Be bold, Tom, be bold- September 23, 2006 K CLUB Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, JFK, Richard Nixon, Mike Tyson, Oprah Winfrey, we are beating them all! George Bush, can you hear me George Bush, your boys are taking one hell of a beating! One hell of a beating! I have just returned to the media centre after watching two hours of the worst golf played by Tiger Woods in these islands since the world number one got blown off course at the 2002 Open at Muirfield.
