According to published reports and local media outlets, golf star Tiger Woods is at a sex rehab clinic in Hattiesburg, Miss. The media outlets have been showing a blurry photo of a man who several witnesses say is Tiger Woods, walking with a hood bundled over his head and body.
Radaronline has stated that the latest report by the National Enquirer leaves little doubt that the man in the picture is Tiger Woods, who is reportedly living in a cottage without a roommate at Gentle Path, which is part of Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services. He allegedly arrived on December 30 for a six-week program.
If this is indeed the real Tiger Woods, then I am happy for him. By working through his personal problems and preparing to re-enter public life, Tiger is doing what his father would want him to do. I also hope that Tiger ignores those who are attempting to judge his character after it was only revealed that he is slightly more unfaithful than millions of other Americans. Adultery is a fact of life, and although one cannot condone the choices Tiger made in his personal life, I've seen some entertainers, athletes and even pastors do much worse than him. But with all due respect to the good husbands out there, I think that most of us can agree that human beings make mistakes.
Go get 'em, Tiger.

Why should Tiger or any heterosexual man, should have to go into sex rehab? Because they like women? because they find the female body attractive? If Tiger was gay and was chasing men all over the golf course, he would be treated like a king, and have his own reality show. We have reached a new low in America when a healthy heterosexual appitite is considered sick and is psychologically disturbing yet, immodest and deviant homosexual behavior is considered normal and something that should be embraced and encouraged.

I hope & pray everything works out well for you Tiger. It did for me when I went into rehab (for something other than sex even though I'm just as guilty as sin for anything & everything you can think of including a well known form of sex addiction) & since then I'm still in hot water even though I'm trying to straighten up. But trying is not doing it so maybe it's time for me to Just Do It, too! Good Luck. I'd like to see you back on the golf course & back with your wife & kids. We learn way more from doing right than we do from our mistakes.
