Here are some totally unrelated thoughts and comments.
The Lovely Sharon accuses of me of having an Open
Marriage. She says I leave the
dishwasher open, I leave the kitchen cupboards open, I leave the bedroom
closets open, I leave the kitchen drawers open, I leave the chest of drawers
open and I leave the toilet seat up. In
essence, she tells me that I leave almost everything open than can be left
open. I would be highly offended at her accusation
if it weren't true.
I watched a short video on the Golf Channel yesterday in
which Jack Nicklaus was watching Arnold Palmer hit balls on a driving
range. Jack was giving Arnold advice
about his stance and other matters.
Arnold was listening to Jack’s advice and then attempting to adjust his
swing. This video did not look too
old. It looked like it was filmed
recently, not back in their playing days. It was so cool that these old warriors and competitors were working together on Arnold's game Some
of the great things about golf is that everyone who plays, is trying to hit
longer, hit it straight and in general play better and golfers are available to
help their friends. I remember a couple
of years ago when Steve Stricker was helping Tiger with his putting. I think that is great.
Last Friday I went to the Kraft Nabisco LPG
Championship in Rancho Mirage, California. This is one the LPGA's Majors. I have been to this
tournament several times over the last 15 years but I had not been for a few
years. I followed Paul Creamer for 7
holes and then I followed Morgan Pressel for 11 holes. Paula Creamer was not particularly
fun to follow. She didn't say anything
to her playing partner (Sandra Gel), she had no interaction with the gallery
and she made no eye contact with the gallery.
She seemed pissed off on every shot.
I finally left her group and followed Morgan who was fun to watch and
looked like she was enjoying the competition.
I know golf is tough and the players want to, and need to, concentrate,
but they are in the entertainment business as well as golfers. I remember years ago following Curtis Strange for 18 around the course at the Bob Hope. It
was the same as following Paula Creamer; he said nothing to his playing
partners and seemed angry the entire round.
Another year I followed Payne Stewart for 18 holes at the Bob Hope and
he was fun, interacted from time to time with the gallery and played well.
Here is a photo of Morgan Pressel I took on my cell phone:
Here is a photo of Paula Creamer I took on my cell phone.
After I walked 18 holes at the Kraft Nabisco I went to the
driving range to watch players hit balls.
These ladies are sooooo good. I
love to watch them play.
This week in Salt Lake the temperature is in the 70’s. The grass is green and the trees are starting
to come out. I love spring time.
Last Sunday, Ironwood Country in Palm Desert had a great 5
hour event called Ironwoodstock. There
was food, music and fireworks. I will
post some photos in the next couple of days.
Ironwood Country Club always has something fun going on.
This is Masters Week, my favorite week of the golf
season. It is always fun to watch. I hope that someday that I will be able to
attend, even if just for one day. I know
people who have attended and I like to hear them talk about it. This year, friends Ray and Kaye are at the
tournament. I am very happy there were able to get tickets.
Here is a picture of Kim Kardashian’s butt. This was on Huffington Post yesterday. Don't you thing its interesting that someone's butt is news?
Here is the Lovely Sharon at dinner one night last weekend in Palm Desert. Totally beautiful.
