Random thoughts: Finally saw the sun!
Turning into a crusty old man.....
At what point did professional golfers start dressing like pimps? I missed a memo somewhere. If TV is not lying to me, I am now supposed to show up for work in a painters cap, a shirt made of gauze and spandex and pants that let you know what religion I am. Let me tell all of you something that a few of you already know. You do not want to see that.
I’ve never been inside the ropes of a PGA Tour event. Never that good. So I ask a question out of ignorance; maybe one of you can answer. Do all the cameras at tour events have bright red lights to let you know they’re on? I ask because I can’t figure out how Camilo manages to always look into the camera before he does his Zoolander catwalk Zen Master putting line-up. Trying to prove you should have been a gymnast is one thing. Looking into the camera, pursing your lips and kissing your biceps before you take off the driver head cover is another. I was looking for a golf tournament and found a WWE mixer instead.
We finally saw the sun. And it was good. I know I say it a lot, but I’ve never lied to you. This golf course looks absolutely beautiful and the greens are the best in the area. Where else are you going to find a great golf course, no homes, no roads, no cars...just golf. Ask anyone who’s been out lately. They’ll vouch for me.
Fairways, greens and one putts.....
