Are any of you sick of hearing about Sergio Garcia at Medinah in 1999 and seeing the footage of him running and skipping across the fairway after hitting that tree shot? I am. Enough of the Medinah talk already.
Sergio’s “potential” is huge yes. But as of yet, that potential hasn’t proven anything more than that he’s a better than average tour player and not capable of a major win.
A win this week will do the trick for Sergio, but I’m afraid his mental and putting problems will once again cost him a major victory.
The latest poll is now running! Thanks to a great suggestion from Cal the poll question is:
How far do you live from the nearest course?
Since I just moved (3rd time in the last year for those who are counting) I’m the closest residence to one of my home courses: River Oaks. I’m right on #1 tee and with a Pinseeker 1500 I shot my pad from the cash register in the pro shop at 152 yards.
My answer: ON the course.
The latest HOG poll has closed. The poll question:
Do you, or would you golf with your spouse?
Sometimes -> 13% (19 Votes) 13%
No -> 19% (28 Votes) 19%
Yes -> 68% (98 Votes) 68%
Total Votes: 145
Welcome to my 900th post.
Mid-round update 9:06am MST
I woke up a little late this morning after sleeping of a killer gig last night (I’m a professional rock & roll drummer along with being a golf blogger). First look at the leaderboard has Tiger Woods at -12! Holy cow he shot a course record 65, including an eagle hole-out on a par 4 which I haven’t seen yet (DVR baby). Tiger is 3 ahead of Chris DiMarco who also shot a 65.
The round is still going so we’ll see if anyone else emerges…
