Mikee

I have started hitting my driver on the heal of the club face and shanking my irons...what's up?

Not those, they put up a different venue, only birdie, pars, eagle , etc

Hi guys, long time not on the forum but things have been a changin in my life. I need some immediate help. Where on the internet can I find the finals statistics for each player, what I mean is , Driving Distance, Driving Accuracy, Greens in Regulation, Number of Putts. These are not found on pgatour.com They usually have these but for the PGA, they went with another venue. Please let me know.

Just serve up my words with a little salt, pepper and some tabasco and I´ll start eating them right away. I have a gaming website but I don´t gamble for that simple reason. I lose. The only thing I´ll gamble on is my golf, I have some control over that. Except for a hook, you can talk to a fade but a hook just won´t listen.

Well, it’s a sad day to see Funky go over to the Seniors. That means we’re all getting up there. He’ll do good, in fact he’s favored to win the Ford Players Championship this week. I used to put Funky in a lot of my action, but no more. He should dominate the Seniors for a while. A lot of people putting there $$ on Ryan Moore and Zach J. at the John Deere. I like Billy Mayfair. He’s starting to look at the Seniors also, not much time to win on the tour. Michelle Wie is -360 to NOT make the cut. I’d go against that just see her make it. Always go opposite of what I pick and you will become a millionaire overnight. Rousch Racing is strongly looking at Danica. She’s a heck of a driver but needs good equipment and Letterman isn’t giving it to her. It’s the same in Formula 1, “he who has the gold rules”. Golf is different, you can have all the money in the world, doesn’t help your game. Golf is the best game in the world,…………. it’s just you and ball. Have you ever had such a bad golf game that on the last hole you told your caddy you’re going to jump in the lake and drown yourself and he comes back with, “you can’t keep you head down long enough”.

Always keep in mind that "it's not how you drive but how you arrive", just ask Mick........or Monty

Regarding Tiger at the Cialis Western Open………………. Well, anybody got any salt, pepper and Tabasco and I’ll start eating my words. At least I’ll make them edible. Tiger did well, and he will probably do well at the Open. This week we’ve got the John Deere Classic with Michelle Wie vying for a position. Will she make the cut? Odds are she doesn’t but sentiments are on her side. Since you all know I like Notah, I’ll put up Notah against Wie in driving distance and give Wie 10.5 yards. If Wie makes the cut, I like her chances of ending up in the top 50. Another woman making news is Danica Patrick, thinking of going over to the NASCAR side of racing. Hmmmm, ain’t been a women in the Cup Series yet. The good ol boys ain’t gonna like this….

What do you guys think of a match up in driving distance between Camilo and John Daly at the Cialis Western Open and Camilo spots John a yard and half. Has anybody read John's book "My Life In and Out of the Rough". It's an excellent book about John told by John just as if you were there in the room talking with him. I suggest it for anybody that likes Johnny D. John has lived 20years of life in 10 years. I can't believe some of the stuff he's gone thru and still remains competitive, (if he's sinking 3 footers) .

I have an Arnold Palmer Signature putter, 1964, by Wilson. Is worth anything?

You ain't seen nothing yet I live down here in Costa Rica. I came here 7 years ago for a short vacation before completing some work in the US. After being here a week and seeing what I saw.....I Stayed....case closed And I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'll post some pics of shelley's friends, they're even better looking than Shelley. This place is unbelievable Let me ask you this, if you walked into a restuarant with a 21 year old drop dead gorious girl, in the States, what would happen. You'd be locked up in a heart beat if you were over 55 years old.........or, they might think it's your granddaughter,,,,,,until you started kissing her..... , that's when they'd call the cops And talk about attitude. Totally different than the US. Here, now I dont' want to get risque, but as you know in the US, when you take a girl out, you always "wonder" if you're going to "score". Here, there's no wondering, if you don't "score", word gets around that you are cold and unloving. The girls here won't go out with you again......this is true as I know true to be. Thank God for Viagra

A slight cut, huh. Always keep one thing in mind, "you can talk to a fade, but a hook just won't listen!"

When I was in Korea, the Pueblo was just taken....... (For those of you who might remember the Pueblo, it was a definate set up by the U.S. Government, my onsite opinion) Korea didn't even know what a golf club was at that time. I was stationed in Japan and they were just starting to get into golf. I played all thru Pacaf and believe me, the Koreans and Japanese DEDICATE themselves to whatever they attempt. I have great respect for the Asian people after living there for 3 years. When I put up my LPGA props, I have a hello of a time spelling their names and when I do, I always think of the first tee of the tournament and the announcer. He must go nuts announcing them. I'll tell you one thing, they are not all that bad looking and I have noticed over the years that their "bustline" has gotten bigger. Must be the american food they're eating over here because fish and rice don't do it. (if only my high school english teacher could hear me now ) I've been to many an LPGA tourny and they hit the ball as far as the average PGA tour pro. More accurate too. A lot of the Korean women started out in another sport like softball and then when they saw the money they can make here, bingo I've seen a lot of them up close and trust me, I'd take any one of them 2 out of 3 falls.

We will see what happens. I can't put up any more stats. But I abide by their rules. Some guys asked me a while ago about coming to Costa Rica. My new wife, yes I married a local girl down here and am very happy with her, is a travel agent. I can get you guys some good deals and we can play golf to our hearts content. Also, in 3 weeks, I'm going down to Panama to play the Royal golf club. It looks really good and I'll give you guys a report. It's an all inclusive trip. Golf, dinner and drinks galore. If the course is up to my standards, we all could play here and there

And now Driving Accuracy: Verplank vs Browne -140 Pavin vs Mayfair -120 Kelly vs Perry -125 Wetterich vs Calc -125 Faxon vs Andrade -120 Garrigus vs Ridings -140 Holmes vs Watson -130

I'm new here to this forum also and I've been on a lot of sports forums but this one is really good. I've played a couple of courses in Minnesota (my late wife being from Iowa and we used to go to Minnesota for summer vacations) but your "State Bird" got in the way of the flight of the ball a lot.

Here's what I come up with for Driving Distance Matchups, handicapped by yards (-6.5 = yards). The top player is always giving up the yards. Watson vs Holmes -6.5 -120 Garrigus vs Ridings -2.5 -120 Wetterich vs Gore -9.5 -120 Cink vs Perry -1.5 -120 Mayfair vs Andrade -1.5 -120 Calcavecchia vs Kelly -5.5 -120 Browne vs Verplank -2.5 -120 Faxon vs Pavin -2.5 -120

I got my info from Tiger's website. He doesn't mention playing any tourneys except for the B.O. between now and then.

But of course , I will take good care of you guys. You will all have caddies just like Shelley, if not better. That 's one of reasons I stayed down here in Costa Rica. I came down here on a short vacation and stayed. What made me stay, well, let's just say the caddies. All the ladies down here are , and have a totally different attitude than up in the States. I guarantee you guys a very good time. Golf will be secondary, trust me. The courses here are cheap, 18 holes with a cart for $40 and it's a first class course. Got to play in the mornings because in the afternoons it rains like a SOB.....but in the afternoons you'll be tied up anyway Don't need to bring your Viagra, it's cheap down here and plentiful. I'm going to put up some props for the Buick, anyone interested let me know via email or msn. (msn = mikee2all@yahoo.com ) but my yahoo account isn't active. You can write to me via letmikee@gmail.com

Good gracious, I didn't think I'd stir up that much emotion Tiger is not playing in either next week's Buick Championship, Cialis Western Open or the John Deere classic and those are the only ones up to the British Open. Unless he goes over the "pond" a week before the tourney, I'll stand pat. It's a tough course and the traps are, well, and Tiger's ball somehow finds em. Don't get me wrong, guys, I think Tiger Woods is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, golfer we will see in our lifetime,,,,(at least mine) I just feel the concentration isn't there right at this time. But we'll see, I hope he does.....I'm thinking -130 on the "No".

Nope, I´m not joking, she´s my stepdaughter for sure. Her name is Shelley and she´s 21 years old. She works for me sometimes in my sportsbook. She´s gorgious but I must confess, she´s dumb as a post. She´s model down here in CR when not working for me. Just to show you her I.Q. (which she can´t spell), the door to our house has 2 keys, color coded. One is for the metal "porton" (iron security gate" that´s right in front of the wooden door and other is for the wood door. In a year we´ve lived there, she´s probably got it right 3 times, which key goes to which door (and those were only by luck). We rented the movie ¨"March of the Penguins" and I explained to her that Penguins are only found in the South Pole. I asked her in the same breath if she knew where the South Pole was and she said it was somewhere near Alaska I´ve lived with this girl for 5 years and I have enough stories to fill a book. But she has friends and I´ll post them soon. She´d make a good trophy on someone´s arm, just don´t ask her to open her mouth. (I know what you´re thinking ) Let´s get something together for the Buick Championship. I´ll put up a contest Monday if you all want.

After what I saw Tiger do in the Open, I think he's done for the year. The passing of his dad is more than he can take and it's going to take a long time to recover. I had a prop on Tiger to make the cut, nobody took the "NO". A lot of players said, "what??? Tiger not make the cut, come on" he, in all his previous outings, had his dad with him. I don't think he'll make the cut in the British The mental part of golf is of utmost importance and right now he's in a mental slump and it's a big one. If he pulls himself up from his boot straps and get's it back together for the British, then he's one hellofa strong individual. and I take my golf cap off to him.

Now this is a caddy Attachment 221 by the way, this is my stepdaughter, no joke......

If he's young and doesn't have the experience, buy yourself an old fashioned wind type watch and everytime he gets up to tee off, start winding your watch and just before he starts to swing,,,,stop winding your watch.

Until They Play Golf..... I'm Mikee and play to a 4. I've been playing since 7years old and I'm a Viet Nam Vet (that dates me). I live down here in beautiful Costa Rica. I teach golf down here to the Ticos, they are getting the hang of Golf, so it's just not the tourists that are playing down here now. I'm in the sportsbook business, this is not an advertisement, it just so happens that's what I do down here since it's legal and governed by the Costa Rican government. I won't disclose my website unless given authorization. But, I specialize in Golf Props on every tournament. I also specialize in NASCAR props. I put up over 30 golf props and 60 nascar props. I'm originally from Santa Barbara California and was a memeber at Monticito CC. But I moved down here to CR to live a little cheaper. (and the ladies down here are out of this world gorgious.) Always feel free to ask any questions about this beautiful country.
