Golf lost its first father, Earl Woods, and we should all take a minute to remember him.

I don't really know a lot about the man. But what I know about him was that he was a soldier. And that he trained his fourth off-spring Tiger Woods, to become a world champion in golf.

He nurtured and encouraged his son without becoming an overbearing and pushy 'Sports Dad'. He recognized Tiger's genius and found a way to maximize it.

Seeing this, I am sure that the children of different sports-person would pray to Lord that they get dads like Earl Woods.
