Actually I'm not married so other than regular stuff around the house, I'm a kid again doing all the stuff I did when I was a kid.
I found an age 55+ softball league (I'm 57) and made the team and we have a 28 game schedule plus a couple tournaments at the end. We play Monday and Wednesday mornings and practice on Fridays.
The off days I go to a racquetclub to work out and play racquetball. Plus I bought a road bike and have started biking............
Unfortunately I gave up golf about 10 years ago due to the cost and was seriously thinking of taking it up again this summer had I not found the softball league........
As for your question "Who's the Cylon?" Not sure but Sergio is definitely the whiney illegitimate child of Baltar..........LOL!
Thanks,
Tiger’s a bit of an unpredictable in the first event after surgery, so I’m not betting. Mickleson specializes in screwing up sure things, so I NEVER bet on him. Kim might do well; I liked the younger, exuberant Sergio, but now? Not so much.
Guess I don’t have a favorite.
Hey ALL!~!
Predicting a NEW PERSON will win the Open this weekend...someone very surprising to us all.
WHO?? I’ve not a clue, but I think Tiger and Phil won’t be in the final pairing...just a hunch...
I would LOVE it if Tiger wins, but his knee...???
Thanks Zuben, I’ll be watching the videos very soon. Can’t wait.
I like the USGA set up for Thursday and Friday.
Berman is an insuffereable gasbag. His schtick was cute 25 years ago. Now , his blovating will make it impossible to listen to. (Sigh)
My money is on Justin Rose.
Agreed. ESPN’s golf coverage, in general, is pretty awful. I hope that the Golf Channel can get some coverage of the major championships, sort of how the Tennis Channel (which is in way fewer households than the Golf Channel) gets the Grand Slams.
Is+it+Thursday+yet
They really think Phil is on his game and Tiger only had played 9 holes.
Sergio was wearing Sunday Red, the little prince. Betcha Chris Berman doesn't tease Sergio one little bit.
Tell me the background shot of TGC’s set was pretty cool. Now about the main event. As much success ETW has at Torrey, when the USGA gets to play with the course, forget about it. Throw in not playing for 10 weeks and come Friday night the letters MC will be next to his score of +8. I figure the cut to be around +6.
Unless there is some moisture in the air, those greens will easily run 13, maybe more. If Tiger keeps the ball in the fairway, those greens will demand near perfection. Spend the day in the rough and good luck to all.
So wins this thing. Someone who hits it accurate without necessarily being long. My thoughts lean toward Adam Scott, Padrig Harrington, Andres Romero and Steve Stricker. If Stricks could pull it off, what a perfect ending to a great comeback.
I’ll take Padrig to win with a score around -3.
Due to my continued posting problems in open posting please feel free to throw this into the thread if it isn’t too hard. THANKS!
At the USGA interview last night, they asked Tiger what the winning score and cut would be. He offered neither number. Padrig Harrington seemed very confident and your choice for Stricker is a good one. For me, I'll go with Jim Furyk. Has won before and finished second last year. He's got a sore back, I know, but I've got to favor someone.
That background on TGC is quite good and sometimes it appears like it is swaying. I played Torey Pines back in late fall, the Friday before it was shut down to prepare for the Buick Invitational. Great course and it really looks so different when you play it versus watching on TV.
I'm thinking this is going to be a classic Open. Maybe a surprise winner out of nowhere???
Watching now at the library. Those greens are wicked fast as Els and Rose 2 putt from close in.
It seems so surreal to watch the U.S. Open at a course I have played many times.
That had to be a lot of fun to do. So now I know 2 people who have taken the tour of TP.
