I just read it on NY Times and then saw your thread - funny.

I like Charlie Wi's wanderlust at Rock's swing -- sorry, lost my train of thought ... was thinking of Robert's swing...

good stuff

Just wondering what you found weird about it.

It's an interesting article.

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

I love Robert Rock's swing. But this is a piece about some guy's hair . There's a short paragraph at the end about his swing that feels more like an addendum or a footnote. How is a piece on follicles not, just a little unusual? Forums, small talk yes. A NYT piece?

Here it is, coming from another guy who's definitely not follicle challenged.

Stretch, it's good but one of them's a great golfer and genuinely nice guy. The other is an *******. ;)

Just read the story. It's not so much about his hair than the fact he's a rarity in that he doesn't wear a hat.

But I agree that it was way too much discussion of lack of headgear than why he's an up & comer on tour.
