When Earl Woods played golf with his super-busy son, Tiger Woods
Talking about the time he played with his son, Woods’ father said, “The thing I remember most about the day is that Tiger made a hole in one, and then I almost put one right on top of it, and the only thing he said was “good shot.” They played together at Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach, “two Christmases ago.” However, the 15 times major championship had a busy schedule that day.
The duo had to leave early, and Woods’ father was slightly upset. He said, “I didn’t even get a free drink because he was in a hurry.” But the PGA pro did all he could. Earl mentioned it and said, “All he did was authorize the bartender to give everyone in the clubhouse a free drink, and then we left.”
