   Tiger? You mean 'Cheetah' Wood?

   He's a world champion golfer, recently in the news for his unfortunate and very public marital difficulties. Jeez, you really need to get out more. :D

   Pek,

   Golf.  What is that?  I did hear a rumour or two about grown fellows knocking little balls into holes with sticks, whilst dressed in very strange clothes.  However, I assumed such rumours to be urban myths, as surely no civilised society would indulge in such outlandish behaviour.

   I susopect that tigerwood may be another name for Zebrano, which is made of compressed Zebra odure and must be mined whilst wearing a mask, out on the Serengati.

   Lataxe, who shoots pointy sticks with another stick and a bit of string (far more sensible than the ball in a hole thing).

   Lataxe, I can report having seen the phenomenon firsthand, and it is as appalling as you suggest. I can only assume it to be some sort of Masonic/Skull and Bones initiation rite, after which the participants paddle each other and commit unlawful acts of congress with barnyard animals (each of which activity is as edifying and makes as much sense as the game itself).

   Do you have a specific problem with Masons?

   Your comment I find to be out of line.

   Do I have a problem with Masons? None at all, and I'm sorry you took offense. The (probably poor) attempt at humor was in reference to "secret" societies in general, which avid golfers seem, at least to me, to be a part of. The paddle and goat stuff was more in reference to the kinds of initiation rituals purported to exist in fraternities.Being that good humor shouldn't have to be explained, I guess I missed my putt on this one, heh-heh.

   You may have a hard time finding Tiger Wood.  It seems that this Wood is a little hard to find recently.  Tiger Wood seems quite willing to propagate as much as possible, but the Wood used to be able to find on beautiful manicured grass areas.  However, the Wood seems to have moved to other places recently.  Good luck on finding Tiger Wood.
