Final Masters Shag Bag #PGA
Simply awesome.
Random thoughts from the week at Augusta National:
...Fred Couples run at 50 years of age was as good as it gets. Yes, Tom Watson had an even closer call last summer at Turnberry, but Couples is so much more engaging tha Watson. Watson is a preachy nut; while Couples is the coolest, hippest 50-year old going. Dude made a run at the Masters wearing slippers and no socks, and clubs off the rack. The only thing missing was the plastic bag filled with Buds hanging from his caddie’s shoulder.
...Anthony Kim may be the next big thing, but dude needs to get going before the final round if he is going to break through. His run through the back nine yesterday was fantastic. Only problem is, it was a day late. One great day isn’t good enough. AK is for real, even if he does wear white belts.
...If there is a creepier, more awkward five seconds of TV than when Jim Nantz comes from around the corner after being summoned by Biilly Payne, I don’t know what the hell it might be. Nantz looks like he just got called into the principal’s office, hands in his lap and everything. Awk-ward!
Brush, floss, repeat.
...Those rich hillbillies who run that show are equal parts awesome and despicable. Awesome in that they answer to no one, run about four minutes of commercials per hour, the best of any major sporting event, and the course itself is more spectacular every year. Despicable in that they act like green jacketed SS members by forcing the media to call the fans patrons, the front and back nines the first and second nines, and every other ridiculous tradition that has no real meaning. I love that you guys can tell everyone to go to hell, but that doesn’t mean you can’t move into the 21st century.
...Lee Westwood, what’s up with your teeth? You are a world class golfer with millions of bucks, let’s say you get those hammered out before the US Open this summer.
Can’t wait for Pebble Beach. Go everyone not named Tiger.

Trav, I couldn't agree more with your observations about the Masters. Your earlier post about strapping Phil Mickelson to a chair and cutting his hair was right on. I thought I was the only one who noticed his feathered locks.
But, I got to call you out for clowning Lee Westwood and his teeth. We all know the Brits place dental care a distant second to drinking at the pub, but you my man shouldn't talk. We saw your teeth on your video podcast, and the bottom row of your chicklets were pretty comprable to Westwood's upper fangs. All I'm saying my man is careful when you point your finger, 'cuz there's always three of your own pointing back at you.

Dennis Conner thinks T-Rodge needs to mix in some Chapstick.
I feel like I can make these observations because I share a similar affliction. We are brothers.
