I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your take, but that number is ridiculous. Based on a quick perusal of the player bios on pgatour.com, the median is closer to 180. (And I didn't click on every single player, but I didn't see a single one less than 150.)

Phil claims his weight is 200, but my guess is that's a best case number and he's usually around 220+

[/quote] I was being slightly sarcastic about the 150...sorry. But I wouldn't say that the average is much more than 160-165. And everyone knows that athletes boost up their height and weight in their bios. Short skinny guys make it seem they are taller and heavier and fat guys make it seem like they lighter. Ie..man boobs mickelson

The average is not 160-165. It's higher.

And I think everyone sees through the "sarcasm" claim. You were being serious, and when called out on it, try to pass it off as "sarcasm."

What on earth could this possibly mean?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

weren't you guys talking about physical stature. I said "luke" meaning "look" at Luke Donald because he's small. "luke" (look) LUKE Donald.

your the boss, if your going to close it, do it quick, rather than have people write down their snooty comments about me. Don't look back in anger, right?

What could ever be said that tops your own words and actions?

Start a new thread when you're a true single digit capper and have an idea what the rest of the journey may involve.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.
