The Best In Golf

Royal Birkdale

Not very long ago, before TIVO, the greatest invention since ED drugs by the way, the only time one could roll out of bed, walk the dog, fix a Starbucks, and watch live golf was this very day…Open Sunday.

.

I love the starter.  “Ladies and Gentleman, this is the last game of the championship…on the tee from Ireland, the defending champion, Padraig Herrington”. 

.

I love the way the cameras shimmy in the wind, how the ball flickers, and how the fans all look like Wisconsin steel workers.

.

There are those I know who would rather record and play back later to avoid all the bad advertising, but not me….I want it live and will watch the goober with the big red umbrella or the Lexus Racing Golfers commercial 91 times to do it…or is that Mercedes? 

.

No that’s the one where the soccer mom looks like she’s having the best day of her life carrying the kiddies around.  When in reality she’d be driving 50 in a 30 on the cell phone terrorizing everything in her path…hey, maybe we could get her to mow down the umbrella guy…but I digress.

.

Give it to me live and the longer the better.  I don’t mind…after all it’s a most Underrated Thing In Golf.
