In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

Silence!...or Violence....

It was just a couple weeks ago that we heard about pro golfer Tripp Isenhour losing it and killing an endangered red-shouldered hawk because it was making noise on the golf course.

Now, I don't play golf...I've always wanted to. 

I think I'd be great at it.

I don't much like watching golf though. 

I don't like all of the whispering.

Give me a break.

If you can't play a sport with a little noise going on in the background, then there's something wrong.







Maybe it's because of all of the money involved for these pro golfers.

Anyway, Tiger Woods seems to like the quiet.

But he didn't do so well on the 9th hole on Sunday. 

He finished his swing with just one hand on the club.

And he wasn't very happy about it.

It seems someone snapped a photo of Tiger as he swung the club.

Oh, oh.....not a very good thing to do....


Jackass!” [Woods] yelled as he dropped a hand off his follow-through and that usually effortless, smooth swing suddenly seized and turned into something ugly.

Woods had some choice words for the photographers who were shadowing him as he walked from the ninth green to the 10th tee. ''The next time a photographer shoots an [expletive] picture,'' Woods warned, ``I'm going to break his [expletive] neck.''


Well, if those are the rules, then I could see why he would be upset.

But geez, get a grip, (literally) Tiger.

Because the way things have been going....

You just may lose it and end up breaking someone's [expletive] neck next time.

As I read this, dozens of 18, 19, and 20-year olds are engaged in fierce, athletic competiton in a real body contact sport with thousands of people in arenas yelling and screaming while they play.

Tiger's great, don't get me wrong.

But golfers are prima donnas.

Give me the NCAA and these hard-nosed, all-out agressive kids anyday.

I totally agree with you, Kevin.  And while I still would like to learn to golf...I'd like to learn the Caddyshack way of doing it!

"...a real body contact sport"?  Basketball?  

Try Rugby.

You play, Josh?  My oldest brother played years ago.  Ruined his knees, if I recall.

I played in Europe for about 6 months or so when it wasn't a big deal to walk around with a black eye, cuts, scrapes and bruises.  Kind of difficult to walk into work on a Monday morning looking that way, which is why I didn't keep up with it.  Gives you a different perspective on what we call "contact sports" these days though.
