Thought you would like to know that Ruby Young of Omega, Ga. died May 8,2009. She was the lady who led the Omega High School boys baseball team to the state playoffs in the late 50s. She also coached the girls and boys high school basketball teams. She was quite a lady and coach and she left quite an impression on the lives she touched. I am pretty sure you wrote an article about her earlier.

Tiger is one of the greatest golfers who ever lived, and I’m sure that all the sports writers, TV announcers, and others can hardly stand the fact that Tiger has not won so much recently. Had he not been chasing Nicklaus’ record last year at the US Open and withdrawn from that event, I’m sure his leg would not have been damaged so badly. He will return, but in the meantime it is good to see others win.

When I saw the headline, I thought, what an odd place for a story about the Tamil Tigers, down to their last redoubt in Sri Lanka. I never thought the AJC sports pages were so… cosmopolitan. Well, congratulations and keep up the good work. Raji

Does Tiger play with his own balls?

I’m a retired old pro athlete, both knees and both shoulders replaced by Dr. Andrews, you hit it on the head “wxwax” . . . “A man whose game is in a bit of a shambles is still nudging the leaders every time he plays. It’s quite remarkable.” Remarkable, is an understatement given the level of competitive play on any professional level.

Having played on myself in spite of continuous surgeries to repair issues that slowed me, I can say from experience that your statement is a very profound one, indeed.

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger….He is fighting himself. I don’t think he will win for a while. Nice try Furman. Tiger was never in it.

Anyone who watched Woods play on Saturday knows he’s fighting his game. That he was in the final pairing was more a testimony to the failure of others than to his own great golf.

And the fact that he’s been hanging around the leaders since he returned from knee surgery is a testament not to the quality of his golf, but to the strength of his resolve and his will to win.

A man whose game is in a bit of a shambles is still nudging the leaders every time he plays. It’s quite remarkable.
