With a rumored 30,000 people surrounding the infamous par 3 at the TPC today, they booed and cheered as always, living up to their reputation as the craziest/loudest/most obnoxious fans on tour. They also demaned Camilo Villegas, who knocked a close one to 18 inches perform his trademark pose.

Quoting Russell Crowe in Gladiator, "Are you not entertain?!".  Well if their not, don't worry, the 16th hole will let you know one way or another.

The weather in Scottsdale, at my work...

First...a nice collared shirt.  The mock turtle necks are OK, but not everyone can pull them off.  I really like the "wiki" fabrics being used, and if you can get away with it, shirts with a more athletic cut are great.  Nike and Adidas have tons of great shirts for men.

Next, a nice pair of slacks or if it's hot, shorts.  But no cargo, no jeans and PLEASE no jean shorts.  I wouldn't say it if I haven't seen it.  But it's really that simple. 

I believe the way you dress on the golf course is how you feel about your game.  So the better you look, chances are the more confident you are. (Which most women find sexy.)  It's okay to have your own sense of style while playing, and in the event you out dress your game, no problem, we are probably not watching your swing anyway.

Today's PGA Tour Pros have a little bit of everything when it comes to style.  The younger guys are wearing flashy belt buckles, longer hair and military caps. Guys like Vijay and Stewart Cink keep it old school with a golf shirt and slacks..I'm fine with it as along as it looks nice.  (Sloppy is not sexy!)

But if you want my honest opinion, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer each had a great sense of style and made golf look good.

First order of business...stop using MY RIGHT HAND!  I have been told several times to stop and still I don't.  So this morning I was trying to think of ways to cure myself.  And sadly the only thing I could think up was to take up surfing in hopes a shark would bite it off...morbid I know, but I'm getting desperate. 

Another tool, get a tire, yes a real tire and hit it over and over using only your left arm.  It apparently helps muscle memory, and helps you keep your hands infront of the club face.  But I don't have a spare spare tire laying around, so I actually made a "punching" bag out of old jeans and a pair of long johns.  (They aren't really needed in Arizona, ever).  After about 3 minutes of hitting this thing using my left arm, my forearm was burning so bad I thought it might fall off.  I must  have been doing it right.

(I need one of these please.)

A "lateral water hazard" is a water hazard or that part of a water hazard so situated that it is not possible or is deemed by the Committee to be impracticable to drop a ball behind the water hazard.  It is marked with red stakes or lines.

A "water hazard" is any sea, lake, pond, river, ditch, surface drainage ditch or other open water course (whether or not containing water) and anything of a similar nature on the course.  Stakes or lines used must be yellow.

See Rule 26 of the USGA determine how to play your ball if you find yourself in a wet situation.

The girls (or guys) who do this job usually work long hours, have to deal with weather conditions (depending on the course) and get rejected while still keeping a smile on their face.  So next time you see your beverage cart person (girl or guy) be nice to them.
