Unless I’m mistaken, the land upon which Tiger “Tiger” Woods will inscribe his first USA golf course tends a bit toward hilly. All right, I’ll cease the chicanery: it’s a freakin’ mountain! How does Tiger Woods think that this little old track will be a walkers-only course? Can he ensure that the trip from green to next tee will be a fairly brief one (see Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes)? There is a walk from, let’s see, the 13th green to the 14th tee at Bandon Trails that gifted three men with heart attacks the first three months the course was open…and they had caddies! That’s the kind of walk Tiger will have to avoid. Will he open the Steve Williams Caddie Institute at High Carolina? Tiger is quoted as saying:
“Even an idiot can’t mess this up,” he said. “I think I’m a little above that.”
Well, Monsieur Woods, it might be difficult to utilize all features of the land properly while leaning the course toward walkers alone. Many great mountain courses (think New England, Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico) accept the trade-off. I for one am anxious to follow this saga to the end, and hopefully attempt to WALK the course. Are you reading, boss?

Dude, you need to straighten up and be morer clear - your slang is not "cool" and it makes you look like just some idiot with a blog.
"Inscribe" his course? "Gifted" three men with heart attacks. That's lousy word choice. In fact, more than any other person on this page, you struggle to use the right word. At least Jennifer Mario isn't weird.
Some guys here have real opinions and write clearly so people can understand their point. You just seem toi write to fill space and act in a strange way.
BY the way...it take it from your article, you have not been there yet...so how do you know its not walkable?
Are you a professional or just some loudmouth who likes to hear himself talk?
Man, you don't know anything. It's "Elihu" and what does that have to do with anything? Tiger "Tiger" woods was just weird.
[Elihu comes from what? Give us some basis for this nickname. The Tiger in quotes was humorous, based on repetition. No one has the same nickname as first name, so it was funny.]

[You'll find if you reread my blogs that I don't use slang. I am a highly-educated professional, well-read, with an enormous ego. As such, my blogs are not idiotic; they might penetrate areas yet explored, but that is the risk a curious writer takes.]

[Both word choices are literary. Why use the same verbs over and over? Check out most writers...they rarely stray from their idiolect. Gifted is irony...you might research it. Your suggestion that I lack the correct (right is slang, amigo) word stems from this addiction on your part to common turns of phrase. Read more and different writers and you'll agree. Unless you know Jennifer personally, you cannot decree that she is or is not, weird.]

[This is a great comment. Which guys? Back up your claim. Dot Wong? Kiel Christianson? Tim and Chris? Here's a thought: if we all write the same way, where's the challenge? For example, Kiel is fluent in Illinoisian, a unique dialect, while Chris speaks Vegan, and Tim dabbles in Floridian. I cannot make those claims, so I do what I does.]
