Finally, now that the less than thrilling Hawaiian swing and the pointless Tiger-drama is over, the season can actually tee off this week with the Phoenix Open. This is one of the most entertaining tournaments on the tour, worth watching for the 16th hole alone. This consists of a fairly difficult par 3, with a drive over sand, rocks and brush and a postage stamp sized green. It is surrounded on all sides by a stadium full of drunkards more blasted than the revelers of your local at New Years, whom more often than not boo the players for poor shots and cheer them even louder for well placed ones.
Here is a list of the more interesting pairings for Thursday's round: LINK
These caddie races are great..have they always done that??
That really took off a couple of years ago, mainly on Thursday & Fridays when the matches were not being shown nationally. Now, with the Golf Channel playing and replaying the event up to three times a day, things have lightened up a great deal. But I guarantee you, if the final grouping or the top few guys are in a tight fight on the leader board, you will not be seeing much or any of it.
you lucky bastids get to watch golf for free in real time.
Nah, we still have to pay for basic cable, at least. You can always go to the PGA website, but the results are fairly choppy and only reflect a portion of the coverage provided by Golf Channel, CBS, NBC, TNT and ESPN. And the less said about TNT's and ESPN's offerings, the better. (Don't get me started on Ernie Johnson or Chris Berman, two twits that never know when to shut up, let alone have a clue about golf broadcasting.)
