U.S. Women's Open this week and I like Karrie Webb.
Now
Annika is taking the stance that Michelle
Wie can apologize anytime for her disrespectful behavior. Fascinating. I'm getting the feeling that
Sorenstam may be waiting a long time. At least til
Wie's in her mid-20s.
The
PGA and Champions Tours are both adopting drug-testing policies and I still contend these are not necessary. However, I think it will give some within the sport peace of mind, so hooray for that. I do not believe steroids to be a problem in golf. I do believe them to be a problem in the
WWE, but that's for another time.
Ok, a guy in Florida goes to get his golf ball out of the pond and an alligator latches on to his arm. Terrifying. Probably would have induced a heart attack if it happens to me. Here's the rub, the alligator had one eye. Is there any way this guy is not nicknamed Chubs from now on? (For the uninformed, Chubs was Carl Weathers in "Happy Gilmore" and he lost his hand to a one-eyed gator.) What made me most angry about this story is that I didn't come up with that joke. My friend Matt Lyon nailed it, so kudos to him.
Now as for my friend and colleague Gerard. He sucks. For those whose memory does not span a week, he had me pick a random guy out of the field for last week's Travelers Championship. That guy happened to be Nick
O'Hern. The same Nick
O'Hern who took third place for another point for G. I said a real man doesn't accept that point, but he claimed he was thinking of him before that. I think he's a liar who is devoid of a soul. Jealousy on my part.
