Rainy Days & Sundays and Tiger and The Curse of the Supermodel

Soooo... Sunday afternoon with golf and rained out Cardinal baseball. I have a lot of work I should be doing but here I am. Posted a few new albums on Facebook from the summer and learned how to make a slide show from an iPhoto album. Conceivably I could have been more unproductive but it would be difficult to ascertain how. It looks like Tiger might have lost the lead to this nice young Korean gentlemen. He has never lost the lead before but he cannot make a putt to save his life. It is always hard to remember that Minnesota can be beautiful. He is also having a problem straightening out his approach shots and Y.E. Yeng is playing him hard and conservative as he protects this little lead.

I remember when Tiger burst onto the scene and I was explaining to my then teen aged son Jon that we might not see anyone win a tournament again. Once again i was wrong as Tiger proved that he could follow the fate of rock stars and other athletes and would sleep with and marry a supermodel. Current victims aside from Tiger are Tony Roma of Dallas and the jury is still out on Brady and the Patriots with that Giselle whatever her name is person. Other victims are musicians (name the lead singer of any great band for the last 30 years as these woman have sucked the creativity and will to live out of way too many to count). Once you have one of them, even as a friend, you are of course done. Obviously the first thing a woman like that does is such the soul out of a man. There is after all a price to pay. Second, and perhaps for these artists worse then losing their soul they find out that having sex with these women after six months is not better or worse then any of the women in their experience.... and it crushes them. That is my theory anyway.

Woods is one down going into 17 and I am hoping they end the Cardinal rain delay since they are losing to the hated (not really) San Diego Padres. Waiting to go out and visit my father in law at St. Lukes as he waits for a quadruple bypass next week. I know he is watching the same golf and hoping for a lift of the rain delay as well. Occasionally we get thunder and my psychotic dog Lola goes into a whimpering fit where she mewls and howls and rubs against me looking for comfort. When we are not here she goes really crazy and we find things knocked off the wall and paw prints on bathroom vanities as she looks for a “safe” place in our house. I am not sure whether Lola was crazy when we got her or whether we made her that way. Probably a coin flip, just like my kids.

On the Par three 17 Yeng put his on the green and Tiger hit a beautiful shot....that skipped over into the rough. It looked like it was going to the flag for a tap in and then it skipped rather then stuck. Once again I blame Elen Norgreden or Mrs. Tiger Woods. I feel like of these athletes would come to the midwest and marry a nice Lutheran girl to keep them grounded.... everything would fall into place for them. He just failed to make his chip shot run to the hole, likely while he was thinking about how irritable his wife was going to be with him for coming in second and fearing that she might leave him for this young man Y.E. Yeng. But Yeng flubs his up and leaves the door open. Tiger has what looks be like every 12 footer he has missed all day.... and he does. If Yeng makes his he will carry a 2 shot lead into 18... but Yeng lips out and we go to 18 with Tiger down 1.

Yeng rips his drive down the left side. During the break i went down to get a beer and saw my 16 year old daughter and 19 year old son watching “Keeping Up With The Khardashians”. I weep for our countries future. Tiger rips one down the right side but he needs to something extraordinary or he will prove to be too human...again. If Yeng, a Korean wins this, will we be forced to address him as “our most beloved and wonderful PGA Champion”? He just hit an almost perfect approach to within 8 feet. Tiger is going to try and hit a 5 iron 197 yards.... into the rough on the left. It looks like it is over. All Tiger needs to do is chip in from 20 feet. Missed it and is about 10 foot out. They let Yeng putt first. This is the first lead he has blown after 54 holes ever. Yeng birdies. Tiger misses ANOTHER putt and loses by 3. Perhaps when his wife leaves him he can get some retired Victoria’s Secret model or something. It could be happen.
