Norman and Tiger have time to sort things out

Let’s be honest — there are certain people that we just don’t like, and that includes colleagues, family members and fellow golfers.

Greg Norman and Tiger Woods could perhaps fall into this category.

In a wide-ranging interview with Men’s Health magazine that focused on the 64-year-old’s fitness, Norman opened up a little bit about his relationship with the 15-time major winner, and revealed that he hand-delivered a congratulatory note to Woods’ house in Jupiter, Florida, after Woods’ win.

Greg commentated: “When Tiger won the Masters this year, I wrote him a handwritten note and drove down my road, maybe a quarter of a mile, and handdelivered it to the security guard at his gate. I said, ‘Hey, this is Greg Norman here. I’ve got a note for Tiger — can you please hand-deliver it to him?’ Well, I never heard a word back from the guy.

“When I won my first major championship, Jack Nicklaus was the first person to walk down out of the TV tower and congratulate me. I don’t know — maybe Tiger just dislikes me. I have no idea.

“I’ve never had a conversation with him about it.

“I’ve always been respectful about what his father did for him. I played nine holes with him at his father’s and IMG’s request when

Tiger was 14 or 15 and I was the No.1 player in the world, to give an assessment of this kid.

“So, I have always been willing.” Perhaps this is all just a big misunderstanding and Woods never received Greg’s note, but if the Aussie lives to the ripe age of 110, which he stated as his goal (yes seriously), the two have a little bit of time to sort things out.

Out of Bounds: As a golfer, choose to be optimistic rather than pessimistic. It feels better.
