Sample:
Steiny: How you coming on the endorsement deals for bunkers and water hazards? You know I was in 22 bunkers and hit four water shots at the PGA. Shouldn't that speak for itself? "Put your golf ball in sand or water and come miss the cut with Tiger Woods!"
Not funny, said one Canadian reader.
Dear Golf Digest:
I received the December issue today and when I was reading it I got to the article which was written by Dan Jenkins about the Tiger text-message book. This is the second month in a row that I have been thoroughly disgusted by an article in the magazine. Last month was the Tiger facial hair bit and this month the Tiger text book.
I am sick of reading articles by petty old men that still after two year voice an opinion that no one cares about. Tiger has done more for the game of golf and for your magazine than any other person in the game. Yet, you still continue to publish articles at his expense. I am getting very fed up with these kinds of articles in the magazine and think your writers should get some class and find some other topics that people actually care about and write about that, rather than ones beating on Tiger. I will actually consider cancelling my subscription if this keeps up.

"Wit is educated insolence." Dan Jenkins said that. No, he didn't; it was Aristotle, but it might have been Jenkins. We get your point, but this magazine and most others have also spent a great deal of time over the past decade singing Tiger's praises. He's made that more difficult for us lately, but I think you'll find that when his game returns--and I'm one who thinks it will--the tide will turn. Meanwhile, you're more than right: Tiger's contributions to the game and to this magazine have been significant.
