The masters is on this weekend. I am pretty excited to watch them. Normally, I am not a big golf fan. The one time I tried to play 18 holes, I got bored after 5 and skipped to the back 9, walked a few holes and played the last one. But watching it is a completely different story.
Now, I know many people will read this (and by many I mean the 4 people that read this), and think that the reason that I am watching this year is to do with Tiger Woods and his scandalous actions. To be honest, yes I like watching Tiger Woods. But this was before his scandal. I just think he's a good player and his celebrity (before the scandal) is interesting. So yes, I was interested to see how he played but not because of the fact that he back from a sex addiction and because he's cheated repeatedly on his wife. But because I want to see how he plays after the 5 months leave from the game he's had.
Yes, he did terrible things. No, he's not really someone to look up to. But you can't take away from him that he is a good golfer.
And the stories coming from this year's tournament. There's the amazing back to back bogeys eagles (thanks L) that Phil Mickelson made this afternoon (one hole he made it from over 100 yards out). Then the Fred Couples and his happy go lucky appearance including lack of socks. Oh, and Anthony Kim who L and I have dubbed mini-Tiger. Oh, and I throughly enjoy when people hit it into the crowd. So fun.
Anyways. Enough about golf. I must go watch some more now.
*Edit: I do know the difference between a bogey and an eagle. Really I do.

I think it's really sad that most of my golf knowledge comes from Wii sports.
Also, I enjoy that you call him L. For a long time I tried to dub myself this by signing all my notes/emails/etc "L"... didn't catch on haha.
