I could spend an hour or two regurgitating the same golf news a thousand other golf sites are reporting right now. But I won’t. Though I will cover the latest in the golf world, I don’t want to be strictly a “news” outlet. You can get that anywhere. I’ll blend the latest with my take, if I have one. If I don’t post on the LPGA or Nationwide, it’s because I just plain don’t have a take.
So here’s my quick take on the St. Jude Classic 05:
Nobody will catch Justin this time. If they do, it will be the worst meltdown on the PGA Tour since the 60’s.
They’re catching on everywhere. The US Open will be blogging this year.
US OPEN BLOG
We’ll have to see if these bandwagon jumpers do a decent job.
I check all the golf blogs and sites I know each day. There are a couple I really like. My two favorite golf blogs right now are Jamboy and Saguaro Open.
My golf surfing somehow ended up at the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews last night. Strange how you can end up at certain places.
I saw some interesting nuggets there. First I read the HUGE list of illegal drivers. Most seem to be Japanese models. Pick up an illegal Japanese version of your favorite driver and blow your drives past your friends…
Then I took the rules quiz. These rules quizzes are tough! I found myself just trying to make an educated guess on some of them. I eeked out 4 out of 10 for my first quiz, on the “medium” setting. Smokin’.
The last and perhaps most interesting nugget is courtesy of my pal Bogeyman over at Bogey Lounge. There’s an article floating around in cybergolfspace showing Danielle Aimee of the Big Break III topless and in a G-string. (She does have her clubs with her). There’s something odd about the pic so I’m guessing it’s a photoshop job. Seems odd to me that she would be posing topless for a photo opp, but not have her usual “level” of makeup. Some of the shadows don’t quite look right either. But if it is real, she has a bodacious set of…..clubs. VA VA VOOM.
Justin Leonard has a 5 stoke lead now after round 2 of the St. Jude Classic. (62, 65) He’s just cruising along spanking the field right now. I don’t see any major changes there. He’ll have to melt down or someone will have to shoot pretty low to catch him over the weekend.
Every last piece of his gear has a Nike swoosh on it. That swoosh on the back of his putter couldn’t be any bigger.
Justin Leonard dropped a 62 today at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. He’s averaging 294.0 with the driver which is good enough for T83. Yup…Justin is one of the short hitters.
Speaking of short hitters, John Daly appears to have a case of “golfer’s elbow.” After doing a ton of work on my basement last year I had a case of “tennis elbow” AND “golfer’s elbow” at the same time. The difference? The pain is on top of the elbow with tennis elbow. The pain is under the elbow when you have golfer’s elbow.
I was at the point last year where I couldn’t reach up to touch my nose. I couldn’t lift a glass of water or gallon of milk. It took an entire year before all the pain went away. The strange thing with this ailment is that taking time off doesn’t really seem to help. I took an entire month off from golfing, and within one driver strike the pain was back.
I still get small flareups, especially if I hit harder balls. I have to hit softer balls (like V1’s).
JD is my buddy and I hope he doesn’t have tennis or golfer’s elbow. It is no fun at all.
