I didn't mean anyone here. I see it could be taken that way when I quote someone.

I see people on Twitter and FB laughing and making jokes. That's all

 

Here you go.

This Tiger stuff is sad. He was hopped up on painkillers so either his back which he said felt great, doesn't. Or he has a problem with the pills. He has done some bad stuff, but haven't we all?

I just wish him the best. The twitter people who get a kick out of this are pretty disgusting. I hope it was just some innocent mix up, but I have a feeling it is a little worse than that.

Tiger has displayed zero forgiveness for people who he feels have slighted him through the years. Tiger has displayed the somewhat common arrogance that all top athletes tend to have. Tiger has crafted an image for advertising endorsements. What he has created and done is now coming down around him - again.

 

I do believe many of the attacks will ease up now that the results of the tests came back that he wasn't drinking. No need to when you go right to the opioids.

I found it interesting that he blamed prescription meds vs. alcohol. Is it really any better? He's been on those drugs for nearly 10 years now. He should know better. And what drives me nuts about these morons is, call a f***ing uber. You're tiger woods. You could get anyone in the world to drive you home. But I guess that's part of the sad story here - despite being Tiger Woods, he doesn't have anyone.

I actually dont think he had the mental faculties to make that decision. He seemed really out of it, like he didnt really understand how he got there. Maybe a mix of painkillers and sleeping pills.

It also seems like he may not have been coming from a club or something. He may have just hopped in his car at home and went for a ride.

Illinois advances to the Final Four of golf for the 4th time in 5 years. Amazing for a school that can't play golf for 6 months out of the year.

 

They have one of the finest indoor facilities in the world. Also, they travel to sunny climates for extended tournament trips. We get a lot of college programs coming through TPC and LaCanterra in San Antonio (plus some of our lesser facilities) each winter.

A close relative of mine had an Ambien experience that was scary. She basically woke up behind a firetruck with firemen pounding on her window. Zero alcohol was involved. She remembers taking the Ambien then getting into bed. Somehow she got dressed and went for a drive. She was heading towards work, but it may have been a coincidence. The fire fighters saw her drive up and stop. They called me when she said she had been talking to me, we hadn't been talking. They were kind enough to drive her car back home, about a mile of so.

The course is extremely long but you need more than that with these guys. Justin Thomas weighs 145 pounds and made the green with 2 3 woods on 18. It's 676 yards.

Yep.

 

Need some wind.

Sometimes it is the basics that really get you. I was 12 or 13 over on the front while playing with a few of my varsity guys. We make the turn and I was contemplating excuses to get out of there. A double bogey on ten didn't help my mood. I hit a thin drive that somehow found the fairway on 11. As I was lining up to hit an 8 iron I was a little exasperated and lifted the club and dropped it back down with a little force. I look down and realized I was about three inches inside of where I was set up. I moved closer to the ball, pured my first iron of the day and shot even on the back. Two birdies and six pars to go with the double on 10. Somehow I moved my ball position three inches out. Simple check I should have made a couple hours earlier when I started mis***ting so many shots thin and to the right.

 

It was a good lesson for the team.

And Brooks said f*** the wind. Don't think Erin Hills is getting another US Open anytime soon

If the conditions would have been that way all week, it would have been much more exciting.

 

That being said, Brooks is a good guy. I've bet on him a few times to win majors, just not this one unfortunately.

 

Still waiting on Ricky to put it all together...

 

Excited for the Open Championship now!

Brooks at 45/1 was a nice win for me.

 

Would really love for Rickie to finally win a big one. Just can't do it on Sundays.

It's a good thing this site has a vulgarity filter. I can't believe they let you coach kids with a mouth like this. You think you're Bobby Knight or something?

Seriously it is a challenge sometimes. The mom of one of my players drops f bombs after bad shots by her daughter. She asked how I manage not to. I laughed and told her it was tough. She told me to just whisper them. Her grandpa follows the Bob Knight tradition. We good coach - bad coach her all the time. lol I'm glad I can be the kumbaya singing coach.
