Should Tigers Spit?

This weekend was the Dubai Desert Classic, and what a crazy weekend it was for golf. The leader board was solid all weekend, with a few guys within striking distance of the leader up until Sunday afternoon. Tiger played well, eagled 18 on day one, shot under par until Sunday and generally showed us some of those great Tiger moments we've missed. He had a little breakdown on Sunday shooting over par and ending the day 7 off the leader.

Speaking of the leader, Alvaro Quiros dominated this weekend. His scorecard for Sunday was very colorful, with 2 eagles (neither of which were on a par 5) and a double bogey. He had a hole in one on the back 9 that was unbelievable. As much as I love Tiger, Alvaro definitely deserved to take this one home.

So... what's with the spitting? I mean, they're in the desert and camels spit all the time right? Well apparently on the European Tour you aren't suppose to spit on the golf course. I didn't know this rule until Tiger was fined yesterday for spitting on the course (he has since apologized via Twitter). This is where I think the rules get ridiculous, essentially they say it is not the way golfers should act. Well, what about John Daly then. I say his ridiculous pants should get him thrown off the tour. So if John Daly can wear those outfits, I think Tiger can spit when he needs to.

To leave you, here is a shot of Quiros with what looks like a fake set of the Emerald City in front of him.
