In the image below you can barely pick out Tiger Woods wearing black. He’s the one person in the little open circle, just barely right of center.

On the 10th hole here Tiger blocked his tee shot right and lost the ball in the deep rough. Despite having a couple of hundred extra sets of eyes looking for his ball all they found was a couple of Top Flites. As I always say, you should play Top Flites because you can never lose them.

Tiger had to play his provisional ball en route to a double bogey which put him one shot over the current projected cut line.

Tiger’s ball on #10 isn’t the only thing he’s missing. It seems his swing didn’t make the trip across the pond.

If Tiger doesn’t finish the round with a birdie or two from this point, he’ll be flying home early.

Great weather in Scotland

We have a saying in my group of golf buddies when it is cold, windy and rainy.

“This would be great weather in Scotland.”

The rain has hit. The players are playing in rain gear. Which ones are the best mudders? Currently Steve Marino is on top at -5.

Yesterday’s leader Jimenez is in the house already at -3, dropping three shots. Tom Watson has also dropped three shots so far and is on the 11th hole. He still looks good.

The other “TW,” Tiger Woods, is still at +1 and not doing much of anything.

I’ve been looking at Lee Westwood’s swing trying to figure out what it looks like. Then it dawned on me. It is exactly the same as Natalie Gulbis’ swing. He has that same strange dip just following impact.

Tom Watson & Tiger Woods, which one shoots 65 and which one shoots 71 today?

Wow I almost spilled my coffee, then I got goose bumps. Tom Watson shot a 65 today in the first round of the British (sorry I’m American) Open. Tiger Woods? 71. Wow.

I need to refill my coffee now.. then I’m off to play golf. My DVR is working and I’ll try to watch the rest of the round this afternoon.

Facebook hits 250,000,000 members, Janet’s kids farts smell like french dip sandwiches, and I joined the “water” fan club.

Big news! Facebook has reached a quarter billion members! Read this news article for details.

What they fail to mention are other milestones and resources of facebook.

Stupid facebook applications

Facebook now has 230 gabillion stupid ass applications to waste yours and your friends’ lives away, like figuring out what flavor of pizza you are, or if you were a flower what kind you’d be. How about having your friends fill out a poll to see what sit com comedian you’re most like? That’s a good one. I’m sure it would tell me I’m most like George Lopez and my music-a-like would be Kenny G. I had so much fun wasting my life away rating the different hair styles of Sarah Palin. Good times.

The all time best facebook applications have to be the “herpes wave,” “which serial killer am I?” and of course the popular “did we have sex?” one. Now you can pass on virtual herpes to your lovers with a simple mouse click.

Worthless fan pages

Facebook also now has reached 764 bagillion worthless fan pages. Join the rage and become a fan of all sorts of stupid things: Water, sunshine, summer, air, chocolate chip cookies, yelling at inanimate objects, lame bands, bad golf web sites. It is all there. I just joined the “water” fan club!

To prove a point I started a page for the clipping of my pinkie fingernail, which now has a fan club and tour dates booked.

Virtual causes

Oh how about joining a virtual cause to save the planet so you can feel good about yourself? Forget actually doing something. Joining a virtual cause is good enough isn’t it? You can impress all your stupid facebook friends by showing them you joined a virtual cause which does nothing. Forget the fact that you’re making facebook and its subsequent impact on the environment and carbon emissions even worse… Gag me.

Janet’s kids’ farts

Perhaps the most beautiful part of facebook is keeping track of old high school classmates I haven’t seen in 25 years. I just love the fact that “Janet” shared with a 384 of her closest friends that her son’s farts “smell like french dip sandwiches.” Lovely.
