3/10/2004: Tiger Woods' unique tee-off



The richest man in the world is not Tiger Woods; it's the sultan of Dubai, who constructed an island in the Arabian Gulf so that he could contruct an amazing awesome modern hotel, as high as the Eiffel Tower and shaped like a huge sail.



The Burj Al Arab Hotel has a heloport two-thirds of the way up, and that's where Tiger took his playful tee shots into the Gulf, from a height of about 1000 feet.



I would imagine it's nice to be the sultan; and I would imagine it's nice to be the greatest golfer of all time. We can only look at amazing pictures like this, and imagine.
