Quote by Hank Haney

“Though he never articulated it, I know Tiger believed in the idea of the Package. It went along with the sense of destiny his father had passed to him - that he was put on this earth to do something extraordinary with his special qualities, to "let the legend grow." But those qualities, foremost among them an extraordinary ability to focus and stay calm under pressure, also included selfishness, obsessiveness, stubbornness, coldness, ruthlessness, pettiness, and cheapness. When they were all at work in the competitive arena, they helped him win. And winning gave him permission to remain a flawed and in some ways immature person.”

“The scream is the great multitasker of human expression. It covers agony, ecstasy, relief, frustration. It's especially useful when you're at a loss for words. Tiger did a lot of screaming that afternoon. With Joe. Coming off the green by himself. Walking toward the clubhouse, in response to his fans. His people. Primal screaming, his mouth so open you could count his teeth. Golf is famously a game for whispering. Roger Maltbie, in the NBC Sports trailers, is the Golf Whisperer. Spectators use their library voices. Players and caddies confer quietly. Golf, Calvinist by origin and reserved by tradition, had never heard such screaming, the likes of Tiger Woods, either. Tiger had won at Augusta, the place where he got the first of his fifteen, and a dam had burst.”

“It was in the neck of the Boat pool in October 1922 that Georgina Ballantine, the daughter of a ghillie, landed the largest ever salmon at 64lb. The capture and landing is described as 'Homeric' on the beat's website today. Following its capture and killing, a cast was taken by a taxidermist from Malloch's in Perth. The fish's body was then donated to and eaten by patients and staff at Perth Royal Infirmary. The stuffed fish was then added to the sculpted monuments to the dead going up all along Tayside between the two world wars.”
