Alright, let’s talk about this Tiger Woods fella and his fancy boat, or what they call a “yacht.” Sounds highfalutin to me, but whatever. They say this thing is called “Privacy.” Guess he likes his peace and quiet, same as me when them grandkids ain’t around screamin’.
So, this boat, it ain’t no small thing. They say it’s 155 feet long! Can you imagine? That’s like, bigger than my whole darn house, maybe even bigger than the whole street back home! And get this, he bought it way back in 2004. That’s a long time ago! Folks are sayin’ it cost him a whole heap of money, like 20 million dollars! Lord have mercy, that’s enough money to buy the whole dang town I come from.
What’s so special about this “Privacy” thing, you ask? Well, it ain’t just some fishin’ boat, that’s for sure. They say it’s a real fancy, luxurious thing. Got room for 10 folks to sleep and 9 folks to work on it. Nine! That’s more than worked on the whole farm back in the day! And they say there’s this special fancy room, a “VIP stateroom” they call it, for real important people. I guess that’s where Tiger hangs out when he ain’t hittin’ them little white balls around.
- 155 feet long – That’s a big boat!
- Bought in 2004 – Been a while, huh?
- Cost about $20 million – A whole lotta money!
- Fits 10 passengers and 9 crew – That’s a crowd!
- Got a fancy VIP room – For the big shots.
Now, they say Tiger, his real name ain’t even Tiger. It’s somethin’ like Eldrick Tont Woods. Eldrick? Sounds like a cough medicine. His mama picked that name, somethin’ to do with his daddy’s name and her own name. And that “Tont”? That’s some kinda Thai name, from where she’s from. But they call him Tiger, after some fella his daddy knew, a Colonel from Vietnam. Guess Tiger sounds better than Eldrick, eh?
And get this, he don’t just have one boat, he’s got another one too! They say it’s called “Solitude” and he got it in 2010. Paid another 3 million for that one. Seems like this fella likes his boats. Me, I’m happy with just my two feet on solid ground. All that rockin’ and rollin’ on the water, no thank you. Makes my stomach turn just thinkin’ about it.
They call this “Privacy” boat a “megayacht” or a “superyacht.” Sounds like somethin’ out of a comic book to me. They say any boat bigger than 80 feet is called that. Eighty feet! That’s still bigger than my whole chicken coop! These rich folks sure do like their big toys. Guess if you got the money, you can spend it how you want. Me, I’d rather have a new tractor and a whole bunch of chickens, but that’s just me.
So, that’s the story of Tiger Woods and his big ol’ boat. A 155-foot, 20-million-dollar “Privacy” machine. He takes it all over the world, they say. Must be nice to have that kind of money. Me, I’m just happy sittin’ on my porch, watchin’ the sun go down. But hey, to each their own, right? This yacht thing, it’s just another world to me, a world of fancy boats and big money.
It’s amazing how much some folks spend on these boats. And it ain’t just about the size, it’s all the fancy stuff inside too. I bet it’s got more gadgets than that fancy store downtown. Must take a whole team of folks just to keep it clean and running. But that’s Tiger’s life, I guess. He plays his golf, makes his money, and buys his big boats. Me, I’ll stick to my garden and my chickens.
And all this talk about design and engineering, well, it just goes over my head. All I know is that it’s a big, fancy boat that cost a whole lot of money. And that’s about all I need to know. It’s a floating palace, they say. A palace on water. Well, I reckon I’m happier with my little shack on land, but to each their own, I always say.
