I’d like to point you over to Golf Chick for a nice read about how some men seem to forget their manners on the golf course (if they had any to begin with).
I’d like to congratulate Golf Chick for being the first person I’ve ever seen work “penis envy” into a golf blog post. That in itself is an accomplishment, but given this post is by a woman it’s even more impressive.
Before the Skins Game started, Tiger and Annika were giving Fred Funk grief about his lack of length. Talk of wearing skirts was quickly doused on day one when Funk reached the par 5 9th in two with an iron, and sunk a $225,000 putt (a day 1 record for the Skins Game).
Sunday Funk cashed in on the last hole for a total of $925,000. His last birdie put for $550,000 was worth more than $100,000/foot. Drano.
Tiger finished 2nd with $75,000 he won from the first 3 skins. Skin master Fred Couples and Annika Sorenstam were shut out.
Was it inspiring golf? No. The Golf Grouch puts it into words as well as anyone.
Less than 48 hours ago I played golf in shorts and a long sleeve golf shirt…
That’s what it’s like living in my neck of the woods. Time for working on the web sites, putting and swing mechanics indoors, building an indoor putting green, hitting balls into a net in the garage. Anyone out there work for a company that makes golf nets? I need one.
Nickent Pipe Putter: Gimmick or not?
I’ll admit when I first saw the Pipe putter I couldn’t help laughing. “Someone took a mallet putter and put a piece of PVC down the middle of it?” I thought. When I brought it to my regular weekend golf group they laughed too…untill I drained putts like a madman and took all their money.
Tiger is giving Fred Funk some grief about the fact that Annika may be driving it past him this weekend in the Skins Game.
This “hit and giggle” event will have Tiger Woods, Fred Couples (Mr. Skins Game), Fred Funk and Annika Sorenstam.
Predictions?
I’m going to say Freddie wins the most dough, Tiger next, Funk and then Annika.
