First update in three months, so I better make it a good one.
Gone are the days of picking winners on the PGA Tour because that got to be too much of a hassle. What I intend to do is use this as a short little forum to give quick-hit thoughts on subjects and maybe show you some articles from all over the world. You know, like a blog is supposed to be.
- So let's start with Monty's ascension to European Ryder Cup captain. After a somewhat lengthy column about how it all happened, it has happened.
- Now Monty has reportedly extended Ollie an "olive branch" according to Derek Lawrenson of The Daily Mail. That's a terrible way to start your captaincy.
- Plus, why not just name Olazabal officially the captain of the 2012 team? Thomas Bjorn basically said it was close to happening and Ollie's agent all but confirmed it. There's precedent. The committee named both Ian Woosnam for 2006 and Nick Faldo for 2008 at the same time.
- Golf will be, and already has been, hit hard by the economic woes of the U.S. Now gone is the Ginn company, which sponsored an event on both the LPGA and Champions Tours. The Ginn company also sponsored Cristie Kerr. If Buick can drop Tiger, no one and nothing is immune. According to the Associated Press, the PGA Tour is suing Ginn.
NON GOLF
- If you wanted my Super Bowl pick I like Pittsburgh fairly comfortably. After the Cardinals eliminated my Eagles, I thought Pitt would beat the crap out of Arizona, but I'm off that now. I think Pittsburgh by something like 7 (?) or 10, but in a relatively competitive game.
- My favorite film of the year was "The Wrestler." You don't have to be into professional wrestling to love it. My girlfriend would rather watch bread rise than the WWE, but she liked the film a great deal. Watch it.
