I’m a pretty lousy golfer, but I ‘do’ enjoy watching good golf, and this afternoon there was some outstanding golf…
It’s called the Masters at Augusta. Now I know Snigs hates it, cause she has to put up with the idjits and assholes, but it’s some of the finest golf played in the USA.
And today was no exception…
Bubba Watson, a character who never met a hook or a slice he didn’t like, hyper, jittery, prone to blow up at the wrong time; hit what can only be called a great shot out of the pine straw 50 feet into the rough on Number 10 and put it on the green, while Louis Oostuizen who had also missed his tee shot came up short from the second cut of rough…
Bubba made the putt and literally broke down in tears, and interestingly enough, was congratulated by a number of the other pros who had stuck around to watch… You don’t often see that anywhere, but Bubba is well liked by all the pros out there for his attitude and upbeat way of dealing with life’s little issues…
He admitted in the interview after the win, he’d never gotten this far even in his dreams, and didn’t even know what to say…
Congrats Bubba, and well done for never giving up!!!

Way to go Kid! I think golf is a fine way to practice your ranging, and it plays at real engagement distances, in pretty nice locations. Of course I’d love to ride the course on a dirtbike, but I recognize the outright cruelty of that and also believe any game that ties Enviroweenies up in hissy-fits can’t be all bad.
LOL, yep, enviroweenies HATE golf courses… sigh…
I was enlisted down at FT Gordon and that town turns crazy for a week. I knew guys who rented out their homes for1- 2K for the week to out-of-towners. . .
Yes, I hate the traffic and as bad as GA needs revenue, I hate all the tourists. Some act like asshats and we’re still supposed to say, “Hi & welcome!”. I will say this year, the traffic seemed a bit better thanks to new roads & such in Disgusta. I only encountered bad back-up at Washington Rd & River Watch Parkway and those were only a couple of miles long. 😉
Oh & Bubba went to UGA, so I feel the need to throw in the obligatory GO DAWGS! 🙂
One of the more exciting finishes.
Hats off to Bubba, well done sir.
Mickelson made a couple of triple bogeys during the tournament.
Welcome to my world, Phil.
I’m not sure about this Bubba thing.
When I first heard about a guy named Bubba from Florida winning the tourney, I got very excited.
Then I checked out his kit…not one piece of duct tape or one dremel tool mark anywhere on his clubs.
He may be an impostor.
i never got the attraction of golf. why ruin a perfectly good walk with a heavy-ass bag of metal sticks? even if you are whacking a little ball with those sticks, you’re still lugging around that heavy-ass bag.
and if you’re in a cart, well, that’s just lazy. 😛
N1- Yep, they go nuts, AND make a bunch of $$…
Snigs- LOL, yep Bubba from UGA did it 🙂
Skip- Concur!
Tim- Yep, he shot himself out of it…
Msgt- I think there’s duct tape ‘somewhere’ in there… 🙂
