Having a rich generous uncle doesn’t suck
My rich uncle couldn’t use his Utah Jazz tickets a couple of nights ago. The Jazz were at home playing the Los Angeles Clippers (they won 102-98). I was happy to do my uncle a favor and take his place so the tickets managed to be used. It really sucked. He’s a VIP and pays major bucks for those tickets. The two seats are courtside, on the center line, 2nd row. $400 a seat. A little math (41 home games plus preseason), and you start to realize a pair season tickets in these seats are around $40K. Chump change.
Sitting in these VIP seats has some great advantages
1. You can smell the perfume of the cheerleaders and personally note weather each one has in “inney” or an “outey.”
2. You can smell the players’ BO.
2.5. You can try to read what the players’ tattoos say.
3. You can hear the players and coaches swearing at the refs.
4. Munch on free dinner before the game!
5. Free parking.
6. But perhaps the best advantate is the FREE BEER before the game and at half time. This is a major plus. That’s why the courside seats always seem to fill in late in the beginning of the game and at half time: free beer.
I’ve sat in these seats a bunch of times and every time it amazes me the size and beef level of these players. Not only are these players giant and musclebound, they run like deer and can jump insanely high. Golfers are not athletes compared to NBA players, no way.
The real reason Tiger Woods is skipping PGA Tour season opener
It’s official. Tiger is once again skipping the PGA Tour season opening Mercedes Championship. I posted about this a week or so earlier.
The real reason he’s bailing on the Mercedes
From my post last week:
The real reason he’s probably going to bail on the Mercedes is he knows he has NO chance of winning. In fact nobody other than Stuart Appleby has a chance. They should just give Appleby the check and the trophy right now and forget playing the tournament.
Ochoa wins AP female athlete of the year
Wow I guess maybe golfers really are athletes. Otherwise they wouldn’t win both the AP’s male AND female athlete of the year?
Tiger Woods is the AP male athlete of the year, Lorena Ochoa is the AP female athlete of the year. Full story here.
Do you understand how the new PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup works? :: POLL
The latest Hooked On Golf Blog poll has been posted! VOTE NOW!
The question: Do you understand how the FedEx Cup works?
Has the PGA Tour and/or the media explained it clearly enough for you?
The pundits have spoken
The latest Hooked On Golf Blog poll has closed and the results have been counted (except the votes from Florida). I’m “toying” with the idea of modifying the page format slightly, perhaps adding a column or widening the columns to take advantage of the horizontal space more. The poll asked if users have certain screen resolutions. According to the results, there is a little more room horizontally that I can add to the site without causing too many users to scroll.
