Star Member MineralMan (94,432 posts) 12. For some, I suppose it's still an issue to have had a black man as a golf champion. Was Jack Nicklaus ever stopped for DUI? I don't know. How about all those others? Surely, some of them tossed back one or two too many of an afternoon and got stopped after driving erratically. But we've never heard about those stops. But, Tiger Woods? Well, now... I don't know. As I said, I don't follow golf, so I have never paid a lot of attention. I knew of his success, of course. He's not playing so well anymore, but then, who of us is, really? A DUI arrest is a local news story. There's one every day in every news market, at least. It's not really of national interest, I'd think.
