ADT Skills Challenge a Snoozer

December 29, 2008

I was flipping through channels this last weekend and saw about 5 minutes of the ADT Skills Challenge that was won by the Normans (Greg and his son Gregory).  Was this thing really on for two hours?

Oh boy, what a snoozer.  It was like watching someone hitting balls at the driving range.  Sure professional players hit some impressive shots, but that is what they get paid to do. There were so few people on the course (perhaps it was closed to the public), the number of media types, caddies and hangers on probably numbered only about 50 people.

It was kind of charming that the pros were paired with their caddies, but to spend two hours watching aged professionals hit balls is a bit boring to say the least.  Can’t wait until the season gets started again.

Caddie Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

December 15, 2008

Steve Williams is a rich man.  He got that way by carrying the bag for the world’s greatest golfer, ever.  As a result, he’s also probably the world’s richest caddie.  So what does Tiger’s bag man do, he opens his mouth and inserts his foot.  He disses probably the world’s second most popular golfer and calls him an ?$*&.

Why is that necessary?  I’m sure that Phil can be an ?$*& at times.  I’m sure Tiger can be that way too.  Does it make Mr. Williams feel better and will it get him more endorsements?  People call November and December the silly season.  Perhaps because Tiger has been idle for so long, its made Mr. Williams a bit cranky.
