Tiger Woods is certainly not doing himself any favours by hiding away. It seems strange that a man who deserves to be brimful of self-confidence is demonstrating an inability to face up to the consequences of his actions.
Burying himself away, refusing to meet the police seem pretty obvious indicators of the fact that he has something to hide. But how bad can that be? What can he possibly be afraid of?
The trouble is that by shunning the police and the press, he’s only brought more attention to himself. The press and gossipy websites are now free to speculate....and they’re not holding back!
If only he’d had the courage to face the press and make light of whatever it was that happened, the attention could well have eased off. Instead, he finds himself the centre of a media storm.
I can only imagine that he’s not easily able to handle bad feelings. Presumably, he feels thoroughly ashamed and unable to accept the fact that he somehow brought the accident upon himself. And whereas some people might lash out and blame others in this situation, he’s taking the opposite tack – going into denial. But neither course of action is ultimately helpful...the best way to move on from any embarrassing episode is to face up to it, admit guilt, and deal with the consequences.
I’m sure there’s an appropriate golfing term for confronting difficult shots......perhaps some keen golfer could inform me?
