Wifely extensions…

Trevor White and the Dubliner Magazine are eejits for their publication of photos that have been discounted for the past 3 years but the analysis by Tiger Woods of his marriage is deserving of some consideration.

‘My wife is an extension of me’ says Tiger. Now I would have thought that Elin is a woman, a person, an individual. Are we to think that she is one of his ribs ala the Garden of Eden? I am sure that Tiger and Elin were upset about the article but who was more upset Tiger or Elin? And are we seeing yet another facet of the American Golfing wife syndrome here as someone who is an extension of their husband and standing quietly beside the green on the 18th to welcome the great man home?

Tiger seemed embarrassed to admit that his wife had been a model – there is an inference that since they married that this is something that one should forget about. The whole thing is one brouhaha amongst many in the next few days no doubt
