GOLF!

Happy Monday!

1. Ok, ok, so golf isn’t very exciting. I’ve played golf my whole life and I can admit that. It’s a sport that hinges on patience and self control. That’s not exactly a hockey fight. I get that. Sometimes, I turn on golf just so I can take a nap or zone out or imagine I’m riding a flying elephant to candy island. But seriously, the final round of this year’s U.S. Open was A-FUCKING-MAZING. Rocco Mediate? Rocco Mediate? Awesome. When Woods hit that birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff and let out that primal scream coupled with the pumping flailing arms, it was hard not to fall into a state of delirium. Hell, I missed the last few holes and saw that pump on ESPN after hearing what happened and I still screamed when I saw it. It was awesome. AWESOME! I bet a bunch of little kids who were forced yesterday to watch the final round with their Dads -against their will- became instant fans.

That is all for today, I’ve got softball rosters to solidify.

I swear to god if I hear one more person talking about golf today, I will… I don’t know. Be really annoyed or something. I saw Tiger’s pumping flailing arms (not because I was willingly watching it, but because I’d lost control of the remote in a very violent battle with my husband) and at first I thought TW was cheering because the whole boring mess was finally OVER and deep down he hated golf as much as I do.

G.B.-This year’s U.S. Open was theater at its best. Your husband and I have wonderful taste.
