Panic over with! Tiger Woods turned up to the Phoenix Open with his dazzling smile restored aſter his dentist replaced the front tooth Woods had lost at the awards ceremony aſter watching his girlfriend, skier Lindsey Vonn, win her record 63rd World Cup race in the Italian Alps last month. According to Woods, there was blood
everywhere aſter he was accidently struck on the face by a ‘dude with a shoulder mounted video camera’. However, World Cup race officials in Cortina d'Ampezzo were at odds with Woods saying that there was no report of any incident involving him. “I was among those who escorted him from the tent to the snowmobile and there was no such incident,” said Nicola Colli, the secretary general of the race’s organising committee. Whatever the truth may be, the incisor in question has history as it was the same one damaged in 2009 when Elin Nordegren, now the ex-Mrs Woods, reportedly threw a mobile phone at Tiger, striking him full in the face. To paraphrase Mark Twain, ‘the tooth
is stranger than fiction.’ Also amongst those competing at the Phoenix Open was Australian golfer Robert Allenby who claimed that aſter missing the cut at the Sony Open in Honolulu, he was kidnapped from a wine bar in Hawaii, robbed, beaten and dumped in a park. Allenby told police that he could not remember a two and a half hour period during which he suffered injuries to his face. “From about 23:06 to about 01:27, I have no memory in my brain. I have nothing,”

said Allenby. Whilst Allenby claimed he was found
several miles away from the wine bar, US Press reports later stated that a woman found the golfer just a block away from the bar. Perhaps a case of selective memory
loss or maybe the kidnappers were kind enough to return Allenby from where they had taken him? Being a bit of a happy hacker, I always
find it reassuring whenever a round of golf doesn’t quite go to plan for one of the world’s leading professional players. In this instance it was Germany’s Martin Kaymer who managed to blow a 10 stroke lead to lose the Abu Dhabi Championship in January. Kaymer, ranked number 12 in the
world and the winner of two majors, was 500-1 on to win the tournament at the start of his final round and his capitulation had many experts fearing that this could have a lasting effect on his game. However, Kaymer believes that he will be a better player for this experience and told the Daily Telegraph that “It shows that we are not machines, that we are not proof that ‘German engineering’ always works. It does work usually, but once in a while, it comes unstuck as well.” ‘Vorsprung Durch Technik’ as Derek Trotter would say.
Happy Hacking! Mulligan
