I was thinking about the Masters this weekend and trying to figure out how I can pay tribute to my favorite tournament. Since I don’t want to just offer a list of links dedicated to the Masters (but, rest assured, you’ll get plenty of those), I thought I’d take on a task of a larger scale.<\/p>\n

For the 2006 Masters, I want Martha Burke to protest the Sand Trap’s headquarters for the irreverance, attitude, and tone of this column. Wouldn’t that be fantastic?<\/p>\n

Martha, I’m coming for you.

\nBattle of Josh?<\/strong>
\nThe only thing better than this would be a battle (meaning wrestling) between Natalie Gulbis, Sonya Toms, Amy Mickelson, and Jennifer Rosales… over me… and in some pudding… at Augusta. [link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Fashion Plate<\/strong>
\nAnyone else intrigued by Ian Poulter and Darren Clark’s pants? I like the resurgence of the 1980s. The pants might be so tight that I can see their twig and berries, but I still like them. I’m also noticing players who are “popping the collar” and wearing flourescent colors – again, totally eighties. Which reminds me, wouldn’t Phil and Tiger be great as Sonny Crocket and Rico Tubbs? The PGA Tour ought to do a commercial with those two as Miami Vice and end with “These guys are good.” [link<\/a> and link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Staring at the Sun<\/strong>
\nI’ve played golf since I was four and the closest I’ve come to a hole-in-one is lipping out a 7-iron two years ago. I guess I’ll stop thinking about it and just come to the realization that it is completely dumb luck<\/strong>. [link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Headgear<\/strong>
\nFrom the title you might get cold shivers from your years as a teenager wearing mouthpieces and headgear to bed, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m not sure what I think about the vucket, but to stick with the fashion theme of this week’s edition, I thought I’d throw it in. [link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Rain Check<\/strong>
\nPhil, if it ain’t broke, than don’t try to fix it. You were 5 strokes away from winning every major<\/strong> last year. Translated, you found a formula that worked. So why are you sticking around at the Bell South? You need to get out ASAP. [link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
