Wacky airplane heckler buzzes Tiger Woods at Masters

Apr 8, 2010, 1:00 PM EDT

When Augusta National officials said that there would be an army of security personnel on hand this week to stomp out potential hecklers, they forgot one important thing: No modern war was ever won without air support. Woods began play at the Masters at 1:42 p.m., and the scene on he ground was peaceful; our hero even pausing to fist-bump a young fan. (We need some Purell here! Stat!). But no one counted on an aerial assault, this one with a witty play on the word “Buddhism.”


So, Tiger’s comeback is underway! Unless Joslyn James parachutes in on the 15th fairway, the news is going to be rather tame for the rest of the day. But you can follow it on the NBCSports Masters Blog anyway.
The plane, by the way, buzzed Augusta as Woods was teeing off on the first. He didn’t seem to notice it, but then, it is pretty far away. Perhaps the pilot was afraid that Augusta had flak guns.

    That is the worst Jesus Quote of all, implying,when a woman was to be stoned to death for adultery no less,instead of saying”Thou shall not stone anyone to death for adultery”, leaving the door open for her death by someone without sin. All the while every Holy Man in your Bible had many slaves,and underage concubine.It’s time to put down the weed,pills and booze,grow out of your messiah complex and join the real world! Thanks

    Win one and all is forgiven, win four and all is forgotten.

    Get a life and stop trying to hang onto a Tiger’s tail.

    So what is your point? That Rome was destroyed so many times that the Medevil Inquisition and all the other religious wars is just “same s**t different day?”. Just the way the cookie crumbles?
    MY Point is that Buddhism is a good religion. A religion that teaches the concept of karma. For each action there are consequences. Any harm or evil you do, will come back to bite you 10 times worse.
    Tiger has alot more bad karma his way. It may not happen during the masters but it will. If he knows his religion, he better work hard to rebuild his good blessings by doubling his charity foundation efforts, volunteering his own time, and meditating his arse off.
