I must say this is something that I would have to agree with. You can't give the accountant access to the accounts and the key to the safe. The money can disappear and so can any record of it. Here is my lates on the Tiger Woods sage. http://golfwithbill.com/tiger-woods-on-family-values/ Thanks. “Working for an independent golf publication and for a golf star at the same time still falls into the “not ethical” category.”

The rules HAVEN'T changed just because traditional journalism entities are collapsing. What was ethical still is; what was not ethical still isn't. Working for an independent golf publication and for a golf star at the same time still falls into the "not ethical" category. Sorry, Mr. Fry.

It is not as if Golf Digest has led the nation in coverage of the Woods scandal. They have not and, in fact, have relied on AP wire reports while writing Ten Tips Tiger Can Give Obama stories. Now to learn that Golf Digest has an inside track to Woods through Soltau is disgusting. The world is waiting to hear from Woods, and here we have a reporter who is in some sort of communication with him, and there is nothing but stilted statements on a Web site. If Soltau has any connections with the news business, he knows he's sitting on a story. Not just sitting on it, but stifling a story. His press credentials should be ripped up.
