My NEW best friend Bob talked to me in the parking lot after our men’s league yesterday and brought up the idea of me going to The Masters. “If I was interested.”
To say I was interested would have been the understatement of the century. Would the world’s biggest golf addict pass up a chance to see heaven before he dies? I told him he’d be on the Christmas list, the buy him a beer every time I see him list, and the I’ll mow your lawn and pull your weeds list. “Can I get that door for you Bob? Oh, I’ll pick up lunch today Bob! Bob, can I shine up those irons for you? Oh Bob, I’ll rake that trap for you. And Bob, don’t worry about that big divot you made. I’ll fix it for you…”
I told him that thanks to him, I may not sleep FOR A YEAR.
I’ll be saving up my dough so I can buy pimento & cheese sandwiches….oh and perhaps a few HUNDRED Masters souvenirs. And no I won’t be selling them on eBay.
The pundits decisively chose Pam to be victorious over Danielle in the Big Break III final. The pundits were wrong. (I’m not a pundit)
I did pick Danielle to win based on her supposed “experience” and Pam being fairly new to the game. I had figured Pam would make some mental errors and Danielle would walk away with it easy. Pam did hang in there much better than I thought, and she had a way of making clutch shots when she needed to. Pam kept saying she didn’t want to putt aggressively. Hello? When it’s match play and you need to make a putt to halve the hole don’t leave it short!
So now Danielle has a new car, $5000 in spending money at Golf Galaxy and two real exemptions into the LPGA Tour. She also won a spot in a celebrity tourney. I’m going to go on the record and predict that, as pretty as she is she’s not going to make the cut in either LPGA event. She wants it bad enough, but wanting it alone won’t bring her skill set to the level of LPGA pro. I’d love to be proven wrong but that’s my take.
By the way I don’t think $5000 is going to last too long at Golf Galaxy. But at least she can buy a new sand wedge.
The polls on Big Break III are now closed. It’s Pam at 61% and Danielle at 38%. I don’t know where the other 1% went.
Let’s see if the pundits are right.
Christmas has come early for me this year! Here are the goodies Santa (aka Bob Weaver) brought me from Augusta.
One and a half days to go and Pam has taken a lead with 58% of the vote. If you haven’t voted on your pick for the Big Break III finale, the poll is in the lower left column.
