Bits and Pieces for a Tuesday

-Most expensive car crash ever?  Here's a list of ten of the most expensive and here is the one that now tops the list.  Tks to brother Bill for forwarding to Diane.

-Jason Sobel's take on Tiger not enjoying golf anymore is off target to my way of thinking.  That pure joy of a game played that we all had as youngsters matures as we grow older into a more intelligent and accepting view of games as relaxation or a break from the more demanding elements of our lives, like our families and our work or even our passionate hobbies.  Golf, or any other game that we play, remains enjoyable but not in the same way as Jason is saying is important for Tiger to recapture.  I'm reminded of Ernie Banks and his "let's play two" and maybe that is the kind of attitude that Jason is thinking of.  Don't think TW needs that though I do think he does need the desire to go out and win, to tromp his opponents, and to further his march towards the major record that has been his goal for a long time (wonder when he did set that as a goal?).  And to do all that, he needs to get out and sharpen his game - and to get his personal life in some kind of order.  The sooner, the better. 

-Michelle Wie to open her season in Thailand next month - from golf365.  Vying for #1 this year?  Heck, why not.
