Figjam is Mr Week to week

He's so inconsistent he's consistent

Ah it was the 8th, I didn't realize he started on the 10th.

The Valentine hats are lame.

Just sayin'.

[Titleist695mb]

yea not digging on the hats at all... another comment on this tourney.. why does Adam Scott wear tight pants!? for some reason i just dont like the guy anymore... i grew up in the "young gun" days and he was part of that. i loved watching him play growing up, i think after the whole caddy thing i became disgusted by it all... just looks kind of gay haha love the swing though. i dont know maube i just find him annoying and im not sure why?

I thought they had to do with the "Love your driver" campaign that Taylor-Made was doing. But, either way, it is silly to see Dustin Johnson looking into the camera looking like a hick at a county fair!  As Ricky Barnes would say, "Seriously!"

Dissappointed that my boy Mike Weir was denied an exemption. I guess being a two time past champion doesn't count for much anymore.

Wow, that seems very odd.

Jerry West is the Executive Director of the Northern Trust.    As General Manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, maybe he developed an aversion to Canadians since the team he inherited had just moved from Vancouver.

I like Weir, but I can see the rationale. He's only made two cuts in 2011 and 2012. A T70 at the AT&T; National and a T77 at last year's Northern Trust.

Ouch ... I knew he wasn't doing well, but wow.

I bought one his jackets ... so that should help.

I was there for the Phil eagle, kinda. Actually I was in my spot on the 9th tee watching the group I was following tee off, and Phil was in the group directly behind them.

I always tell myself, I'm not going to take pictures and focus on these guys' pre-shot routines and their swings. But, I walked in and found Phil on the second hole with the legendary clubhouse in the background and I couldn't resist. Took a few other photos and vids. In the vid of Sergio's tee shot you can hear the buzz of the crowd after Phil's hole-out.

One thing I learned today, Ricky Barnes is a beast! That dude is huge!

** my phone doesn't seem to want to send my pics right now, so I'll get them up asap

This... I think his elbow injury has pretty much killed his career but maybe he will bounce back.
