The guy seems to have a major chip on his shoulder.<BR/><BR/>Actually though, I didn't include Annika, Michelle and Paula though I have little doubt they're more recognizable then the guys I did include. I didn't include senior golfers either, though I'm quite sure the names Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gregg Norman would resonate more loudly with the general public than those I did include. I just wanted to simplify it and include those who regularly play with Tiger. Probably not a perfect slant. <BR/><BR/>On the actual poll I wrote a footnote on that, I think I'll add it to this article.Patricia Hanniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-9179382953267761352007-02-13T10:33:00.000-05:002007-02-13T10:33:00.000-05:00Patricia, Patricia, Patricia!What about Annika?
