Perry wins, Vijay regains #1, Daly hackfest

Vijay Singh surged on the back 9 and caught up to Kenny Perry on the 18th hole at -12. Singh misjudged the wind and knocked his approach shot in the drink. Perry safely knocked his approach shot onto the green and two putted to win at Bay Hill.

Though Vijay didn’t win, he still regained the #1 world ranking due to Tiger’s mediocre finish.

The battle between Perry and Singh was nearly as entertaining as watching John Daly on 18. John was at even par on 18 (he played the back first) when he knocked his approach shot in the rocks. Instead of taking a drop, he took several whacks at his ball but only managed to catch rock. He scored an 11 on that hole and dropped himself to last place.


My Utes go to the sweet 16!

Under the non golf related category I’d like to congratulate MY University of Utah Utes for making it to the sweet 16. Unfortunately we are meeting Kentucky next. Kentucky is the team we were leading by 15 at halftime in the national championship game in 1998, only to lose the game. Kentucky has knocked us out two other times since then.

I hate Kentucky. I hope my Utes can be victorious this time. Go UTES!


90

No I didn’t shoot a 90 today.

90 is the number of consecutive holes I’ve played with the prototype Maxfli BlackMax golf ball. Though I’ve almost worn all the lettering off the ball, the cover is still in great shape. The ball is still very playable. This ball is SO durable.

This is now turning into a challenge to see how many holes I can go. I’m going to keep playing this same ball until I either lose it or deem in unfit for play.

I play in a tournament tomorrow so I’m hopefully going to get my total up to 108.


Watch your mouth Freddy!

You gotta love TIVO. I hardly ever watch anything live anymore.

I’m watching Freddy Couples off to the right of the 16th green at Bay Hill. He took a free drop away from the cart path. When he dropped his ball, it nestled way down into the rough. A fan must have laughed about it and ticked old Freddy off. Freddy said “yeah, that’s pretty f’ing funny isn’t it?” The announcers had to apologize for his comments.

Freddy then proceeded to hit his bad lie over the green and into the lake. He ended up getting a 7 on that par 5.

That reminds me of another F bomb he dropped a few years ago. I can’t remember the tournament but it was on a 2nd or 3rd playoff hole. He knocked his shot into the lake and said “God damn it I hate this f’ing game.” The announcer then said “Mr. Couples has expressed his displeasure with the previous shot.” Yeah, displeasure.


Arnie’s Umbrella! and Adios Jan

Isn’t it ironic that Arnie’s logo is the umbrella and his tournament at Bay Hill was rained out today?

Oh, and the Big Break III (crotch shots only) I mean Ladies Only: My favorite player Jan has “gone home.” Someone is going home. Someone is going home. They can’t hit a green with about 20 attempts. Ok, I may be exaggerating a little. Blame the wind… Someone’s going home.
