"My Arm! It's Broken!"
I played golf with my boss this morning -- Mangrove Bay in St. Pete. Because I wanted to keep my job, I let him win...by 25 strokes. To ensure his superiority, I also sliced myriad tee shots into rattlesnake-infested thickets. I think this made everyone feel really good.
Mike shot a sweet 89. So that means...
...I shot a 114, baby!
Now people who are good at golf or math might think that 114 is a high number. But hell, I suck. So 114 is actually like me winning the Masters. All in all, it was a good day. Although I'm not sure I'll get invited back. After playing in the 173 degree heat (172 in the shade), I was a sweaty, red-faced mess with a booger the size of an Onset oyster in my nose. It was awesome.
Anyway, in celebration of my incredible golf game, here's Sean's "Keep It Fair, Keep It Fair" Links Mix:
Bye-Bye Birdie -- Ann-Margret
Cold Irons Bound -- Bob Dylan
Big Shot -- Billy Joel
Big Stick -- Bruce Hornsby
Magic Stick -- Lil' Kim
Double Bogey Blues -- Mickey Jones
Drive -- the Cars
Drivin' My Life Away -- Eddie Rabbitt
Pretty Green -- Mark Ronson
Fly Like an Eagle -- Steve Miller Band


Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
A well-placed booger on a tee shot will help counteract that vicious slice. Put it on top of the ball and the mometum caused by the extra weight will minimize the clockwise spin you've imparted on the ball.
Be sure to "Pick and Clean" before putting, though.
Fore.
