Tiger Woods owned a pimped-out golf cart with spinner wheels

We’re reading the book Tiger doesn’t want you to see to bring you the news that matters.

THE BIG MISS, the much-anticipated book about Tiger Woods written by his former coach Hank Haney, came out this morning.

We’ll have a full rundown of all the big revelations later today.

But for now, here’s the best anecdote we found: When Haney showed up to Tiger’s house on his first day, Tiger was on his front lawn next to his tricked out, custom-built golf cart.

The cart had “spinner wheels with a TW logo, a stereo system, and a top speed of 28 miles per hour,” Haney writes. That’s twice as fast as a normal golf cart.

Haney wrote earlier that Tiger didn’t really care about extravagance when it came to his house. But when it came to ridiculous golf carts, he was apparently all about the bling.

Keep an eye out for more of these nuggets throughout the day.

    NAMA got a bigger offer, so what is the issue? They are (allegedly) there to get the best price for the properties they have on their books. So Dublin GAA should have gone higher?

    As in Nama use the funding from the sale to help weaker counties compete with Dublin’s resources?

    I don’t think Dublin need another training complex (although the GAA would have like a smaller stadium in Dublin) but building ANOTHER hotel is a ridiculous idea.

    So NAMA recieved a higher offer did they for this Complex. I would double check that. Especially with those gangsters and their dealings.

    If it was the FAI or the IRFU you can be sure that a way would be found to accommodate them.
