My son and I sat down to watch some of the Australian Golf Tournament recently. Not because he is interested in golf, but because I wanted him to see the greatest golfer of all time in action.
A man who has smashed the racial divisions in golf, and brought excitment to a game some feared had lost its edge.
He certainly brought them in through the gates at an Australian golf tournament threatened with irrelevance.
I said to my son, ‘there is the greatest golfer ever!”
Now we find out that his feet are well and truly made of clay, with multiple affairs becoming apparent.
What interests me though is what the failure in a moral sense means for a leader.
We find out today that sponsors are dropping off the Tiger… News
While on one hand we seem to be a society that endorses a hedonistic lifestyle, when someone public crosses that indistinguishable line, we drop off them!
People actually do have in innate sense of decency about them, a conscience. We might all be hypocrites and hold others to a higher standard than ourselves, none the less, none of us really think we are just animals, nor do we think we behave like them.
Yep true words – even in our whatever-goes world adultery can still bring a train wreck
stone throwing time … we like that eh?
Yes…lots of that going on!
All of us have feet of clay….
