I’m watching the first round of the Players Championship at the famous TPC Sawgrass Stadium course today. I’m half in and out of golf consciousness when I thought I saw a golfer wearing a little lady’s black backpack with thin straps. You know, the kind you see in a New York department store or something.
The player was Francesco Molinari and I swear it looked like he was wearing a backpack. We’ll call this shirt the “Nike Backpack Shirt.”
Some of today’s shirt designs are cool. Some work. This one? Not so much.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
And a very happy birthday to my long time friend and bass player Johnny.
Steve Mata, a former Titleist rep, had a set of Tiger Woods’ irons on ebay. They were allegedly the ones Woods used when he won all four majors in a row. Those irons were for sale at $250,000.
I was just about to click “buy it now” and PayPal Mr. Mata the $250k but then I heard that Tiger made a statement about the irons:
“He may have my set of irons, but they’re not from those tournaments. They’re in my garage.” ~Tiger Woods
