3. What is the single best idea that the U.S. government has ever had (excluding the setup of the government itself)?

Prompt: 2

It remains to be seen whether Tiger Woods will surpass Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major championships. He currently has a whopping 14, but the last came at the U.S. Open in 2008. Certainly, he is the best golfer of our time, and perhaps any time ever. Tiger got to this position with an unprecedented work ethic. He started at the tender age of two or three years, and he’s been beating balls since. Tiger’s father, a Vietnam War veteran, distilled this singular determination in him. For this work ethic, Tiger Woods is a good role model.

I’m not saying he’s a saint. Woods is known for reacting to mediocre shots with bursts of anger that include foul language and club slamming. But no man is perfect. Young golfers will still benefit from imitating Tiger’s swing, his work ethic, and his desire to win.
