  1. Saw the movie "Goodbye Christopher Robin" last night.

    After seeing that, I have to put Winnie-the-Pooh up there on the list now (seriously).  I had no idea what kind of worldwide impact it had at the time, and the positive effect it had on WWII soldiers who would sing its song to provide them comfort of home and their childhood while enduring the war.

  2. Well, he is (was) a cardiologist.  What if he was investigating a new drug called Provasic and discovered it caused liver damage?  Well, the pharmaceutical company, Devlin MacGregor, has invested millions in this drug and is going to lose out on billions in profits if it turns out that the drug will be shelved because of the aforementioned liver damage discovered by this doctor.

    So MacGregor hires a hit-man to take the cardiologist out so they can start selling the new wonder drug.  

    I'm just trying to figure out how a one-armed hit man could possibly do this while riding a bicycle.  But give me time...I'll figure it out.

    Was shocked at how open and honest he was. I thought he was going to be arrogant and say the course was set up exactly how they wanted it to be. 

    Well he did actually say that...but for the start of the day. But as Duval said later on the Golf Channel, they knew that courses always change as the day wears on, especially at a place like Shinnecock. So if they know that, why did they set the course up exactly how they want it at the start of the day knowing it will deteriorate? You could tell Duval was fighting the urge to call them dumbfucks at the end of his comments. 

  4. As the USGA CEO himself said (surprisingly), you want great shots to be rewarded, and with the condition of the greens for the later pairings, this wasn't the case.  Great shots were penalized due to the conditions of the greens.

    I don't know if that is Strange or Azinger claiming that +7 won at Inverness in the 1970s but whoever it is is dead wrong.   Hale Irwin won in 1979 at Inverness by shooting even par.

    I hate watching a major not televised by CBS.  Fox is like single A baseball compared to CBS being MLB.

    I kind of enjoy going to SECRant, because every other school's posters hate A&M and make fun of them, but there are still a few aggies hanging around, desperate for acceptance, taking the hate.  This one from last week made me blow my drink out my nose:

    I want to buy TigerOnTheMountain a beer...every day for the rest of his life.

    You are either going to be a cautionary tale or a good example at any given moment. That's the point of evangelism. 

    But that's the crux. No one is capable of being a "good example".  Completely impossible.  We are all sinners.  "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."

    This is what Jesus was trying to get across to the Holier-than-Thou Pharisees.  Unfortunately, in American Christianity today, we have a lot of Evangelicals who want to talk about the Law from a similar position as the Pharisees of old, and not the Gospel, as if any man could possibly be justified under the Law.  No one can.  That's the whole point...we all need the Gospel for salvation.
