The story of Dr. V and her putter was getting stranger by the second. An aeronautical physicist with a sun allergy builds the worlds greatest putter by rejecting conventional wisdom, then watches as deep-pocketed competitors try to steal her secrets and shut her out of the market.
Thanks for the link this needs to be a movie. Holy cow.
Thread needs a catchier title! because this story is incredibly even if you don't care about golf at all.
I can't be alone in thinking writer was partially or directly responsible for the suicide right? Can't blame him one iota for good journalism and fact-checking, but just reading through the whole thing I thought it had to be a really difficult experience to go through

Yeah totally. That might actually be tthe most mystifying thing to me. For someone of his stature to put himself on the line like that...weird.Well, she had a lot of problems, certainly the writer wasn't the only personto have found out about her fraud and her past, and she had a previous suicide attempt.
What puzzles me is Gary McCord. He said thatClearly he is outright lying.he knew four star generals, and Dan Quayle, and that they were able to verify Dr. V's involvement in the Pentagon.
The suicide had nothing to with him "outing" someone and everything to do with that person being seriously unhinged.Why the spoiler tags? It only takes about ten minutes to read this story.
Anyway, I don't know what to think about the guilt of the author. Would there have been a way for him to have avoided outing her without going along with all her lies?

I don't understand the whole "it's ok to let people lie about their past" thing when it comes to this subject. It's part of the story, and is public record due to the lawsuit.That seems pretty obvious, yeah. People do have a right not to be outed, though. Anyway, the author never said that he was planning on outing her before her suicide, so who knows.

Yeah, that was really odd. Makes me wonder if he was just bullshitting, or if he new her in some way and was just sort of covering for her.What puzzles me is Gary McCord.

since we're all here: how could a putter have a zero moment of inertia?
