Hate Mail From Those Not Ready to Forgive & ForgetAre we really getting ready to let Tiger of the hook? After one scripted press conference, ESPN practically tripped all over itself saying that Tiger has taken the right steps to be restored in the hearts and minds of the American Public.

But what about those who are not so willing to forgive and forget? Most of them are too polite to rip Tiger a new one, too proud to sound off in public, or legally bound to keep their mouths shut.

What if they could tell Tiger how they really felt? What if they could write Tiger a letter, giving him a piece of their minds? And what if we could get a hold of those letters and share them with our readers.

Here's just a sample of how those letters might read...

Had enough of the whole Tiger scandal? Good, so have we. And that's why we're getting back to focusing on golf around here.

First up is a critique of Elin Nordegren's window-smashing swing mechanics. Then we'll put her in historical context by analyzing other celebrities who have taken out their rage in the same manner.

In the course of preparing this in-depth analysis, we were surprised to discover that...

Among celebrities driven to insane club-swinging rages, only Elin made the right club choice.

Enjoy the list, and be sure to check back for future updates. Elin certainly wasn't the first, and she surely won't be the last.

Most golfers know that they take their lives into their hands every time they tee off. And many have died in the pursuit of the perfect round. But, while stories of catastrophe abound, a responsible golfer can learn invaluable lessons from those who have gone before.

Below find nine tales from the great Golf Course In the Sky, each followed by critical tidbits of advice for avoiding a similar fate.

Attack of the Giant Amphibious Reptiles
Alligators on the golf course can be extremely dangerous. Bruce Burger of Venice, FL found this out the hard way — he was pulled into a pond when an 11-foot alligator chomped on his right arm. Bruce was playing the 6th hole at Lake Venice Golf Course when he reached into the pond to retrieve his ball. He used his golf club to beat the alligator, which eventually let him go.
How to Avoid Being Eaten by an Alligator

Throw Marshmallows
Most people already know: ALLIGATORS LOVE MARSHMALLOWS! This is why they are drawn to your golf ball when it lands in the water. Make sure to carry plenty of marshmallows in your golf bag. I prefer the Jet Puffed brand because they are easy to throw, but any kind will work. (see figure 1, below)

Fig. 1: Show no fear. You have marshmallows.

Before getting too close to the edge of the bank, begin throwing marshmallows into the part of the lake as far from your golf ball as possible. If you are playing with a partner, make sure to work together. Have your partner throw marshmallows while you look for your lost golf ball.

Important Note: Do not try this on a crocodile. Crocodiles are immune to the lure of sugary treats.

Hold Mouth Closed
Alligators bite with force of 1200 lbs. per square inch, but they are very weak when it comes to opening their mouths. If an alligator attacks you while you are reaching into the water, simply wrestle him on to the shore, jab him in the eyes with whatever you can get your hands on, e.g. a green tool, a beer can, your nine iron, your thumb, etc.

When he releases his bite, immediately remove any articles of clothing, or appendages from his mouth and then try to maneuver yourself onto the alligator's back.

Important Note: If you are working with a partner, make sure your partner DOES NOT begin throwing marshmallows into the center of the lake while you are on top of the alligator.

Tiger Woods may be the best golfer of all time, but we've yet to see a visual overview of his career that is worthy of his achievements.

At ZipGolfer, we set out to correct that mistake. We've created the "Ultimate Golf Infographic". This interactive opus is...

One graphic to rule them all — a single source for all of Tiger's results, complete with video highlights, winnings and opponents he's yet to vanquish.

Now, when Tiger gets the urge to reflect on his own career, he can turn here first.
