Hmmm... from Trey Birchum:

Clutch Country

I don’t even like soccer and that was cool. A goal in extra minutes to advance to the knockout round. Now that’s clutch.

The major that no one wanted. That’s how it will go down in history. Sorry, Graeme...just the way it winds up. You played well, you played gritty and you didn’t spit the bit when you had the opportunity. There’s a lot to be said for that. Unfortunately, everyone will remember more that the top 5 players in the world all found new and inventive ways to shoot themselves in both feet. Which is really hard to do if you think about it. Americans. We can do anything you can’t. Like shoot 100 in the final round.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine is on the newstands. It’s almost time......

Open letter to a beach: If you are a beach and you do not have A) petroleum products B) red tide C) dead fish or D) dredged up chemical weapons, please call my house. The pro’s summer is rapidly getting shut down. I know I’ve said a lot of things about Nancy Grace and I realize slow drivers, cheapskates and lazy parents are universal. I get it now...this is all about me, isn’t it? You all got together and decided “What’s the one thing that’s gonna hack this guy off? I know...we’ll destroy all the decent beaches in the Southern Hemisphere. That’ll teach him.” So sorry, America. What’s the word I’m looking for....umm....karma?

So I guess I’ll just have to play golf on all my days off. That’s about 20 rounds of golf in the next couple of months. You all hate me now, don’t you? See how it all works? It’s circular...karma gets even, I get to play golf, I get the mojo back, you get mad at my new karma, we send you out on our course, you get happy, karma has been redistributed, and in the meantime my handicap drops four shots...didn’t know you were learning about Eastern Mysticism, did you? Watch out, the guy will just be talking to you about nothing and BAM! right between the eyes. Ninja.

Fairways, greens and one putts.....
