he has been seeing another woman because his wife has an explosive temper. Assuming that the scenario proposed in the original post is accurate, the wife sounds like she has some major anger management problems. I don’t think it’s normal or OK to decide to beat one’s spouse with a golf club after learning s/he has had an affair. In fact, one can go to jail for doing something like that.</p>
<p>There has been some research indicating that men can be battered by female partners who are smaller than they are, and the men can feel caught – figuratively between a rock and a hard place. They don’t want to hit back and then assault a woman. They feel ashamed at being physically victimized by a woman. They also may feel that they caused the assault.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out…</p>
<p>This is all very strange… clearly something doesn’t add up with the initial version of the story pushed out. Will be interesting to see what happens.</p>
<p>Of course it is not OK to beat a cheating spouse with a golf club - that’s what rolling pins are designed for! JK! :)</p>

<br>
<p>Don’t forget the Balloon Boy incident. I have a nagging suspicion that somehow, all these stories are connected. It all started with Governor Sanford. Suppose he really was out wandering the Appalachian Trail when aliens simultaneously abducted him, Balloon Boy, the non-celebrity couple, and Mrs. Tiger Woods. If you were an alien, wouldn’t that be exactly the high-interest sample of humanity you’d want to collect, study, and send back to earth for sustained observation? </p>
<p>Something to think about.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The car wasn’t in reverse. If you look at the photos that have been everywhere online, the fire hydrant and tree that he hit were around the corner from his driveway, and the damage to the SUV was to the front end.</p>
<p>Having said that, I think it’s likely that she probably hit the car with the club as he left the house after an argument. He was probably looking in the rearview mirror as he screeched out of the driveway and around the corner, and lost control. If she’d been inside the house and heard the accident then rushed outside (as she said happened), why would she just happen to have a golf club with her? Unlikely.</p>
<p>The whole story is pretty disappointing, if true. I think he’s making a mistake keeping quiet about it. Make a statement, tell the truth, and let the story end in a few days. Allowing everyone the opportunity for every possible type of speculation makes the situation, from a PR view, even worse.</p>

<p>It’s hard to believe that that house is valued at that. Maybe the market in Florida is even worse than it sounds. It’s a beautiful house. I haven’t been inside but we have friends who live in that community and we’ve been to the one next to Tiger’s. This is just one of the homes he owns and they’re living here when they’re in Florida while their new place is being built on Jupiter Island.</p>
<p>Tigers’ not talking, but these folks are willing to talk for a price about their White House experience. As if anyone beside the Secret Service cares! And these narcissists will have to talk to the Secret Service for free!</p>
<p>"NEW YORK - The couple who crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner are peddling their story to broadcast networks for hundreds of thousands of dollars, a television executive says.</p>
<p>The executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the network does not publicly discuss bookings, told The Associated Press that representatives for Michaele and Tareq Salahi contacted networks to urge them to “get their bids in” for an interview. The executive said the Virginia couple was looking for a payment in the mid-six figures range.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, CNN confirmed that the Salahis had canceled an appearance they had scheduled for “Larry King Live” on Monday.</p>
<p>Network news divisions say they don’t pay for interviews. But for eagerly sought interviews in the past, they have offered to pay for access to exclusive material, such as pictures or videos from their subjects."

<p>My speculation (and it is a 100 percent guess) is in response to the question of how could the worlds’s most coordinated person not be able to drive out of his own driveway. I speculate that the wife hit him in the face with the golf club before he left the house. He was trying to escape and got into his vehicle. While under the influence of club-to-face, he was unable to drive properly. The wife chased him out of the house with the club. After he wrecked, she used the club to break open the window. At some point she decided not to keep beating him but to help him.</p>
<p>I feel very sorry for Tigers’ children.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Tiger isn’t talking because he’s trying to figure out how to hang onto his endorsements.</p>
<p>My husband’s question was whether he was leaving the house or going to the house at the time of the accident. It sounds like it’s been established that he was leaving?</p>
<p>There is never a reason to cheat on a spouse. If he didn’t like her temper, he should have divorced her first before he ventured out.</p>
<p>Their second child is not even a year old. Nothing worse than to have someone cheat on you when you are pregnant. But maybe that’s his excuse - his wife is not having enough sex with him while she’s carrying their child.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve never been in an Escalade, but could you not just lock yourself in and be protected? The thing looks like a fortress from the vantage point of a Corolla (from which I attempt to look around the things).</p>
<p>"I’ve never been in an Escalade, but could you not just lock yourself in and be protected? "</p>
<p>You wouldn’t be protected from someone trying to smash it with a golf club.</p>

<p>Who knows what the rules of their marriage are? </p>
<p>Unless she was trying to defend herself (and there’s no evidence thus far of this), there’s no excuse for his wife’s assaulting him. If he cheated and she doesn’t want to be with a cheater, she needs to file for divorce, not hit him upside the head. </p>
<p>Sounds to me like the charges pending may be assault charges against her.</p>
<p>I feel sorry for their kids. Looks like their dad can’t control his sex drive, and their mom can’t control her temper.</p>
<p>I wonder what else Tiger’s press agent has been keeping hidden over the years.</p>
<p>Didn’t realize there are that many rules when it comes to a marriage. </p>
<p>Rule #1, keep “it” in your pants after you are married.</p>
<p>She could have been so stressed by his cheating, she temporary lost control of her mind. Temporary insanity works for me. Good thing she didn’t have a gun.</p>
<p>My husband has “decided” that the wife is currently pregnant, so was also fueled by mama hormones. The rest of his scenario matches those previously posted. The speculation continues.</p>

<p>Every person’s marriage has its own rules. There are many people with open marriages. There are couples who think it’s fine to cheat as long as they don’t do it in a way that’s embarrassing.</p>
<p>Given the scandals involving marriages of celebrities and politicians, it seems that cheating is very prevalent in those. </p>
<p>I’m not excusing him. I think it’s sleazy to cheat especially on a pregnant or recently pregnant wife unless that’s something the couple agrees is OK.</p>
<p>Temporary insanity used to be a way of getting men off the hook who killed their romantic partners after learning of affairs. </p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t buy that for men in such positions or for women who go after their cheating husbands with golf clubs or guns.</p>
<p>Two wrongs don’t make a right.</p>
<p>As I said, I feel for the kids in that marriage.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me how Tiger and his wife can control when they will and when they will not talk to the police? The public or the media I understand, but the POLICE??? They are obviously being given as much time as they need to put their PR spin together - now you and I would not have that luxury…</p>
<p>Temporary insanity has been used by many women too - but it’s usually for physical abuse.</p>
<p>I doubt it if it was an open marriage she would have been so mad.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know about FLA, but in a lot of states you don’t have to talk to the police about a car accident, but you do have to file an accident report within 10 days.</p>
