Patrick and his family have since movedout of the area, but the other fiddlers still gettogether to play at various events.

The North Woods WeeklyFrom Fourth Lake to Israel’s River, from Lake Umbagog to Island Pond

Past, Present, and MidgeBy Midge Rosebrook

He Wears Red On SundaysThere were many who counted him out.

He’s too old now, his body won’t take it,he’s lost his touch, he’s washed up. Therewas nothing they were saying that couldbe called a lie.

He hadn’t won a major in 11 years. Thelast time he won the Masters was in 2005.His private life was a train wreck. He suf-fered a broken leg and had four majorback surgeries, the first three unsuccess-ful. Always in pain, he couldn’t sit uprighta chair and was only semi-comfortable ina recliner.

He couldn’t get up without help andcould barely walk. He was on strong painmedication and one night was pulled overfor being under the influence, which wasrecorded on camera and plastered all overthe news.

But in a last-ditch effort, he agreed toone more surgery on his back. For the nexttwo years he worked super-hard withphysical trainers and nutritionists, withone thing on his mind—to prove us allwrong. And on Sunday, April 14, wearing

his signature red jersey, the one and onlyTiger Woods did just that.

Playing against the best golfers in theworld, in the biggest golf tournament inthe world, the Masters at Augusta, he puton a clinic. He did not falter, he did notflinch. Tiger had his game face on.They’ve always said the Masters doesn’tbegin until the back nine on Sunday. BothTiger and Tony Finau were trailing by twobehind Francesco Molinari, who was at -13 on the 12th green. He drove the balldead-center on the far left side of thegreen, and waited.

Both Molinari and Finau put both oftheir shotss in the creek, setting them upfor a dropped ball at the edge of the driv-ing green, both now down a stroke. Whenthe three walked away from the 12th,Tiger and Molinari were tied at -11.

The man most sports analysts had writ-ten off, never to reach the pinnacle of thesport that was once his and whose bestdays were behind him, sunk the winningputt on the 18th hole a few hours later. Hedid it in front of an entire batch of new

golfers who’ve all stated that watchingTiger Woods when they were kids is thereason they’re playing pro golf.

Folks, those of us who watched theMasters last Sunday had witnessed thebiggest comeback in sports history! In anysport! Later that evening, looking very

tired but wearing his fifth green jacket,Tiger was asked by a reporter to pleasesum up in a few words for the viewersabout his win.

He answered, “Never give up, don’tever give up.” Words to live by.
