I dunno. I could think of worse pastimes.

Saw some of the Players Championship last weekend - my new favorite - Alex Cejka.Born in Czech Republic, now from Germany."No golfer at The Players Championship ever led by five strokes after three rounds before Alex Cejka on Saturday. After five holes Sunday, he didn't lead at all. The German who started the day as the one to catch quickly played himself into catch-up position. Playing in a Sunday final group with the outright lead for the first time in his PGA Tour career, Cejka started with a bogey. He struggled to a double at No. 4 and then added three more bogeys to make the turn at 5 under despite starting the day at 11 under. His front nine score of 6-over 42 was worse than all but two other golfers Sunday -- and Boo Weekley didn't even bother to finish after his 44. For the tournament, Cejka finished at 4 under and tied for ninth. "I wasn't nervous," Cejka said. "I was playing well. I just got really, really unlucky." Historic rise, fall for third-round leader Cejka - The St Augustine Record May 11

It's the golfers that I dislike...I always think of scenes from this movie when golfers are annoying me...Caddy Shack - Bill Murray on Looping for the Lama"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet..."

This too - a good book for a golfing vacation.Who's Your Caddy? - Rick Reilly"...Caddying for a golf pro just might be every amateur golfer's dream. Reilly managed to talk 11 players, media personalities and one infamous gambler into letting him follow them inside the ropes, even though he had no experience as a caddy and showed that fact so many times that John Daly nicknamed him "Dumbshit." Consider spilling Jack Nicklaus's clubs out onto the wet ground, just as he asks you for a new ball. Or leaving David Duval's golf clubs in the locker room overnight (the ones he won the British Open with) and not being able to find them the next morning."

The warship is back...

Ode to a DriverWent to the driving range with a TITLEIST 909D Comp yesterday - fabulous!From review at Golf Digest: "I can't believe this is a Titleist. Incredible distance, soaring ball flight." Look at what I did to the moon.

Swilcan Bridge, St. AndrewsSome people cannot stand the ancient and royal sport, including my father.What is the conflict between golf and cosmology?Little tiny white balls, little tiny leptons in a big green-black universe...

This thread came up in a conversation about climate change this morning...I especially like the thread title. (It should not be "corrected" either.)
