Back in the day, 1997 to be precise, Fuzzy Zoeller recounted a colored joke about Tiger Woods which went like this about Tiger Woods ordering dinner requesting “fried chicken . . . or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve” at the champions dinner.
Zoeller, as you all golfing enthusiasts know is the Indiana native who has a all too quintessential tobacco infused baritone. Zoeller was a paragon of a model for how players should treat members on the greens who were out watching the golfing greats play.
So in your opinion, do you think Zoeller did grave injustice to Tiger Woods by making that joke? I think personally, we all make such comments to our friends and family. But doing it in private and doing it in public, that too when you are such a popular public person and will potentially have a huge fan base that looks up to you, is not good.
Tiger is an extremely refined balanced and respectful person and he should be treated the same, whether on the golf course or off.
Well in my opinion, yes it is wrong of a famous celebrity to speak bad about another person, expecially in public but I don’t believe Fuzzy Zoeller meant any harm by what was said. Fuzzy Zoeller to me is still the greatest golfer ever to live because he held his ground in the championship last year. Most people wouldn’t even have made it as far as he did. This guy is a true legend and besides he’s in some poker tournament in the Atlantis this September, so I highly doubt he is worried at all about Tiger! He’s an poker expert in the making!
typical response but you are probably the only person other than his kids maybe to think fuzzy is a legend.
