    If he blows off Bay Hill, Arnie's gonna be fucking pissed.
    I don't see him playing again until the Masters...

    And if his Achilles is fucked up, Augusta National is not the
    flattest piece of real estate. He can't compete on it with one
    leg like at Torrey.

    I would like to see him ditch Sean Foley. TW's full swing as welll
    as his putting stroke are a mess. I've seen TW gag more
    six footers in the last couple of months than I have watching
    his entire career. I also think that 62 he fired at the Honda was the
    Golf Gods smiling on him one particular day.

    That being said, I hope he can get it together. I absolutely love
    having a coffee table full of snacks and drinks on a Sunday afternoon
    watcjing him destroy a field.

    Judging by the occasional commentary offered by both Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, the older guys are already pretty much disappointed with Tiger. The whole "I only play majors" thing disgruntled not only them, but just about everybody else out there, guys who were grinding it out week to week to pay off their condos. Yeah, Woods was a terrific spectacle to witness in his prime, but let's face it: As a human being, he was somewhat, if not far less than perfect. OK, I'm no better when it comes to morality or judgement, but by the same token, I'm not going through life making a living in the public eye by flaunting my greatness of skill while thumbing my nose to those with lesser abilities. And don't get me started on his sham-marriage. Why even bother getting engaged if you plan on continually banging anything and everything that catches your eye, let alone smiles at you?

    Seriously folks, the guy is a walking shithead, and no amount of talent is going to change that.

    The thing is ash, a bit of humility goes a very long way. Take for instance your fellow countryman Craig Parry. This is a guy that was so hungover on an opening Thursday at Doral a few years ago, he overslept and just about missed his tee time. He splashed some water on his face, hastily got dressed in the first clothes he could find in his bag, paid some kid to get a golf cart, then drive him to the first hole. He not only hung around for the cut, but went on to win the tournament with one of the most remarkable final shots ever seen. There wasn't a person watching that didn't instantly feel for the guy, let alone becoming a fan of him in the process.

    Dude, sounds like my problem. I either need to start
    leaving myself with shorter putts, or I need to drop a long
    one once in a while. I think it's my bifocals. Couldn't read a green
    to save my life last year after I started wearing them.
    Started a new job in Jan. Five more weeks until they turn on the
    insurance and I can get a decent eye exam. Then I'll
    find something else to blame for my putting woes.

    Whisper Creek Sunday morning! I'll be the tall guy
    with the Ping cap on. First time out this season.
    While Mrs. Whorehey and the little Whoreheys are
    sitting in a pew, I'll be chasing Titleists with my buddies!

    Gave my Pings a much needed bath today, grips and heads. Cleaned out my bag. Found a fresh pack of Marlboros, a bottle of orange Mountain Dew, and a Vicodin.
    Ditched two scuzzy-ass gloves and replaced them with new ones. Washed towels. Stocked up on pegs and ammo. Threw a couple Montecristos in the bag.
    Ready to rock tomorow morning!

    Sorry to hear it FW. No worries, I took enough swipes at
    it for both of us. My hetero life-mate shot 81, so he
    wasn't as much of an insufferable prick today.

    All in all a good day. I had nothing out there, though.
    62 hours this week standing in front of a machine.
    Up at 3 AM with a sick dog, then got a tap on the shoulder
    from Mrs. Whorehey

    The Masters is next week. Who do you like and why?

    Personally I'd like to see Rory get another shot at it.
    I almost felt sorry for the kid watching him fall apart
    last year.

    i'll have to go local, jason day or adam scott. god i love this time of year!!!

    our greens just got cored seeded and sanded, lots of people whining about it. i just remind them how spectacularly good they'll be in 6 weeks or so.

    i played at a party on the w/end, our head greenkeeper was there and we had a good laugh about it.

    Congrats to Paddy Harrington and Johnathan Byrd
    for winning the rain-shortened Par-3 Contest. And ensuring
    they will NOT be slipping a Green Jacket on this Sunday
    evening.

    Yes Ash my friend, this is an awesome time of year.
    Each of us in my regular foursome host a party during The Masters.
    Playing on Saturday morning. I'm hosting on Sunday. Catering by
    Portillo's. Beef sandwiches and salads. Mrs. Whorehey and the
    little Whoreheys going to her mum's for Mass and Easter Brunch.

    I asked Mrs. Whorehey to consider lifting the drinking ban...
    We'll see what happens. Sam Adams and Jack Daniels, or Mountain Dew
    and Norco. Either way I win!!!

    The telecast has been on for five minutes now and I wish Mike Torico would just go ahead and fellate Tiger Woods and get it over with. He managed to get out four words ("At The Masters and.....") before he started blurting out Tiger's name over and over. I really wish he would double about seven holes in a row, starting now.

    You nailed it, as the same thought was occurring to me. Hell, anyone could win this tournament, but Tirico would lead with Tiger coming in tied for sixth.

    Man, the rainy conditions yesterday really softened up the greens. The leaders are carpet bombing the hell out of them, and I've never seen so many highlights in an opening round clips package before.

    It's ok, Tiger is on the last hole now, maybe he will play it like Henrik Stensen did (Yikes!), the rest of the day will be relatively Tiger-free once they show his interview, his press conference, the highlights of his shower (maybe with Tirico), him getting in his car and of course following his car with a helicopter until he loses them, all while there is still golf being played by the best golfers in the world.

    Man, the scoring sure took off in the later rounds. Thankfully, this moved Woods off the front page of the leader board and dropped him into a tie for 30th.

    Ya know who is killing me? Bubba Watson. Every time he swings that stupid looking orange driver, it's an adventure and you never know where the hell the ball is going.

    Nah, the error really wasn't his fault.

    Luke Donald avoids disqualification

    ESPN

    AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Luke Donald avoided disqualification from the Masters on Thursday when it was determined his first-round score was improperly entered in the tournament's scoring system because a fax machine produced a smudged number.

    Donald, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, shot 75 in the opening round at Augusta National, but tournament scoreboards had him for a 73 because his score was improperly read after it had been faxed to those recording the scores.

    Had Donald really signed for a 73 when shooting a 75, he would have been disqualified. The error occurred at the par-4 fifth hole, where Donald three-putted for a bogey 5 and acknowledged as much after the round. But the score went down as a 3 in the scoring system because officials read it as a 3 -- not the 5 that Donald told them was written on the card.

    Donald was not available for comment after the scorecard issue came to light. Augusta National officials described it as an "administrative error.''

    His wife, Diane, tweeted: "Just got off the phone with Luke. NOT disqualified. Thanks goodness.''

    One of the pre-tournament favorites, Donald, 34, struggled to a front-nine 38 and then managed just one birdie on the back nine. He trails leader Lee Westwood by eight strokes.

    "This place ... you know if you are a little off, it can eat you up,'' said Donald, who won the Transitions Championship three weeks ago, before the scorecard problem came to light. "My preparation has been as good as it's ever been. I almost wanted to start on the weekend because I was hitting it so nicely. Maybe I peaked a couple of days early. Hopefully, I will find something on the range and go low tomorrow.''

    Donald won four times around the world in 2011 and won the money titles on both the PGA Tour and European Tour.

    Augusta National was involved in perhaps the game's most famous scorecard mishap. Following the 1968 Masters, Argentina's Roberto De Vicenzo was made to take a 4 on the 17th hole during the final round. He actually had made a birdie 3 at the hole, which would have been a playoff the next day with Bob Goalby.

    But because De Vicenzo had signed for a higher scorer -- the 4 was mistakenly marked on his card by player Tommy Aaron -- he was required to take it. That meant missing a playoff by a stroke. If you sign for a score lower than you shot, the penalty is disqualification.

    Ever give any thought to the notion you MIGHT be color blind? Bubba's driver is pink.

    Bubba grew up right down the road from where I grew up, along with Boo Weekly and Heath Slocumb. I used to cheer for each of them anytime I got the chance. When Bubba bought the General Lee, I figured anyone who did something like that had to be an ok guy in my book, then I saw him of "Feherty" a few nights ago, now I'm not so sure about Bubba..... He seemed really unusual to me, not very easygoing. He was very quick (even interrupting a question) to point out that he would not allow ANY alcohol in his house under any circumstances, like the mere mention of alcohol upset him. That, along with his talk about religion gives me the impression that he is a closed minded, intolerant individual and if I lived next door he would think I am scum because I like a little rock n roll, mixed with a few adult beverages and some adult activities out by the pool in the summer.

    Are you being serious, it is pink? We have a tv with a fourteen inch screen here at work, that also plays DVDs. It's hard to make out much detail from across the room, but it's kinda hard eating your lunch while standing right in front of the darned thing. I'm amazed the city allowed us to even have cable, for that matter. Thanks for the head's-up.

    Isn't that Feherty show terrific? I have yet to tune into it and be bored, and the guy is refreshingly, brutally honest about his own failures, his drinking and bipolar issues. Absolutely "must see" tv, right there.

    But I really don't know exactly what to make of this...

    I enjoy Feherty most of the time, he gets the people I want to find out more about that you won't see anywhere else. His interviewing skills are getting better, he's not interrupting people as much this season, letting the show be about them and not him, all that remains now is to tone down the emphasis on his scrotum.
