29
Played my 9 hole Tuesday league tonight. What a group I was in today.
Player 1 had no pars and 5 birdies in 9 holes, but shot even par.
Player 2 was in the freaking zone. This guy shot a 29 with two birdie putts missed short and two birdie lip-outs. He was inches away from a 25, inches. His tee shot on the par 4 5th hole hit the freaking flagstick!
My round?… I’d rather not talk about it.
Great minds think alike
My pal the Golf Grouch has a nice piece called The Boredom of the Bridges. It seems he too found what I called The Battle of the Boredom made for TV golf event not ready for prime time.
It seems great minds think alike. 🙂
Today I met Jack Nicklaus
For a golf freak, this is the ultimate. Here is a pic of Jack, me and my boy. I just wish that bonehead security guy wouldn’t have been posing in the background. I’ll have a complete writeup on the whole event soon.
Look out. I touched his clubs. I have the magic!
I’ll be meeting Jack Nicklaus tomorrow
I’ll be meeting Jack Nicklaus tomorrow, hopefully….
I’m going to be attending a two day local golf event hosted by Johnny Miller called the Champion’s Challenge. It is an event where a famous pro plays and has a partner with him. Many do their sons, but some have buddies or famous people like Bill Murray to play with.
This is a fairly casual event and they do autographs and allow pictures Monday. So hopefully I’ll be meeting the following players:
Johnny Miller, Jack Nicklaus, Mike Weir, Jim Furyk, Scott Simpson, Bill Murray, Mike Reid, Keith Clearwater, Ryan Moore, Spencer Levin, Nancy Lopez, Jason Zuback, Hale Irwin, Dave Stockton, Dave Stockton Jr., Craig Stadler, Billy Casper, Kevin Stadler, Hank Kuehne, Gary McCord, Roger Maltbie, Fuzzy Zoeller
Vijay holds off Tiger to win the Buick
Twas an entertaining weekend of golf on the PGA Tour. It was nice to see #1 and #2 duke it out in a shootout. We saw some 29’s, 30’s and 31’s for for 9 holes. Low shootin’ Tex.
Today Vijay came into the round with a 5 shot lead and Tiger made it interesting with an absolutely amazing back nine. After shooting 36 on the front, Tiger put together an amazing stretch of holes on the back to record a 30. That 30 included a bogey on the 18th hole after an errant drive. Speaking of drives, Tiger hit one 359 on flat ground with no wind on #16. What a hack.
The gallery on the par 3 17 went crazy when Tiger made birdie. Tiger had some fun with them, holding his hand up to his ear as if he couldn’t hear them (above picture). Maybe Tiger wasn’t having fun with the gallery at all. Perhaps he thought he heard the Celtic Woman CD playing somewhere?
Oh, and I must mention that I was thrilled to see the return of the Celtic Woman ads. I just get a kick out of these ads and wonder if there are ANY golf fans who rush to the phone to order their Celtic Woman disc.
Another great one was “50 Most Loved Hymns”… Are we hurting for decent sponsors CBS?
