  1. I swore on a golf course a couple times:)
  2. Justin Rose played with style, and carried himself with grace and class: well done, Justin.
  3. David Duvall is being very gracious about Jordan: some of these other golf channel guys have rocks in their heads: Chamblee is so bitter: he acts like he needs a high colonic.
  4. Congratulations, Jordan! Rory showed class and grit, Phil played great, Tiger did good, and I'm really happy that Charlie Hoffman qualified for next year's Masters: he did really good, especially given the fact that he played the last two days with Jordan and Phil: great job, Charlie!
  5. There are considerate people and nice golf courses on planet earth: One just has to wade through the Greedies to get there, same as any other place they smell money:)
  6. That gal in the"Hannah and her Horse" commercial is molten lava: they're trying to get us to endure the commercials. Golf Channel is ninety percent commercials, with the occasional golf shot thrown in.:)
  7. Hubba Hubba:) I don't know about Tiger's coach.
  8. Thanks, Valley golfer:)
  9. Anybody know where the radio coverage is?
  10. Conversation between Zen caddie and Zen golfer, on the eighteenth fairway, for the Win. Caddie: "Club?" Player: "I see the shot on the canvas of my mind, trackless, as the sky is, to a flock of birds." Caddie: "Indeed: Who is the you you were before you were born? Club?" Player: "Indeed, the same one as the father who makes the grass green. Six Iron.":)
  11. Maybe some of these guys just aren't as fanatical about winning as we think they should be. I think my expectations of them are more about me, and my projections on them, than them.
  12. Yep: fantasy, is right: pretty hypocritical, a bunch of lounge lizards, still mad that a black guy kicked their butts for years: he's, still, pretty darned good, Tiger:)
  13. I don't so much dislike Tiger, as find him hard to like: I, definitely, understand frustration. He is what he is: I do better when I don't have expectations.
  14. Thanks for the pin sheets, guys! How cool!
  15. Why not just give a hand, and keep it to yourself? These guys can be so insecure: does everything have to be a urination contest?
  16. Credit, where credit is due.
  17. I like Ben Hogan's book: Five Lessons: he seems to know what he's talking about. Once, at a driving range, I got a chance to talk with an old timer who had, once, shagged balls for balls for Ben Hogan: "Mr. Hogan," he referred to him as, same as Jordan Spieth refers to: "Mr. Crenshaw.":)
  18. Four times as hard, maybe?:)
  19. I think ifJordan pIays his game, and scores a couple of birdies early, he can put the pressure on them, and remind everybody why he's in the lead: nineteen under at the turn would be fun, for a variety of reasons.
  20. Very astute:)
  21. It's a beautiful game; now, may the best man win!
  22. I'm with you about Tiger: he's played really good, and that nine iron out of the trees on Thursday(?) was a fantastic shot: most golfers would be thrilled to hit just one like that: he does it a lot:)
  23. Dustin Johnson is a a Big Bopper, too: he hits the ball about nine miles:)
  24. Jordan reminds me a little of McElroy: he doesn't hit it as far; but, they're, both, so Damned good. Also, both of them have just enough Bull Durham: "You've gotta' play them one day at a time," to keep the reporters at bay. Nantz falls into his script at any opportunity: "...and, now, in a great country such as this, where a small town boy can make good...": Horatio Alger, Roy Firestone's lampooning himself in "Jerry McGuire": "...your brother lost his leg in a tragic bass-fishing accident..." Nantz knows how to flog the corporate sponsors, and, obviously, that's what the telecast is, really, about; but the wires are showing: I'd rather listen to Robert Stack, or Lloyd Bridges do the narration, like they acted in the movie: "Airplane!": at least they had a sense of humor about themselves: Nantz sounds like he's hooked on "The Great Gatsby," by way of prep school
