  1. He'll replay that par putt over and over for a while. Still a great showing for 59. Hey, at least an American won!!
  2. Watson makes double-bogey and Cink birdies. Cink with a 4 shot lead going to the 18th hole.
  3. Watson misses wide left in the tall rough, flubs the shot, still in the rough, and lays up down the fairway. Watson on the green in 4, Cink on in 2 with a chance for eagle. Watson will be lucky to save par with a 35-40 footer.
  4. Cink lags to within 3 feet. Watson makes his par after that fine pitch and run shot to within 8 feet. Cink still one up going to the 17th, which is an eagle hole par 5.
  5. 6th hole....227 yard par 3....Watson wide right with a tough pitch shot....Cink on the green within 25 feet for birdie.
  6. Cink hits a magnificent bunker shot to within 6 feet and pars. Watson hits a poor bunker shot and two putts for bogey. Cink one up....on to the 6th hole
  7. Hole 5...both players find greenside bunkers with their 2nd shots.
  8. Correction....4 hole playoff is 5,6,17,18....starting now.
  9. Watson slightly flew the green on 18 needing par to win. Stewart Cink was one behind and finished. Watson putted from off the green and left an 8-9 footer for par. He missed badly and made bogey to tie Cink at -2. Playoff is 8,9,17,18...I believe is what they said.
  10. Playoff....dadgumit
  11. I guess we'll have to do away with all of the Three Stooges takeoffs on Hitler. Here's just one... [Hidden Content]
  12. Dang, there goes all the political cartoons....and late night tv.... talk shows, and especially SNL.
  13. what? he missed his fifth cut in his entire professional career? he MUST not be that good. of course, jack missed 88, but i'm sure a lot of those were when he was getting old. In majors only, Jack missed 33 cuts, most of them (22) in the '90s and '00s....so you are right. Why so defensive? 59 year old Watson playing like he is 30.......putting for eagles!!!! Gotta love it!!!
  14. I think the conditions of any course affect all golfers the same. It doesn't matter if you just left Pebble Beach to play Turnberry, everything is even. Pay more attention to your practice rounds. You're right...Tiger is human after all. ;D I agree with Lazeek, this is one for the books if Tom hangs on.
  15. Just as I thought. Crickets chirping from the Michael Vick Vap-O-Rub Club.
  16. Great to see one of Jack's old nemeses showing the young crowd how to play golf. Tom Watson is one of the best to ever play the game. I hope he wins it.
  17. Wow...if only the countless parents over the years (whose kids tried/abused/or were addicted to any substance) would have thought about talking to their kids and "knowing" their kids well enough to know when they were lying. Sometimes, it might not be that easy. I, too, believe that it is the parent(s)'s job to teach their kids to not only say no to any drug, but also let their parents know if they know of someone who is attempting to get kids to try drugs. Does it happen? Yes and no. Are there still countless kids who lie to their all-to-trusting-parents? Yes and no. Will it continue? I'm sure. There are those who will become manipulative enough to convince their parents that they have not (or never will) try drugs and then there some parents who actually probably have a clue that there is a problem, but are too scared/cowardly/or just don't care to address the problem and do something about it. Wow, if only you could bring some facts to bear for your argument, it could lend some credence to your debate. Actually, you don't debate, you simply disagree for the sake of indifference. I immediately addressed your statement about the girl who you say was tested over a three year period, when in actuality, the program has only been in existence for two. I guess you really can't rebutt that. Then you said it's hard to put a price on saving a kid. I not only came up with a price, I even showed that its value is going down. Again, no rebuttal. I showed how the testing program has proven there is no steroid problem and is a ridiculous waste of millions of dollars. No argument there either. Then, about the holier-than-thou, see-through, lacking depth of knowledge, I blamed the sign toters, who seem to get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when they feel they have somehow saved a kid by throwing money at the problem. No response again. Then, I give an example of how I treat my kid and the positive results it can have, while not spending any more money, and the only thing you do is attack that personal portion by insinuating that I think I am unique in my approach. Let's hope not. Since you think this testing will save lives, please enlighten me as to why you would think that the 19 kids who tested positive are saved? Do you think that simply getting caught will make them stop? Hardly....even the fear of being caught didn't stop them. Of course, people always think the other guy is the one who will get caught. Is there some provision for counseling or rehabilitation for these kids? Big fat NO! Their only punishment is that they are suspended from the sport or extracurricular activity they are involved with. Please show me where six million dollars is worth that! As for parenting, you have parents like myself (and hopefully yourself) who treat their kids with love and respect, but still are the boss over their teenager. My kid may become the biggest drug user in the world, but it won't be while he lives at home. The kids I feel for are those that are not loved at all, those whose parents love them but are afraid (like you said) to discipline them for fear of distancing themselves from their kid, and then the ones who are spoiled and unsupervised in any venture. Nothing is 100% effective, but spending six million dollars and turning up an insignificant number of positive tests statewide, does absolutely nothing towards saving these kids. The proof is in the scale back.
  18. I got to see Katy play in the dome back in the '90s, and they were positively the best well-oiled machine I have ever seen. Not sure if the coach is the same as then, but I really was amazed. Sorry WB, I think Central wins this year....but then, that's why we play the game.
  19. I really can't believe you said that. We all loved Matherson and enjoyed watching him perform. Felt bad for him that the season was going to be a tough one. I personally thought we were going to blank you, but when the safety happened, I was surprised and then I realized that was your first points and applauded the kids. Not one ounce of sarcasm from this Dog, and I believe I speak for the rest. I sure hate it when people get the wrong idea of what happened or why. Back on topic, I think Central wins this year.
  20. Well where is the Vick support group? Vick got two years so these guys should get the same. Oh, that's right, you are not after justice, just don't mess with the football players.
  21. Can you talk about those on a public forum? I thought about that and decided against it. :
  22. OK all you Michael Vick supporters. Time to pay the piper. Are we going to hear how these guys were railroaded?...or how they were just trying to feed their families?.....or how they were just fighting and killing dogs?......Oh BOO HOO!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
  23. i thought a continent was something you put on your french fries... No, that's a condominium
  24. Great bunch of kids. The All Stars are very deserving as were the individual award winners. I look for these teams to make it far.
